Happy Friday, friends! I'm going to take my Five on Friday in a different direction this week by sharing 5 pictures that never made it to Instagram. Straight from the cutting room floor...or something like that. one. If I don't get my shower taken before these two hooligans wake up, they usually end up in our bed while I challenge myself to get ready in the length of one episode of Mickey. Clearly they don't mind the wait too much... two. I just thought Arden looked adorable in her ...
Why I Blog
I'm totally behind on, well, everything this week...and if you look around this little space, you might understand why. The ol' blog has gotten a major facelift...okay, pretty much a full-body lift! I switched platforms from Blogger to Wordpress, which has meant lots of troubleshooting and countless phone calls to my pals at GoDaddy. Sidenote--have you ever talked to their support people? I don't know if it's because I was deliriously tired every time I called, but every one of them totally ...
I’ve Got My Eyes on You, Valentine!
We're less than one month away from Valentine's Day and everything is red, pink, and/or heart shaped around our house. I think it's pretty obvious that I've got a bit of Target Dollar Spot obsession, but I've never mentioned my love for dollar stores. We like to get our party supplies there (gift bags, plates, napkins, balloons, etc) and of course, all the best holiday junk supplies for the kids. For a dollar you can find something festive and fun that your kids will love playing with...and then ...
20 Things About Me
When I started this little ol' blog six years ago, the 5 original readers knew pretty much everything about me. Well now that I've gained about 5 more, I thought it would be fun to share some random facts about myself. You're welcome...or something like that??? 1. Let me start with something shocking: I don't drink coffee. I really want to, but I just don't have a taste for it--even with a ton of creamer. Not to worry though, I'm still getting caffeine. I survived the first year of ...
Hey There, Friday!
Happy Friday to you! We're off to dance class this morning and Arden is beyond excited to wear the Elsa tutu that Gigi got her for Christmas. Hopefully you've got something equally as exciting to look forward to today :) I'm linking up with the ladies from Five on Friday & Oh Hey Friday today... one. Just when I thought I couldn't love Chick-fil-A anymore...did you know they are starting to offer a valet service for moms? They've got us figured out, don't they? "we're ...
One Word for 2016
Today I'm jumping on the blogger bandwagon and sharing my one word for 2016. When I started thinking about this after Christmas, I knew immediately that my word would be joy. The last year taught me that there's a difference between happiness and joy...a huge difference, in fact. Happiness is based completely on circumstances...things working out how I want them to...things that are out of my control. But joy? Joy is my decision...and I can be joyful even in sad ...
