What’s something you love doing together as a family?
I forgot just how much I love bike riding together until we visited Calistoga. I love that everyone pretty much rides bikes everywhere in this cute little town.
It inspired us to make a point to start doing family bike rides again once we got home. I’m always trying to find ways for us to bond as a family. Biking is definitely an oldie, but a goodie. #simplethingsmadebeautiful #simplethings #simpleliving #familytime #calistoga

This was such an amazing experience for my whole family. An African Safari is high on our bucket list. Since we’re not headed to Africa at the moment I did the next best thing and booked a Safari and overnight glamping at @safariwest .
It’s in Sonoma county and is a must-do if you’re visiting wine country - especially if you’re visiting with the kids! My kids thought it was an amazing experience. I have more about it over on the blog. Link in bio. #safariwest #safari #sonomacounty #napacounty #glamping

We just loved everything about this place. We had the most relaxing couple of days at Indian Springs Resort in Calistoga, Ca.
What you see is literally all we did. If we weren’t riding bikes or playing games, we were floating in the geo-thermal pools. This was our first stop on our spontaneous getaway and is a perfect family spot if you are visiting Napa Valley. #indianspringsresort #indiansprings #familytravel #napavalley

What can I say? My goofy side to comes out when I’m on vacation.

We’re currently enjoying some family fun before school starts again in a couple weeks. I told myself that won’t make any reels until we get back home, but I heard this audio and it perfectly timed out to my horribly bad dancing and I couldn’t resist. 😂 Ta-da! #reelsgrowth #vacationmode #goofymom

#SchickIntuitionPartner Ready or not, the pre-teen years are here. And trust me, I'm
not ready. With these pre-teen years also comes a lot of other things that I'm not
ready for, like shaving! Thank goodness I have @SchickIntuition available to help me
easily teach her all about shaving. It's made the entire process of learning to shave
so easy. It has built-in moisturizer that lathers and shaves all in one step. It also has
wire-wrap blades to help minimize nicks and cuts. I wish I had this when I was her
age. It's seriously the safest and easiest razor to learn to shave.
You can find Schick Intuition Razors at Walgreens. Right now if you spend $20 on
participating products you will receive a $5 Walgreens Cash reward. Offer valid thru

Who else has already gotten their fair share of sun this summer?

I’ve never kept it a secret that I’ve always loved the sun, but with the sun, overtime, comes things like sun damage and hyperpigmentation. This is where @herbalfacefood comes in.

I’ve never tried any other serum that has worked to reverse things like sun damage and hyperpigmentation so fast! In addition to that, my skin is feeling and looking softer and more youthful than ever.

I can’t recommend this stuff enough. It’s 100% made from plants and it works wonders. I have a link to it in my bio if you want to check it out. Use code “Stayingblonde” for 20% off your purchase. #herbalfacefood #hffselflove #herbalfacefoodpartner

Making the best of it. We were supposed to be in Punta Mita, Mexico right now but had to cancel the trip because my husband is sick with Covid. 😩.

I am currently scouring the internet for last minute deals anywhere the week before school starts. He should definitely be feeling better by then. Any ideas or suggestions.

By the way, I am obsessed with our new blow up pool. It’s huge, has a bench and back rest, and has cup holders. In my opinion it is the king of all blowup pools! 😂. You can find a shop link to it in my bio. #summervibes #humor #cancelled #cancelledplans #realmom #realmomlife

What's something you thought your kids would've grown out of but didn't? #AD Mine is their pickiness about what they wear - especially underwear! That's why I've only trusted and they've only ever worn @Hanes.
We've dealt with sensitive skin and sensory issues since they were babies. Hanes offers comforts that alleviates those issues like soft organic cotton, less dyes, tag-less, and cooling fabrics that my kids love. It's the only underwear they can wear all day long without any irritation. My daughter specifically love the girl's Pure Comfort, especially with its soft cotton and flat comfort seams. My son will only wear the X-Temp boxer briefs because of its cooling fabric which wicks moisture away and keeps him dry and comfortable. I love that they are reasonably priced, keep my kids comfortable, and can easily be picked up on any one of my MANY @target runs. If you want to check them out I have the underwear linked in the link in my bio and in my stories.

Is it possible to really “take a break” from social anymore? I am finding that my social media breaks don’t feel like breaks at all. I get sucked back in every time. How do you really disconnect? #momneedsabreak #takingabreak #reality

If you could be an expert on anything what would it be?

At this point in my life, I would love to be an expert in parenting! Seriously, I want to know everything about how to handle the teen and tween years. I haven’t even been dealing with them too long and I’m already realizing that they are a lot more than I anticipated. I think I would take the toddler over the teen years any day! How about you? #momofteensandtweens #momlife❤️

Chicago is a beautiful city, but seeing it from the river is even more stunning. We took the @wendellaboats architectural tour and loved seeing and hearing all about the history of the city and buildings. It’s a perfect way to spend a summer day in the city. #chicago #chicagoboattour #wendellaboats #chicagoriver #chicagocruise
