If you have school-age kiddos, I'm sure you've spent lots of time packing lunches and snacks for them to take along. Now that Noah is in school and I'm packing lunches on the daily, I started feeling like I was running out of ideas of things to make for him. I think anyone would get sick of a sandwich after a while (I know I couldn't eat one every single day for lunch!) so I came up with a few new lunch ideas that are unique, yummy, and nutritious. Keep reading for all of my kid's lunch ideas plus what I like to store everything in. 

Somehow 2022 has flown by and Thanksgiving is already upon us next week! While Thanksgiving means lots of family time, turkey, and apple pie, it also means Black Friday and Cyber Monday are here and it's officially time to get our holiday shopping done! Shopping for everyone on your list can feel overwhelming, so I put together a list my favorites For Her, For Mama & Kids, and For the Kitchen & Home to get your shopping off to an smooth start. Whether they love home decor, cozy loungewear, cooking, or travel, you're going to find something fabulous for them on these lists. Happy shopping!

I started writing this post before I went to the hospital and had baby Max. Now that I'm back home with him, I feel like it's an even better post because I can share with you everything that I packed, and also what I actually used. So let me first say... you really really don't need to pack all that much. The hospital pretty much has everything you (and baby) will need, but there are a few things to pack that will definitely make your hospital stay more comfortable! This list is a combination of things I brought and used and of course suggestions from friends of amazing things I wouldn't have thought to bring with us. I also recorded a whole video on instagram showing all of the items I packed - you can watch it here! Ok let's get into the details... here's everything I packed, and you'll see a * next to everything I actually ended up using!
