Halloween is next week! Have you picked out your kids costumes yet? If you are a procrastinator (or just REALLY busy like myself) you may find yourself scrambling for a costume idea at the last minute. You can make some really fun costumes with some of the everyday items you find around the house. Here are […]
I am a member of Chick Fil A Moms and throughout the year they send me gift cards for different promos they are having. The most recent was the Frosted Lemonade, which by the way is really good! The Chick fil A’s here are always super busy though, which means I am not always in […]
I love this time of year. The trees have become the color of a beautiful sunset and their descending foliage blanket a frost covered ground. It is sweater weather matched with cute boots and a hot apple cider in hand. The creepy Halloween decor is being traded out for potted mums and freshly picked pumpkins. […]
Last month, I shared about inviting my friends into the mess that is my house, specifically, my office. It was a disaster and was getting in the way of getting anything done. Not to mention how much brain space it was taking up because of the chaos! My girlfriend came over, with her sweet teething baby in […]
It’s the Friday before Easter and I am hosting Easter Brunch in 2 days. I somehow always volunteer myself to host the holidays but never seem to be prepared for them. If you’re like me and stressing over how you’re going to throw together a party in 2 days while chasing a 3 year old […]

One of my favorite things to make for the holidays as gifts are home made hot cocoa mixes. This mix is very easy to put together and can last a couple of months, if stored in a secure container, such as a mason jar. This cocoa mix is made with only 5 ingredients and is […]
There is only one first birthday. Just one… My daughter Elle recently turned one. I still don’t quite understand where the time went. In the blink of an eye, 365 days passed and my sleepy, tiny newborn became an almost walking, almost talking, baby girl. I wanted Elle’s first birthday party to be as special […]
I’m blind to the nicked walls, faded paint, and dated furniture in my house. I have three kids, so my eyes are busy spotting the unsigned permission slip, the wet towel on the hardwood floor, the spilled cereal, i.e., the top-ranking mess or I should say task at that moment. But when warmer temps hit, […]
