*Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. With Mother’s Day in the rearview mirror, we figured we were in the clear, right? Mom loved her gift and we wouldn’t have to worry about Mother’s Day for another year. But then someone mentioned Father’s Day and the panic returned. Well, don’t worry because, once again, I have your back. […]
This post is part of a partnership with prAna. All words and opinions, as always, are 100% my own. Like many other women not of average size, for most of my life, it was difficult to find active and travel wear that fit properly. The standard sizes were way too small. There wasn’t much in […]

I’m not creative at all when it comes to the visual arts so, when I do go clothes shopping, I pay more attention to the mannequins’ ensembles […]
As a busy mom with two little ones, I sometimes “forget” to do things I need to do for myself. It wasn’t until the beginning of winter (read: Chicago’s first snowfall) that I realized I needed a new pair of black fashion boots! The trusty pair I’ve had (for way too long) just weren’t cutting […]
Travel is a wonderful thing. I think we all can agree on that. It does pose its challenges, though. Travel with kids is the same way. The challenges aren’t any bigger or smaller; they’re just different. Now with two little travelers of my own, I’m always on the lookout for products and gear that can […]
I knew I wanted it before I was even pregnant. I saw it in an outdoor sporting goods catalog and thought it the best invention ever. Years later when I had my daughter and we started traveling with her, I was determined to buy it but couldn’t find it; it was discontinued. I was devastated […]
