FollowWhy I Love A Cozy Home
If you’ve followed along with SLB for any amount of time, you know I mostly post about home decor and DIYs. Have I ever told you why I love a cozy home, though? Sure, aesthetics are great. Yes, I love a good vintage find, and I absolutely want to live […]

FollowSimplifying Life
Hi, Salt & Life readers! My name is Carrie, and I’m so excited to be guest posting today! I’m a twenty-something mama to two little girls, a wife of 7 1/2 years, a pre-med student and a YouTuber! I make videos about simplifying life and I’m here to share a little […]
Toddler Trick or Treat Costumes
It’s November 1st and MIXmas is playing on the radio, but we’re still getting over how much fun last night’s Trick or Treating was! It was the first time for two of our kids to dress up and head out for trick or treating in the neighborhood, and there was a […]
FollowFun Activities for Fall
We share so much on here about our latest projects and favorite recipes, and probably just look like busy bees all the time! There’s so much more to this season than cute outfits, fall scents and good food, though. One of the best things about this season (or any season) is who […]
FollowGo Ahead and Call Me ‘Mom’
I read a blog post the other day on an issue that has not gone unnoticed in the “momming” world. It was titled “Don’t Call Me ‘Mom’ Unless You’re My Kid”. The author goes on to say she is more than just a mom, that motherhood is only a part […]
Dinosaur Themed First Birthday Party
There’s something about dinosaurs that screams roars “little boy.” Before he could say any actual words, our little boy could roar. So it only seemed fitting to use a Dinosaur Theme for his first Birthday party! Our daughter was born in November so an outdoor party is usually out of the […]
French Themed Toddler Birthday Party
Have y’all heard of Sophie the Giraffe? If you have a toddler girl, I’m going to go with probably yes. My daughter has three media loves right now: Curious George (or “Monkey George” as she calls him), Daniel Tiger and Sophie the Giraffe (aside from Frozen, of course). So when […]
FollowIn Minutes: 5 minute Makeup
I am by no means an expert when it comes to makeup. I am however, pretty decent at putting a face together fast. I don’t really like spending a lot of time on makeup and I certainly don’t follow all the “rules.” Maybe you’re like me, or maybe you’re at […]
In Minutes: 5 Minute Hairstyles
So here’s the deal. If you’re a mom, work outside the house or are in school (or any combination thereof), you probably don’t have hours to spend on your hair every morning. You also probably don’t love going out looking like you just woke up and didn’t have time to brush […]
FollowOatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Coffee and cookies… they just go together, right? Or is that cookies and milk… Well, this mama likes coffee with her cookies. Imagine if you will, it’s after dinner, the kiddos are asleep, the cafe lights are on outside, and you and your love are sitting at the patio farm table with warm […]
FollowPotty Training Made Simple
My tendency is usually to over complicate things. Potty training not excluded. I wanted so badly to have my 18 month old in a big girl bed, potty trained, and broken of the paci habit by the time baby brother arrived. Lofty goals for sure! Well one out of three […]
Baby Led Weaning
Baby led weaning! Or, in layman’s terms, “the lazy way to feed your baby.” (Haha!)This is one of the main reasons I chose this approach for introducing solids to both of my children. Is that okay to say? That I’m just a tad lazy? I spent a lot of years […]
DIY Repurposed Toddler Headband
I have a thing for headbands. They can turn a bad hair day into super cute in less than five minutes, and that’s always a win in my book. It doesn’t hurt that they usually come in fun prints, and are made in mini-me size! The first thing I ever […]
