I think we can all agree it feels good to actually get ready these days. Even if it is just to pick up coffee or groceries. And since I'm not wanting to invest in a big summer wardrobe at the moment, these under $50 basics have been ideal. ...
Here’s How to Entertain a One-Year-Old
If you read his 1-Year Update, you know that George is now 14 months and officially a walker. He's changed so much over the last few months and let's just say keeping him entertained is harder than when he was a baby. He definitely likes to be on the move and switching things up constantly. And now that we're all at home and trying to work while entertaining him, I've tried just about every activity suggested to keep him entertained. If you're a mama to a child around George's age, I thought it would be helpful to compile what's worked best for us. ...
How I Batch Tasks in Different Areas of My Life
It's been a while since I shared my thoughts on batching tasks and I realized it's not something I've talked about enough - at least in terms of how much I value it. First up, if you aren't familiar with what time batching is, it's essentially grouping similar tasks together. From answering emails for an hour straight to running all errands while I'm already out of the house to shooting a lot of content at once (while I'm in full makeup and hair), I batch non-stop. It's something that became even more important once I had limited time as mom and then even more important once Quarantine went into play and we didn't have childcare. ...
Our Favorite Low-Carb Meals
We all love an easy dinner recipe and if you're trying to stick with a low-carb lifestyle, here are a few meals that we have been enjoying lately.
Since starting F-Factor in January, we've had trouble finding low-carb meals that are 1. satisfying and 2. easy to make. This list checks both boxes for us. My personal favorites are the Garlic Crispy Brussel Sprouts and the Tortilla Pizza.
Let me know what you think if you try any of these! ...

Is anyone else loving what's coming out of H&M lately? I'm personally really into their inventory right now and love how their prices always feel fair on the wallet.

How to Spruce Up Your Home Without Renovating
Building a home was one of the most rewarding (exhausting, but rewarding nonetheless) experiences, especially since we finished up in time to bring George home to it. But there's something really fun about having a fixer-upper or a home that just needs a good polish. I've lived in spaces like this before and even now I'm always thinking up little projects here and there. Whether it's with seasonal decor, a small painting project or throwing down a new rug, there are endless ways to spruce up a space without having to break out the sledgehammers. ...

10 Oversized T-Shirts I’m Into
Let's just say a quick 'thank you' to whoever brought oversized t-shirts back into style, shall we? They've been my go-to shirt this year, partially due to quarantine life at home and partially because I love them with the biker shorts trend. I seem to live and sleep in them and I'm not sure I'll ever give them up. If you're into the style, here are 10 that I'm into, most at very affordable price points. I tend to size up in these styles. ...
George’s 1-Year Update
This year has been incredibly fast -- I honestly can't believe George is one (actually 14 months, but you get the idea). I wanted to share some updates and answer questions I get asked often. ...
Helpful Graphics to Share With Your White Friends and Family About Racism, Privilege and Equality
Source: @ohhappydani
Something I've learned over the last few weeks is that one of the main reasons white people, myself included, do not like to talk about racism, privilege and equality with our friends, family and peers is because it's uncomfortable. And a message I've really taken away from the Black community recently is that if we ever want to help create change, we have to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. ...
