Today I’m going to share some of my favorite college dorm room beauty staples. Heading off to college is an exciting time. It’s all a bit nerve-wracking. I remember when I did it. I was so nervous, especially about sharing a bathroom with like a million...

Did you know that there is a whole new world of freaking awesome baby gear things out there that weren’t even an idea when we were little? Things they didn’t even have when Jake was little 10 years ago? As my poor best friend is howling in her bed begging...
