I love homemade Christmas tree ornaments. Each one has a special memory and feeling attached to it, especially the ones made by my kids! I teach a weekly preschool class from my home and we are used to a little #HappiMess. I decided to be adventurous during a recent class, and had the kids make homemade […]
ATV Riding through Kualoa Ranch
If you follow me on Instagram then you know I spent the beginning of December in beautiful Hawaii! This was a trip I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl. Visiting the island of Oahu with my husband, kids and parents was simply amazing. Aside from the beautiful beaches and tasty eats, I’m […]
Batch Cooking Tips
As we begin another year, I’d venture to say that many of us have food-related goals. Perhaps we want to eat healthier. Maybe we have a goal to prepare more home-cooked meals, or to get more organized. How about something that combines all three of these things? I know I want to work on planning […]
The N-Strike Elite Modulus ECS-10 Blaster is a Nerf Gun Must-Have
Nerf guns have been on my boys’ Christmas wish list for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I am a tad surprised my oldest is still asking for new Nerf guns, because he has quite the artillery already. These kids sure love a good Nerf war when friends or family come over. I’ll be […]

Season of Giving: Sharing With the Women Who Inspire Me
One of my favorite things about Christmastime is that people everywhere seem to be in the spirit of giving and gratitude. I think that it’s also a great time to reflect on the year and remember the people who have inspired and helped you through it. Some blog sponsors sent me a box of samples featuring some […]

Holiday Gift Card Promotions from P.F. Chang’s
There are two things that I truly do enjoy in this life (among other things), and those are: good food and great deals. If I can pair the two, then something even more magical happens. Because Keith and I enjoy eating out for lunch, and the occasional dinner out with the kids, we love holiday […]
My “Last Shopping Trip Until New Year” Shopping List
Every year, I seem to be out at the stores a day or two before Christmas, getting all of those last minute holiday essentials and home necessities. It always makes me a little sad when I have to do that, because the stores are always so busy that a simple trip to get 2-3 items […]
