Ever since my daughter Kate’s Cars-themed 3rd birthday party the demand for the Cars birthday party printables I made for her party has been overwhelming! As much as I’d love to provide you all with copies of the exact documents I used, I’m worried it is in violation of copyright laws even though these printables
I’ve been fighting the gray for seven years. Where some women turn to dyes, I turn to paint. This was a serious job. It was my kitchen. Our original laminate countertops were primarily cream but had a little gray in them. I really wanted our main floor to be shades of brown, so I painted
I was thinking about ending Kate’s monthly posts once she turned 3 years old, but then she goes and says something cute and I can’t help but need to capture it! Case in point: G had left for a work trip out of state but his car was still in the garage because he got
1. Loreal’s Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream I noticed this face cream stuff sitting on the shelves at my local Target and I decided to give it a try (probably because it had the word “magic” in it – score one for marketing). The packages says it has “4 Beautifying Actions in 1: Hydrates, Primes,

June 6: It was such a thrill to see my kitchen featured in another month of The Tile Shop ads – what a surprise! June7: I attended my second Wildtree Freezer Meals party and became officially hooked. You can read more about the concept in this post and there’s still time to join me for
Kate is 3 years old! I’m pretty sure this means I have to stop referring to her as a toddler and start referring to her as… What? She’s no longer a toddler and far from being a tween – oh the angst of these in-between years! I’m not sure what comes next in generalizing child
I first completed the Whole Living Challenge – a 30 day challenge of cutting out processed foods and beverages, sugar, dairy, gluten, caffeine, and alcohol in attempts to detoxify your body – back in 2011. After 30 days of successfully cleansing my body – and my palate – I couldn’t help but notice how differently (and
It always makes me smile to hear myself in Kate. One of “my things” that she’s picked up on is replying “of course” to questions in lieu of “yes.” For example, I’ll ask, “Kate, can you help me carry these things upstairs?” to which she’ll cheerfully reply, “Of course!” It’s really quite cute – and
