Our Top 10 Mommy + Me Moments of 2016 0

We're saying goodbye to 2016 with a recap of our top 10 Mommy + Me moments of the past year. It was truly an incredible time in our lives, and we're so thankful that so many of you came along on the journey with us too!  1. Mommy + Me Summer Internship. Initially, I wondered if at 3 years old toddler boss would be missing anything by being with me all summer, but then I saw that she was gaining more than I ever imagined and it all made perfect sense. This is our life. "We are ontra-pra-new-ers," she loves...

BambiniWare at Home for Christmas 1

Welcome to Christmas at our home, which we lovingly refer to as "Grant Central." I like to describe our Christmas style as warm and inviting, with a focus on family traditions. As you'll see, our decorations are one big glorious mix of old, new, handmade, borrowed and store-bought--all reflections of who we are, how we live and what we love.Come on in... This year, I really wanted make my own wreath, but it just didn't happen. Hubs and I settled instead on this one from Lowe's, which was the perfect look for our door. I bought...

DIY Holiday Sugar Scrubs Make the Sweetest Gifts 0

I love making Christmas gifts and I love body scrubs, so this year I decided to combine my loves by making DIY holiday sugar scrubs to give away as gifts.

Each takes just minutes to make with just a few ingredients (no more than 4!) available at any grocery...

Homemade Strawberry Jam (Toddler Chef-Friendly) 1

I've wanted to make homemade jam since Olivia Pope revealed her Vermont dreams on "Scandal," but I didn't get the real push I needed until our family visited Morning Glory Farm on Martha's Vineyard. It's widely known as "the farm that feeds an island" and it was so easy to see (eat) why. Everything we tasted was amazing, but our family fave was the organic strawberry jam. Just four simple ingredients pack a whole lot of flavor: strawberries, sugar, lemon juice & zest and pure apple pectin. For those of you who are complete jam making newbies...

Red, White & Blueberry Popsicles 0

Popsicles for breakfast? Yes, please! These strawberry, Greek yogurt and blueberry popsicles are a fun, healthy treat with a patriotic flair that the whole family will love. Red, white and blueberry pops are great any time of the year, but they will definitely add more cool points (see what I did there?) to themed menus on Memorial and Independence Days. Toddler boss did the berry counting and blending per usual, and I did the pouring. Obviously, the best part for both of us was eating them, of course:-)   RECOMMENDED AGES:  12+ months.  Click here to download our...
