Navigating Wills, Guardians, and Trusts
We are a traveling family. We love to get on an airplane and see other cities, whether they be domestic or international. Most of the time we take our kids on our adventures, but sometimes it’s just me and my husband. While quality, kid-free time is essential to any marriage, during our away time, there’s often a *tingling* in the back of my mind — that elusive, “WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO US AND WE DON’T HAVE WILLS?!” question. And this question might happen even if you don’t travel by air.

Receiving Gifts is my Love Language but often leaves me Disappointed - Memphis Mom Collective
Well, that title automatically makes me sound like a snob and a greedy little you-know-what. But here’s the thing. I LOVE getting gifts. Maybe it’s the only-child in me. Or maybe it’s just that I feel seen when someone takes the time to find something that’s “me.” I’m also an enneagram 3, and I like compliments. Gifts are totally like physical compliments. Like, wow, I saw how busy you were yesterday being a great mom, here’s a coffee as a reward.
MEMPHIS STAYCATION : The Rambler, Boutique Apartment Hotel
A huge thanks to The Rambler for the amazing hospitality and opportunity to experience this beautiful and unique space.

Please adhere to all local, state, and national CDC recommendations for health as it pertains to your family. This post was simply written to provide some general tips & tricks to help kids & their wellbeing. I’m probably jinxing myself as I type this, but I have five kids and they haven’t had a sick day in the last 3 years.
Ear Infections Are for the Birds : A Story about Urgent Care
Urgent Care for Children wants all of Memphis to know just how amazing they are. Ironically, the story below is totally true and 100% my own opinion! Did you know my kids are rarely sick? I’m totally humble-bragging right now, because they haven’t missed a day of school due to sickness in years. Like we’re talking 2016 or something. I do a lot of what I think are immune-boosting ideas for my family, although I don’t know if these tactics actually work or if the kids are just naturally healthy.
15 Reasons Why my 15 yo Doesn't Have her own Smartphone (yet)
When a teen (or tween) gets their own personal smartphone is a hot topic amongst the parenting crowd. Most of us have probably heard of the “wait until 8th” campaign that encourages parents to not buy or give their kids cellular devices until 8th grade. But we’ve taken this even further. Our 15 yo daughter, who has entered her sophomore year at a local public high school, still does not own her own cell phone.
MEMPHIS STAYCATION : Caption by Hyatt Beale Street
__________________________ Sometimes world-wide chain hotels get a bad rap for being expensive, impersonal, and just blah. Well, good thing that with the newest Caption by Hyatt this is furthest from the truth. Nestled next to their sister hotel, Hyatt Centric Beale St, Caption by Hyatt Beale Street is a unique, trendy hotel like none other in Memphis.
GO! SEE! EXPLORE! : Overton Park Shell
I think most people who’ve been around Memphis for the last few decades won’t stop saying “Levitt Shell” when referring to this iconic location, but last Spring it was officially renamed The Overton Park Shell. The history of this outdoor amphitheater is fascinating and a “MUST EXPERIENCE” if you’re new to the city or just passing through.
Friday Favorites by Lori {Carpool Edition}
Well, we blinked and summer is over. Hi ho, hi ho, it’s back to school we go. And back to school means back in the car. So much riding in the car. Carpool in the morning, carpool in the afternoon. But here’s a few of my favorites that I either do or enjoy while waiting for my beautiful children to enter the car after school: B-FLAT Belly Firming Cream Yeah yeah, I know, there’s so many posts about loving your body. blah blah. But I’ve been a size 6, flat stomached person almost my entire life.
"Do you own a gun?" and Other Awkward Questions You Should Ask
Growing up in Western PA, it was pretty common knowledge that most families owned some sort of gun. Although my dad was not an avid hunter, he had rifles and shotguns and as a child, I knew where they were kept. (Don’t worry, my dad stored his guns correctly.) I had a friend whose dad was a policeman, and it was a common sight to see him cleaning his service pistol while I was over for a playdate. It’s safe to say, all my northern friends and family own guns. In fact, their kids all own guns.
