The World is a Playground

I'm so looking forward to spring weather and all that comes with it - open windows, sunshine, flowers blooming, iced tea, popsicles. Plus spring is not TOO hot, because summer weather can make me irritable. 

Did you know you should change your skincare and makeup routine when the weather changes? Start using lighter moisturizers, wear SPF (you really should all year, but most people don't), and use lighter makeup products. 

I've stopped using my night cream since I was finding it too heavy as our evenings have been warming up. I also switched from my normal Skin Twin foundation to the Dew Skin, which is a tinted moisturizer with SPF. It feels so much lighter on my skin and I love that I can head outside with Emma and know I have sun protection on my face. 

Spring is here. But not really. We got dumped on with snow again a couple of days ago. Our world looked like a snow globe all day. I think Emma was the only one thrilled about this turn of events in our household. Oh, and I guess the dog too. 

Do you use whatever bar of soap you have in your shower or near your bathroom sink to wash your face? 

There's only a couple of days left of 2020. What a year. It feels like this past year was multiple years long. Does that make sense? I can't say the entire year was bad or a crap show because we welcomed Lily into the world back in July. She's been the highlight of the year - she's happy and giggly and so freaking snuggly. 

But I'm excited and interested to see what 2021 holds...

The last Gift Guide! Today I'm sharing ideas for babies and kids - age 3 months to 3 years approximately. I find children's and babies' toys hard because the suggested age isn't the most accurate. But the suggestions I have on my Gift Guide have worked wonderfully for my 2 children and for kids I've bought them for.
