Tech Gifts for Him
Another holiday is quickly approaching! Can you believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner? The first few weeks of 2018 are absolutely flying by! Some couples go all out for Valentine's Day and others keep it pretty quiet. My husband and I fall into the keeping it low key category. No matter how you celebrate the holiday I thought it would be a fun idea to do a post about some awesome techy gifts to get the special guy in your life. Here are my top 5 suggestions. Note:
Living the #MomLife

A Holiday Recap
This is my first post (of many) in 2018! Happy New Year everyone! I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday season surrounded by loved ones! Our family had a wonderful and quiet Christmas filled with love, cuddles, and of course, presents! New Year's eve was very uneventful which is just the way we like it. Going out to a crowded bar and spending money just isn't our cup of tea. We like to snuggle up on the couch at home and ring in the new year just the two of us. I
