I often reflect on the busyness of my family’s schedule…this is the life we have chosen. Do I like being at home? Absolutely! And we do this, but I am an extremely social being, as are my kids; especially the younger two. My husband and I feel very strongly about teaching our children to have...
This is so super simple, but I still thought I was a genius! We don’t eat out too often but when we do, we seem to accrue a plethora of soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, dressing, barbecue sauce, and taco sauce packets! Some of them get tossed, but I like to keep a few on hand...
I have two daughters that love to wear all kinds of fun earrings (and I don’t let my younger one wear dangle earrings yet). Being the DIYer that I am, I thought it would be fun to create our own post earrings. Doing it ourselves was super quick and easy, not to mention it will...
I am always looking for better ways of organizing my house, life, schedule; basically my entire life! One of the things we enjoy doing the most is sharing our home with our family and friends! We have people over often, and are always looking for something or someone we can celebrate just to enjoy our loved...
The last few months for our family have been quite crazy. Between sicknesses and surgeries (both of which brought this Mama down), I can’t seem to get caught up with anything.

This summer was full of all sorts of fun! Lots of time with my family (especially my little munchkins) and friends! There was one small hiccup though. We barely got to go anywhere. That summer vacation that we were looking forward to, not to mention how many friends shared their amazing adventures with us….well, this was...
School has been in session for a couple of weeks now and School Picture Day is coming up soon! Here are a few quick tips on how to dress and style your hair for this special day. Wear a solid color shirt other than white or green. Whites and prints do not photograph well, and green...
Some kids are naturals in front of a camera and love taking school pictures, but others, especially the younger set, may have a few reservations. To help calm your child’s nerves so that they can take their best school picture, here are some school picture day tips and a run down of what they can expect....
Recently my oldest friend (since kindergarten!) had a baby shower for her first baby! I wanted to give her something cute for her little girl and add a special touch to show her how much she means to me.
