Perfect kitchens are over-rated…

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs

It’s another DITL VLOG!  Hang out with us, garden, grocery shop (with a little grocery haul), see what I eat in a day, and make a fly by the seat of your pants dinner (where I break all the rules…like always haha!).  Carson also has some things he would like to show you.  I also explain why perfect kitchens are over-rated.  Family first!

2nd trimester recap!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs

Is my second trimester already over?  With the second baby, things seem a whole lot different this go around.  In this video I cover my labor fears, struggles and joys of those middle months, and my maternity photo shoot (outside of my comfort zone but so glad I did it!) Also, a little cameo from Carson!

If you are in the Charlotte, NC area, you can see more work from my photographer (and good friend) here.  She’s awesome!

VLOG | How to make slime!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs, Teaching

Come spend the afternoon with us in this casual video and learn our favorite recipe for making slime with your kiddos (see below).  We head to the store and chat about great buys at Target and the Dollar Tree.  And new mascara.  You know, all the fun, girly things.

***Recipe for SLIME!***
1 cup white glue
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup hot water
1.5 to 2 Tablespoons Borax (found in the laundry aisle)
Food coloring (about 5 or 6 drops of green gives you the pretty turquoise color!)

Mix the water and food coloring. Pour over glue in a bowl. Stir. Add hot water and Borax. Stir and knead until it becomes slime. This will take about 10 minutes (or at least it did for us). It keeps absorbing more and more water until it is one mass!

Name Reveal!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs

So excited that this news is finally public and we can share with you the name of our second son!  It came to us pretty quickly.  I know some people like to wait until the baby is born to share, but we didn’t wait with Carson and we want to be able to connect with this little guy, too.  We love you, little guy!!

Surprise Gender Reveal | It’s a ______!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs

Here’s our surprise gender reveal for our family… using silly string!  Charlie and I went to the ultrasound appointment on Wednesday and had our parents over on Saturday to share the big news.  We wanted something simple and low-key.  So thankful for all His goodness.  This little baby is meant for us! 🙂

Simple Toddler Chores & Responsibility

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs, Online Deals, Teaching


Here is the simple way we encourage Carson to be a helper in our home.  His responsibilities are simple and manageable.  Chore systems are also for the parents (ME!) to keep you intentional about having your kids contribute.  It’s often far easier to just “do it yourself” but we are in the business of teaching life-skills, right?   Chore/Responsibility charts are a great place to start and be intentional with your kids!
