Harper was so sweet at her first communion last night. Lola was half asleep after sitting in the church for 2 hours, and Everly was in it for the photo op.

I’m always so excited to find an amazing line that’s local (Boulder, CO!) and owned by a great family who are trying to do some good. Meghan created @revyskincare in response to a medical diagnosis from her son knowing that a clean lifestyle would benefit him throughout his life. She created 3 products that have become irreplaceable for me, and a cleanser that is one of the smartest around.

REVY is perfect for sensitive, reactive and breakout-prone skin, teens, or someone who likes their routine to be clean and simple. The star for me though, is the cleanser.

It has a texture to it that’s unlike any I’ve ever tried, it’s a light gel cleanser that feels airy and almost whipped. It’s like a cloud in a bottle. A small amount goes far, and the foam builds up, breaking down all traces of dirt and makeup. It leaves skin feeling clean and neutral, not stripped which is unusual for a gel cleanser. Bonus: The light citrus scent smells fresh and clean. $29

Protect, their am moisturizer, has an ingredient list like that of a hydrator that costs at least twice as much. It’s a sophisticated blend of organic aloe, oils, and extracts that make up this mid-weight lotion that strikes a perfect balance. It also offers free radical protection and a shine-free finish that won’t irritate or break out reactive skin. $36

Repair is their night cream with a different but equally complex ingredient list meant to clarify, balance, and reverse UV damage. It leaves my skin feeling balanced, hydrated, and calm. It’s the perfect end to my otherwise busy skincare routine. It also delivers the moisture I need when I scale down to moisturizer only when we’re camping or when I just want to get to bed. $39

I also love that REVY has thought out every detail from their packaging. Their entire airless pump (which I love- especially for travel) is recyclable. Their shipping and packaging boxes are both recyclable and printed on post-consumer materials. They also make a donation to the Children’s Tumor Foundation with every purchase.

REVY is such an awesome, clean line with amazing products and tons of heart. ♥️

In Colorado, you can find them at @vertbeauty

Mother’s Day weekend was spend camping with friends. It was the perfect reminder that camping is our happy place and warmer weather is around the corner.

Hope all of you moms, pet moms, those hoping to become a mom, and those who choose a life free from kids all had a day filled with peace and love. 💗

If you still have any doubts if a natural deodoran

If you still have any doubts if a natural deodorant will actually work, try @piperwai

I’ve tried nearly every one on the market in the past 10 years and I can attest to the fact that many of them don’t work at all, so I can see why people get burned on the idea of trying another one.

@piperwai (pronounced pie-per-why) gets its power from activated charcoal which absorbs both moisture and odor. Coconut oil makes it easy to swipe on, and its scent comes from essential oils that are gender-neutral. My picky and active hubby loves the formula (and scent) which works better than any formula he’s tried. I’ll next buy their Deodorant Cream, which is the same formula but in a jar because I prefer that method of application.

They also sent along a hand sanitizing gel and bathroom spray in beautiful glass bottles- both winners.

6 years ago @piperwai was featured on Shark Tank and has been a cult-fave ever since. It’s also cruelty-free, vegan, guaranteed, and a black, female-owned business. 💥

We had a Pre-K graduation for Lola today to celebrate her moving on from Pre-K complete with a ceremony, pizza and cake.

Her sisters had ceremonies at their schools and since we’re homeschooling this year, it was up to us to make it special. I think it was a day she won’t forget.

See more in stories! 🎂 🎉 🍕

Last night at around 11pm, I told Mike we needed a #yesday for the girls. Our routine has gotten a little stale and they deserved a day that they could plan and we could all enjoy.

I hung a sign with balloons in the hallway so when they awoke, they’d know right away. It started simple with pancakes and M&M’s for breakfast, but quickly escalated into an overnight camping trip at a place about 20 minutes away.

We packed up and headed out for a relaxing day that was exactly what we needed complete with Grandma meeting us for dinner and s’mores.

I told the girls we were proud of them for not asking to buy anything. These girls just want to camp. 🏕

Story in highlights.

Now that hand sanitizer is as ubiquitous as lip ba

Now that hand sanitizer is as ubiquitous as lip balm in your bag, we’ve all become experts at finding the good ones. Everly is our toughest critic since her hands literally crack and bleed when she uses one that’s too harsh, so we were thrilled to have found @earthbabyluv which is gentle on her hands while keeping her hands germ-free.

Earth Baby’s formulas are made with organic ingredients and are safe for babies older than 2 months. They’re also formulated without dyes, essential oils for scents, preservatives, or other harsh synthetics. With that huge recall over the past year of dozens of hands sanitizers, we feel good about this organic and safe formula.

They also sent over a travel size of their Moisturizing Lotion which is genius. 💥Getting a lotion this balanced is no small feat. It’s a light formula that dissolves into the skin leaving just a slip of softness behind that lasts for hours. At just $8 for the full size, I’ll be stocking up on a few more to keep in the girls’ bathrooms post-shower, and one for mine as well.
