I've realized something about myself. While I love to entertain, I sometimes worry about the details. Often, I put off getting together with friends because I'm worried about how things will turn out. Will the food be good enough? Will our guests have enough in common? And a big one for us: will the kids derail the whole thing? ha! I'm here to say that I've finally come to the place where I can anticipate what will keep the kids happy so that the adults are happy! Turns out, it's not the number of toys you have or the size of your home. Nope. There are a handful of simple things you can do to throw a kid-friendly, easy summer party, ensuring that your grown-up guests have a great time. And here they are:

Are you on a budget? I got you, girl! I've come across a few beautiful home items for less that I just need to get off of my chest. I mean this rug, you guys. I've lusted after it for years. Can you lust after a rug? Is that a sin? Okay, I'm getting off topic. Read on for the incredibly close Caitlin Wilson Kismet Rug look alike and a few other Look for less West Elm items.

We aren't big gift givers around here but I've come across too many perfect modern Mother's Day gifts to keep them to myself. And maybe due to our gifting deficiency, I had a running wish list in my head from which to choose. These fab finds start at just $5. Enjoy!
I have three kids, all in different phases with varied needs, personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. They exhibit all of the normal behaviors for their ages-- attitude, bickering, not picking up after themselves, lack of self control, etc. Juggling that was starting to feel overwhelming so I decided to get more intentional in my parenting. When a close friend/mentor suggested Parenting on Purpose, I was all over it. While my kids have some of the best qualities (you can read about those here and here), I know we can do a better job training them to be respectful and responsible. Today I'm sharing what I liked about Parenting on Purpose and how it's helped our family.
