Few things scare those of us with a few extra pounds more than shopping. Between hunting for our size on the rack, trying to figure out each brand’s individual sizing chart, and god forbid wanting to find cute, stylish, or dare I say even trendy clothing in our size it often feels impossible. […]
As much as I would love to glue my children to my side, so much of being a parent is preparing our little lovebugs to be able to fly alone in this often crazy and confusing world we live in. This has by far been one of my greatest struggles as a mother and […]
There are all sorts of gizmos that claim to help babies sleep better at night. Many of these expensive bobbles utilize “white noise technology.” While that may sound really fancy, in reality it is simply technology based on the premise that babies sleep better when there is a consistent sound masking other noises. And […]
Early in our relationship I remember asking my husband if he would always love me as much as he did then. Without the slightest bit of hesitation he replied, “How could I not?” Isn’t that how love always starts? Whispered little nothings (which are really everything at the time), hope, promises, and optimism abound. […]
While I was pregnant with my first child, I decided to head to our local Babies R’Us (RIP) to start working on my registry. I was on bed rest (don’t worry I hobbled my way to a wheel chair), this was one of my first outings in weeks, and I was so excited to […]

In this age of technology, we have access to so many photos and images right at our fingertips it is all too easy to forget the vast majority are copyright protected. As a crafter, and especially as a blogger, I have had to educate myself on what images are fair game and which ones […]
I’m not sure how many of you live in Texas, but spring is my favorite time of year. It’s a brief ray of sunshine bookmarked by the yearly ice apocalypse and summer’s hundred degree temps. Sure there are random hail storms, tornado scares, and you never know how to dress with a 30 degree […]
I don’t know about you ladies but I am so over slaving away over hot stoves and ovens ANYTIME we are expecting company. These days I am all about saving time (and what is left of my sanity) by preparing as much as possible days before the actual event. One of my go-to […]
