levenger product review :: carry my world
Levenger was introduced to me last week when they contacted me to share their company with our readers. Looking through Levenger’s site there was so much to chose from and a variety or products that I could totally use. When I saw they had purses I was drawn to them. Even tho I didn’t actually…

a simple craft :: repurposed canvas
We are in the middle of transforming my {almost} three year old’s room into a new Big Girl Room. I wanted this project to be budget friendly, but still oozing fun and spunky-ness…just like her! I tried to use as many things from her old room as I could. This project is one of several…
a simple {real food} recipe :: pumpkin soup {dairy free option}
This is one of the warmest, most inviting soups you will ever taste! Even if you aren’t a pumpkin person I invite you to try this mild yet very flavorful soup. I typically use less stock than what I did for this batch, as I love a thicker soup (especially for the little ones –…

pinterest roundup :: fall favorites
Decorating for fall is almost as exciting for me as Christmas! Something about this time of year. The change of season, schedules, routines, colors, temperature, even flavors…apple cider, pumpkin, cinnamon, etc… It’s just magical. Especially in the midwest where temperatures become cool, crisp, and so comfortable. Now that is late September, I’ve decided it’s time…
