Hey mamas!  I'm starting a new theme of posts on fashion and beauty.  I am by no means an expert in either of these categories, but I am so in love with finding new and fun fashion and beauty...

Well, the holiday season is in full swing, which means wonderful music, decorations, and events… and also extra responsibilities, events, and stress.  Hopefully your December is trending more towards the wonderful-ness than the stressfulness!   If you’re like me, and some...

It's that time of year when between family, work, and kid's activities, it seems there's a holiday party at least every weekend.  As a mom, I don't always have the hours that I would like to get all dolled...

Hi ladies! We're mixing it up on Instagram this month and instead of features, today I'm sharing a fun DIY Instagram Ornament project that would make GREAT gifts or stocking stuffers for your family this holiday! What you’ll need: Rectangle...

This weekend, I was working on a list of holiday gifts for people close to us and realized that I have so many people who have made a difference in my children's lives. There's my daughter's preschool teacher, the...

  This is a strange recipe, I know. Its also strange to see in the spread of food for the holidays. But, in our family, it is not a holiday meal without a big plop of "Pink Stuff" on your...

Welcome to my closet…lots of neutral colors.  I often accent with colorful pieces of jewelry, but I happen to have several black and white shirts (much to my fashionable sister’s chagrin). A few weeks ago, I was looking at two...

It's mid Novemeber, Halloween past a couple weeks ago (if you still have candy laying around that you are wanting to get rid of, check out Nicole's post) , and Thanksgiving is next week. So, I guess the answer...

I actually have that very statement posted on my large chalkboard you see when you enter our home.  I saw it somewhere, probably on Pinterest, and had to snag it for myself.  Gotta love Pinterest. A couple of my kids...

I have been putting off decorating for fall this whole month. It just doesn’t feel right to be turning our home into a cozy autumn haven while I’m wearing a tank top and drinking ice tea. Where’s my scarf,...

  If you are a mama with a little girl, you probably attempt (and may succeed) in doing your daughters hair. I personally did not put many head bands or bows in my 1st daughters hair when she was a...

When it comes to dressing myself and my toddler son, I seldom pay full price. I am extremely frugal when it comes to this area, to the point where I am almost embarrassed to share this post with you...

  One activity that my kids love to do is playdough.  I, too, remember being at preschool as a young child and one of my favorite things was making and playing with peanut butter playdough. You get to make it, play...

The ultimate question that is asked every day, by not only your spouse, by your kids, and sometimes 3 times a day! I struggle nightly, weekly, and sometime daily with new meal plans. I cannot be the only woman...

Over the summer I started making these smoothies when I noticed my son started eating everything but his veggies. I want to make sure he eats well, and I while I will always offer veggies with meals, I also...

One of the first big milestones in a baby's life is getting to try real food.  As a parent, there are a few options to consider with baby food, with the main one being:  Do you buy or make...

As the hot, hot, HOT Phoenix summer trudges on, we all can use some inspiration in the kitchen… especially when we’re busy with our wonderful kiddos or we don’t feel like standing over a hot stove.  Here are a...

This past year I have become more aware of how many chemicals fill our foods, our skin care products, and our cleaning products. I haven’t purged our house and lives of everything, but slowly I am trying to trade...

      No, this post isn't about pie. (Though pie sounds so amazing right now! Yum!) I love all things simple when it comes to cooking/baking. With these 100 degree temperatures in Arizona I hate turning my oven on if I...
