Oh the ever elusive, restful sleep. Being a mom means wearing SO MANY different hats and taking care of ourselves can sometimes be the last on the list. I have spent too much time in my 20s not taking self care into consideration and I’m really starting to fill the aftermath in my 30s. One of the most important lesson I’ve learned is to value sleep like my life depends on it. (it really does ha!). Self care to me means investing in a peaceful sanctuary for restful sleep. We have spent far too long in our 20s piecemeal-ing our bedding, I honestly wish I knew the basic, quality bedding building blocks back then! Today I am sharing with you how to get better sleep by including 3 quality bedding basics!

You guys know I have been on a mission to find the best skin care products in 2018 that is cleaner and more natural. It is a huge goal of mine to detox our routines but finding anti-aging face creams and serums that actually work is another story. For those of you who expressed interest in finding out the WHYs behind clean beauty, I wanted to create a cheat sheet of key ingredients to avoid when evaluating clean beauty products.

Yes, you read that right. We have completely lost our minds and thought it would be a great idea to take our dog, cat AND baby on a trip. For my 30th birthday, we decided to visit Galveston Texas for our first "whole family adventure". Sure, take a cat to the beach, what a fantastic thought! Amongst the chaos, we managed to make it through the weekend with full hearts and new experiences. Kai is still talking about her trip to the "theme park" aka Galveston Pleasure Pier. Here are a few things we learned along the way and toddler friendly activities in Galveston. Peek inside for my review of Lily Jade's Lifestyle and Travel Bags too!

Over the weekend, we decided to visit her first confetti fun house together at the Montrose Studios in Houston. There are different rooms with unique themes, each colorfully designed and totally interactive. There are balloons, unicorns and confetti galore for her to explore. I also wanted to snap some action shots of daddy and daughter moments. When Kai saw the color space and heard her favorite tunes, she started giggly and wanting Kevin to spin and dance with her. I love watching her twirling to her own tunes in her Carter’s dress and dragging daddy’s hand to get him involved. This sweet moment totally reminded me of what’s to come on her wedding day. Okay, okay, I’ll stop before I become an emotional mess.
