Loading two kids in and out of the car running errands is so exhausting. I've learned to be really choosy about the errands we run. One thing I learned from motherhood early on, was to do any hack to make it easier. My #1 tip is Walmart's Next Day Delivery. I really don't know how anyone was a mom before 2019 when you an get just about anything delivered to your doorstep.

When I get up early to get work done I can always count on Mackie to wake up with me and keep me company. We've got a little routine.. she follows me out of bed, I let her out in the backyard for a few minutes and then she eats her breakfast while I drink my coffee. It's our special morning quiet time before the rest of our house wakes up and chaos ensues.
Last month Crosby turned two and we celebrated a few days later with a puppy themed party with our families and close friends. Last year, for her first Birthday, we went big... and I actually debated about another big party. But since I was 36 weeks pregnant, we opted for a much smaller celebration that was super easy and stress free.

If you've been reading my blog for awhile you know that Mackie, our 7-year-old French Bulldog, is our first baby. She's as sweet as can be and puts up with a toddler who is still learning the meaning of the word "gentle" without being phased.
Over the last couple of weeks I've been thinking back to things I bought and loved in 2018. An easy way to do this is look in your search history on amazon, or any other sites you shop on a lot. I put together my list of everything from fashion to beauty to home decor items to even a couple kid products I loved. Here are my ten favorite purchases from last year.
This year I wanted to make a list of resolutions based off areas I think I slacked in last year. I really want to make the most of the next three months before baby boy is born and completely rocks my world. After April these might all go out the window, but I want to at least start strong.
