If you haven’t met Bella Donna yet, let me give you a little hint…she’s just your average girl going…
Authentic Berber rugs are traditional Moroccan rugs handwoven from sheered wool by the Berber Tribes. There are forty-five Berber Tribes in Morocco today, each with unique designs and weaving styles. Two commonalities across tribes are simplicity of design and richness of color. These rugs are recognizable by natural white and ivory tones with naturally dyed…
I take a crazy number of videos and photos. Since I can’t put my kids in a bottle and stop time, I love to capture our daily moments in digital footage. In the past few years I have been turning the extra special days into video collages. I have a playlist for each month of the year on…
We are so lucky here in Michigan. While our winters might be a turn-off for some people, we have a pretty gorgeous fall full of apples, pumpkins and other amazing fall crops. On a recent trip to the apple orchard, we came home with tons of fabulous apples. And while we’ll eat most of them…
Cute costumes are a must when it comes to Halloween. I don’t like the gore, the darkness, the revealing nature of many costumes…and on and on. Being that I’m raising four girls, I try to keep things as modest and cute as long as possible. I mean, pretty soon they will be picking their own…

When I think back about my childhood, I vividly remember playing some things that just aren’t around anymore. Cops and robbers? Yep, my brother and I would play that all the time. My kids would have no idea what they were supposed to do if I told them to play “cops and robbers”! Atari? Social…
I just love when I am out and about and I see a little on wearing something personalized and unique. It truly makes a statement and stands out. Chances are no one else has anything like it. Came across this fun shop called hi little one. They have fun and unique styles that are sure…
Please tell me that I am not the only one who is partially fascinated, partially motivated, and partially chastised by those online voices, gurus, articles, and lifestyle movements that pop up in my newsfeed on a daily basis. You know, the ones where they tell you the many ways to CHANGE YOUR LIFE NOW in…
Having friends is cool. Having friends who DO cool things is even better because we can brag on them and share their coolness. THAT is what I’m doing today. Not only is what I’m sharing “cool”, but it’s filling a ‘want’ for many women while helping others. My friend Carly over at Thirty Something Fashion…
Sometimes I forget how easy we have it when shopping for our kids. They are always ready and willing to make a “Wish List” for whatever holiday or occasion is coming up or at least hint at about a hundred things they’d absolutely love or just couldn’t possibly live without! Then there’s everyone else. There’s…
