The other day I was going through an old box that got relocated to my garage from my parent’s attic and I found buried treasure! Okay, not actual buried treasure (because then I’d be in the Bahamas right now), but I did find a ton of my old favorite VHS movies. It got me […]
When I found out my family planned on meeting in Hawaii for my son’s first Christmas, I was beyond excited. I was a single mom at the time and I could think of far worse ways to spend my time than listening to waves crash on a not too distant shore. Plus, I couldn’t […]
I don’t know about you ladies, but other than truly enjoying crafting one of the reasons I go crazy over DIY is to save money. For enough money you can make your home look however you want, you can have custom blankets sewn and hire an interior decorator to do up your nursery. But […]

Okay put down the pitchforks ladies! I am not attacking you or your way of life, in fact I’m kind of envious of you. I wish I knew what it was like to be able to produce enough milk to make the American Dairy Association jealous, I wish I knew what it was like for […]
