My boys ask for special desserts on almost every holiday so Halloween is obviously no different. It was an extra busy day getting ready to take the whole crew trick-or-treating so I went with my upgraded rice krispie treat recipe with Oreos and Halloween sprinkles mixed in…
I wanted to share our daily routine that’s been working for us lately, among all the other things happening at the Shaughnessy house. People ask me “how it works” with twins and while we totally fly by the seat of our pants, we’re all about routine over here. Same concept applies to one, two or five babies, if you ask me…
If you don’t already follow Chrissy on Instagram, you need to get on board. She’s one of my favorites and this summer I saw her story making stuffed shells…they looked unreal. I knew I had to give the recipe a try…
It’s October 1st so we’re gearing up for all things Halloween, sort of. Since we’re not sure about trick-or-treating and all the fun social stuff, for now we’re going all in some spooky fun at home. While Halloween isn’t always a gift-giving holiday, for some reason my kids usually get a few special books every Halloween…
These are some of my go-to pieces that are cute, comfy, casual…and don’t scream ‘quarantined mom of four.’ PS no judgment here, if you are in yoga pants and a hoodie every day, I respect that. I would 100% choose that for myself if I didn’t have to join any Zoom calls lol…
Beyond what we read about online, we also stocked up on some new baby gear to help keep them occupied. Especially with four kiddos running around it’s hard to get that one-on-one interaction with a single baby, let alone two. This time around, we’ve already noticed a few special toys have become playtime favorites for the twins…
Really though, six seems old, right? He’s getting tall, wearing huge shoes, can count to 100, really crushing it at life from what I can tell. Especially starting kindergarten, it seems like a milestone birthday and one that we wanted to still celebrate like always, even though COVID wasn’t going to let us throw our usual Shaughnessy-style party with friends and family…
Especially during fall, I want to cozy up with some red wine, a ginormous comfy sweater and relax like it’s my job…if only, am I right? These are a few of my favorites and I’m hoping they’ll get you ready for all the fall things…
The first official day of school came and went. We still did all the standard first-day pictures, ate a special breakfast, took a final inventory of all our important kindergarten supplies, and logged in to Google Classroom without a hitch…
Colin and I were both completely ready to be somewhere beyond our house so we hunkered down and decided to go to Door County, our annual summer trip. Kids needed it, we needed it, and after all, it was tradition! I’ll spare you the long-winded day-by-day details but the moral of the story…
