I’ve gotten into the bad habit of taking my phone with me when I go to bed. I use it as my clock and alarm clock–and I often miss out on some great sleep because I will “quickly” check Facebook, read an article or respond to a few e-mails when I should be sleeping. This…
I have to admit, I’m not really one for a store bought treat. Every Sunday our church has tables of treats to snack on between our services. I skip the cookies and grab some cheese and crackers. Not because I don’t have a sweet tooth–I have a huge one! But because I’m kind of a…
It happens all too often. I am going out with friends, need to bring my phone, keys and wallet but really don”t want to bring a purse along. Whether I’m heading to a concert or sporting event or I’m traveling and want to stay hands free, I’ve been looking for a way to ditch the…
When my son was an infant, he was prone to ear infections. I’m not sure how many ear infections he had, but it was near 10 one year. And every time we had a rough night, I found myself wondering if he had another ear infection. So I would take him in to the doctor,…
Does your daughter love to build? While Lego sets are a hit at our house, my daughter has recently gotten more into Roominate. I introduced you to Roominate here and, since then, my kids have had a blast using Roominate to make larger structures than Lego allows for–and they can add moving parts! What’s not…
This time of year, I love a good DIY. Whether I’m trimming my tree with homemade ornaments, crafting some personalized wooden gift tags or getting my home Christmased-up with some fun DIY pillow cases and wall art, I’ve found the easiest way to shop for all of my do-it-yourself needs without leaving my house–Darby Smart….

I’ve introduced you to Biscotti and Kate Mack before (here and here) and I have to say, we are still loving the gorgeous boutique clothing!

Winter has arrived here in Michigan. Last weekend, we had our first real snow. Several inches, in fact. We spent all morning outside–making snowmen, sledding and eating apple cider snow cones. And for the first time, my three-year-old kept his mittens on. He didn’t pull them off, they didn’t fall off, they didn’t end up with…
This past weekend, the first real snow landed in Michigan. Of course the kids couldn’t wait to get outside and play. And while cold is not my thing at all, I knew I’d be able to play all morning long and stay warm in my fleece-lined leggings and hat from Plush Apparel. Plush Apparel is…
