I was introduced to Naturalizer personally about 2 years ago. Prior to that, I didn’t think much of the brand as I had preconceived notions about the it. Boy oh BOY was I WRONG! Since I was proved wrong, every pair of shoes I have either received or purchased that’s from Naturalizer, has become a…
What is the first thing you do when you get to Alaska? Take a deep, full breath. One of those revitalizing breaths that reaches to your toes, and as you exhale, push out all the smog, chemicals and impurities you’ve been breathing for years.

I don’t live in a pinterest-perfect house. I never will. Even once the kids are grown and gone, I can’t imagine that I’ll ever be able to have everything exactly as it should be all the time. It’s just not who I am. But even if it’s not photo-ready all the time, I still love…
Let’s get back to the basics! Over one hundred fifty years ago, utensils would have been made from what? Wood! I can just picture mommies ladling out the soup that had been cooking over the hearth all day and serving it to their families using a hand-whittled wooden ladle, and unless they had the money…
*i received a gift card that i used to cover a portion of the purchases mentioned in this post. however, i spent my own money on some of the items because i love it all so much!* This summer I have been running, running and running some more. And I’m not talking about working out!…
We all know a superhero or two. Dads, grandpas, a favorite teacher or mentor. Mine is the father of my three kids. He is always there when we need him, steps in to do the right thing even when it is hard, and teaches our kids how to grow up to be superheroes too. I…
