I always appreciate when I get great gift advice for my kiddos. Nothing better than someone who has a similar aged kid that can tell you when something has been a success for them. I hate spending money on presents that my dudes respond to with an “eh” instead of a “this is awesome mom!” …
GILMORE GIRLS, y’all! It’s my newest obsession, and I do mean obsession. It started right after we finished binge-watching Stranger Things. If you’ve seen it, you know that Stranger Things is super intense. I actually avoid intense and scary TV like the plague, but I got talked into watching this – and we ended up …
This post brought to you by Toys“R“Us . The content and opinions expressed below are that of Carrie Elle. You know what one of my favorite parts of Christmas was when I was a kid? I wish I could tell you it was all the services I performed for my community, or the light in my …
If there is one thing I feel qualified to talk about alllll day long and would consider myself a legit expert in, it’s horses. I mean, I’m obsessed now…but you should have seen me as a kid. I was that crazy kid who thought, breathed, slept, and lived horses. I devoured The Encyclopedia of the …

Paper plates, random tables crammed into a room, and usually a handful of people eating dinner on the couch and watching the Cowboys game…that’s how we roll. But in my fantasies, I have a big pretty dining room and we …
Thanksgiving is ALMOST here, and I totally had Thanksgiving in mind when I made these free printable recipe cards. But really? They’re great for any time of year (although they do kind of have a cute fall vibe to them, don’t they?). This is part of my free Thanksgiving printables set, which include a Thanksgiving …
I like shopping for little girls. It’s fun, and, in the case of my child, it’s also super easy. But over the last year or so, we’ve really pared down all the junk in the kids’ rooms so that they only have things they actually play with and use. I told my son to go …
