Keeping my family well during Cold & Flu season with Physician 360

At Home Strep Test

You know that moment you are really sick but the last thing you want to do is go to a doctor’s office?

Yeah, me too. Especially with a toddler. I am convinced if he or I need to go to the doctor, we will both catch something else. I’m just not down with that!

Days after Christmas, Jericho and I both came down with a cough. He got it, then I got it, then he was better, then I, then we both caught it again. I was convinced it was strep….because without meds it can be the gift that keeps on giving.

Wardrobe edit, part 5: Create outfits with this wardrobe planning app

1 / 11 / 193 / 10 / 20

There are a number of wardrobe and outfit planning apps out there. I used to use an app loyally a couple of years ago, then I lost all the data and they didn’t back it up! So now I have tried many different versions and have found the one that I highly recommend, YourCloset. I am not an affiliate, nor is this sponsored – it is just my favorite option available out there!

You should know I am an android user, so there may be a plethora of options I’m not even aware of. When looking for a wardrobe app (if you want to look around) read the reviews and figure out what is most important to you when selecting the app.

You may be wondering – what is a wardrobe planning app? In a nutshell, its an electronic wardrobe to catalog what you have, keep track of when you’ve worn certain garments and even style pieces together to create outfits.

It’s the first full week of January and everyone is stammering to keep resolutions. Fitness, minimalism, diet, work, spirituality…the list goes on.

For me, refreshing and restarting is the first step to obtaining my goals. I unplugged for a couple of weeks around Christmas, then I started editing my wardrobe (after tackling a client’s the week before Christmas too).

Purging, decluttering and finding some of my favorite items made me realize how much better I feel. And because I am here to serve you, my reader, I want to help you too!

Toddler fashion: The cutest duds for your dapper 3-year-old dude

12 / 31 / 1812 / 30 / 18

It is no surprise that fashion is priority, even for my little family. I married a man who likes to look good too, so it is always important to us to dress our toddler accordingly!

Boy fashion is hard. There isn’t nearly as many options out there, and they tend to all feature the same superhero characters. It takes additional effort to put an outfit together. But, I love it!

I’ve written two more posts similar to this featuring toddler boy clothes and the looks I love, and I couldn’t resist doing a new, fresh post for winter wardrobes.

So sit back, relax and enjoy a little toddler retail therapy!

The Best Christmas Children’s Book

I have always been a lover of all things Christmas. It is the most exciting time of the year for me. Even before I was a Believer, it was the holiday I looked forward to January through November.

Now, as a mom, I have a whole new outlook on this amazing holiday. We take in all the local events, share the story of Jesus and enjoy shopping for gifts. Our three-year-old is beginning to love the season, too!

Here are a few traditions we hold dear to our hearts, and I hope it helps inspire you to build memories with your kiddos.

It’s the most exciting time of the year! And with the holidays comes lots and lots of parties.
