Ever since IKEA opened a store in my backyard, every once in a while I get the hankering to get lost amongst the reasonably priced Swedish furniture and other knick knacks while sipping on some lingonberry juice. From my son’s playroom to my magnetic make-up storage, there are few places in our home […]
I won’t lie I am a falloholic. I LOVE fall and living in Texas I feel the need to fit it ALL in because sometimes we only get a two-week period between the blazing hot of summer and the freezing temperatures of winter. Of course this lends itself to a lot of fall […]
It’s that time of year again when parents rejoice and children solemnly trudge around the house bemoaning their lot in life. Or at least that is what my 6 year old has been doing as he repeatedly asks WHY he has to go back to school. I’ve tried a variety of responses and […]
I’ll be honest I have HORRIBLE handwriting. In school I was that girl who practiced her bubble lettering and swirly calligraphy for hours only for everyone else’s to look a million times better (you know actually legible).

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I was five months pregnant with our youngest son and soaking up the sun in Coronado. We also have a 5 year old so as you can imagine he wanted to go-go-go the entire trip and luckily for us there really is a TON to […]

This is not my normal topic or niche to blog about, however as I scrolled through Instagram this morning I saw one thing that always makes me cringe: A SHAVED Husky So I am breaking from my normal motherhood/ DIY “broadcasting schedule” to provide a hopefully informative PSA about how to keep your husky […]
When we began planning my son’s sixth birthday party he had one request: a Wild Kratts birthday! This has been one of his favorite shows and a staple in our house over the last two years. Personally I prefer that if he is watching a screen, that he is at least learning something! After […]
The details were different, but the end result was always the same. I would be cleaning up the salon shortly before closing, when a woman would walk in hair pulled up or a hat covering her head and ask if I had time to look at her hair. She would sit down in the […]
As I type this it has been a rough morning. We are now 48 hours out from my son’s birthday party and I have spent the majority of my morning tracking down the parent’s of children we haven’t heard from. Normally I wouldn’t go this far, I never have when we’ve thrown parties before. […]
