This weekend was a busy one. We had a dance competition with Legacy Dance for my 10 and 6 year old daughters. It was a long one, but a very fun one. My girls learned, watched, studied and had a wonderful time! Out of the 9 dances that they did, combined, they received three 1st places,…
I can’t believe that our little baby girl will be starting to eat solids in the next few weeks! It seems like we were just bringing her home from the hospital a few weeks ago. I thought time flew by with our first, but it seems to have gone even faster with our second. I think…
Several years ago I gave up eating my typical breakfast of cereal and started drinking my breakfast–fruits, veggies and seeds all blended into a smoothie. I love how I feel after starting my day with so many nutrients–but I don’t love constantly cleaning out my blender–or, worse, waking up my kids from the noise. I…
Spring is finally here! While I love wearing boots in the fall and winter, I’m always so excited to shed the heavy boots and wear some cute spring and summer shoes! But my biggest issue with cute shoes is that sometimes I feel like I have to give up comfort for fashion. And, in all…
When the opportunity came up for me to try out the Ravensburger Smartscope I was pretty excited. As a parent I always want to get my kids more engaged with anything science related that I can, especially if it excites them. As a homeschooling parent I have long been on the lookout for an affordable…
Remember back in the fall when I introduced Ja-Vie to you all? Well, I’m still LOVING the comfiest leopard flats I have ever worn! Heck, I just wore them last week. This week I have been sporting some new flats, same company…different design. Ja-Vie just released all new spring fashions, and that’s what I wanted to…
With Spring Break just behind us, it’s time to set our sights on those Summer Vacation destinations! I know, I know…we still have quite a few weeks before Summer Break even gets here but a girl can dream {and plan}, right? Whether your Summer Break plans have you traveling just up the road for a…
What is it about when you are little and you name your stuffed animals and things? Kids love to do it. So, of course, I turned to my kids and asked them to name the Snackimals Lion from Barbara’s. We had several names picked out, such as Leo and Lucy. They finally chose Ollie. What…
It’s 2016, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s very likely you have heard of Jamberry nails by now. I’ve been wearing them for a few years. I’ve perfected my application technique by using a hot rice bag to adhere them to my nails. I can afford and adore my…
I received complimentary product from Orvis for this review and had some fun styling the items I received! Spring is here, we just need to notify the weather. I had a chance to check out the women’s fashion section on Orvis and to say I’m happy with what I found, is an understatement. While I want warm,…
I can’t believe I am even THINKING about spring as we have snow here in Michigan. Yes…NOW!! Seriously, you guys. I have had enough of the snow. I’m thankful we didn’t go anywhere for spring break this year because I would have HATED coming home to this madness. Are you kidding me!!! The silver lining…
I love carbs! They are the hardest thing for me to try to cut back on when I am trying to lose a little extra weight. Pastas, breads, and just about any other carb you can think of are my favorites. I’ve learned to find ways to lower my carb intake rather than get rid of them…
