We are less than two weeks in to Back to School Season and the after school activities are in full swing. Cheerleading (Oh yes, she came home with a Cheer Application!), homework, and school projects have already begun to consume our afternoons. As much as we love Summer, we love Back to School as well, … Read more
I love lip gloss. Like a lot. If you look in my bathroom drawer you will find more lip gloss than any other item. I like the way it feels, I like that I can use it on its own or over a darker color and I love all the colors! Unfortunately my pocket book doesn’t like to … Read more
Last month Walmart let me know about some new EXCLUSIVE Hello Kitty room products that were coming out and asked if Charlotte would like to showcase them to you all. To be honest, I wasn’t exactly sure what Charlotte would say. Like most little girls she loves Hello Kitty (and call things Kitty and Cat) but … Read more
Having just moved we have stuff EVERYWHERE. We have cleaned out a lot but when you are unpacking boxes and trying to put everything in a new place, it can be overwhelming – and expensive. So a few weeks ago walking through Target I noticed little plastic baskets (that were just over $3 a piece) … Read more
About 5 minutes ago one of my very good blogger friends shared that a family member of hers was allegedly sent to in school suspension for saying ‘Bless You’ in a high school class today. Bless you. As in someone sneezed and she said “Bless You.” High School Sr Kendra Turner Did this seriously just happen … Read more
Rocky Mountain River Race Waterslide Review As a work at home/stay at home mom, keeping the kids busy all summer is a challenge. Even when the kids are lucky enough to have an awesome sitter, they are outdoor kids and we need lots and lots of outdoor ideas. Sadly the one we had got RIPPED … Read more
On June 13th, 2014 we moved into a new house. Its something we have talked about and dreamed about for a long time – I mean who doesn’t love flipping through Zillow or Trulia and checking out everyone elses stuff. What we didn’t expect was to fall in love with a property that was perfect … Read more
Around here we are always moving, creating, playing and getting dirty. While I try to share the fun super easy 5 minute ideas like this shaving cream and outdoor plastic fun, and the elaborate tutu bow-holder stuff, the reality is that my daughter, whom is 9, is probably 100x more creative than I am. She … Read more
Now that its getting closer to August, going back to school is on the brain. Before we moved, Charlotte would have been going back to elementary school as the grades run from K-5th, but in our new city, she is now out of elementary and on her way to Intermediate, which is 4th-6th. Technically my … Read more
2 year olds and open flame don’t really mix, but I have had the ingredients (fixins…should I be super Southern and say fixins here?) on the counter for at least 3 weeks and the kids are anxious. Not to mention that somehow my big box of Hershey bars have dwindled down to like…2. I guess … Read more
For the past 2 weeks I have had the makings for S’mores sitting on my counter. I keep telling myself I am going to buy a fire pit and we are all gonna sit outside and make them the old fashioned way, but I just haven’t. Yesterday, inspired by the rapidly depleting Hershey bars on … Read more
This summer has been the summer of getting to know my kids all over again. Its been so refreshing with Charlotte home and having a child of 9 makes it easy to take Phoenyx out, play games, do arts and crafts, because she is like a mini adult and its wonderful. So lately under her … Read more
Tomorrow is my husbands 35th birthday. I always get happy when his birthdays get close because for that one month that separates us our birth dates, I have to hear about how I am “two years” older than him. No matter how much “younger” he is then I am (which my daughter finds weird), he … Read more
This weekend when Charlotte and I were out she wanted to buy some earrings. We recently discovered her ears are still pierced. Both of us thought they had closed up due to an infection she had gotten 4 years ago..turns out, nope. Of course now she wants earrings of all shapes and sizes. So like … Read more
Friday night we finally planted our indoor herbs and created our inside living spice and herb garden to help with fresh cooking! But I have to tell you that I hate these little informative spikes that go into planters. Yes, they do serve an important purpose but they are dirty and ugly. So a quick … Read more
