We made it through the first week of 2018! I hope you guys had a good week because mine was Struggletown, USA. McKenna and I had been sick since the day after Christmas and didn't start to feel better until this past Friday. I'm so glad we're both getting over these colds because it's no fun taking care of a sick baby when you feel like you're dying. The babe and I spent a lot of time in bed watching TV and sleeping, but I also managed to catch up on a lot of blog posts and "window shopping". Here are a few of my faves!

Mainly because I always break them within a week, but this year I have just one: be a better mom. I want to push myself to be the best I can for the person I love most in this world and myself. I've come up with 5 ways how I can be a better mom in 2018 and you can, too!

That's why I'm such a huge fan of clothing subscription boxes like Stitch Fix and Le Tote. They make finding the perfect outfit for any occasion so easy!
