Polka Dot Wooden Beads Necklace
Polka dots are one of my favorite trends. I hope that they don’t go anywhere and that they are cool and stylish for a long time. I just love them! I love them so much that I wanted to make a fun necklace that was polka dot. And so I did. It was so easy…
Rose Trim Necklace
Green is my favorite color. I love it! I especially love bright greens. One day I realized that I didn’t have a green necklace. Since I had a baby recently, my clothes aren’t fitting great still. So fun and bright necklaces are what help me to dress up and feel a little bit better about…
My Evening Dress
Fall is coming and the cooler weather is starting to come. It’s time to start thinking about packing away our shorts and skirts (sniff sniff) and start bringing out our pants and long dresses. I actually love dresses. I especially loved them when I was pregnant, so nice to not have anything tight around my…

Motivate Me Monday #188
Hello everyone!! So glad that you are here today! This past weekend was our 10th wedding anniversary! We drove 5 hours (one way) for a babysitter, but it was totally worth it! We spent the weekend at my in-laws house, went on date and had a great weekend! It was so nice to have a…
Family Time Capsule
Today is our 10 year anniversary!!! To celebrate we made a family time capsule! In these past 10 years, my husband and I have had quite the adventures! 5 kids, 4 cities, 4 states, 6 homes, 12 jobs, and countless memories together. It’s hard to believe that I have been married for 10 years. It’s…
PBS Parents eBook GIVEAWAY

Stencil Warehouse
This post is written in behalf of Stencil Warehouse, all opinions are 100% my own. Stencils are huge right now in home decor. It’s a big trend and I love it! I’ve seen several people have a stenciled wall, or used a stencil for pillows or side tables. There are some many things you can…
Magnetic Board
I have had this magnetic board for a really long time. I think that I have painted it at least three different times to match my décor. In my family room, I wanted to go with vines/leaves, so I wanted to put them on the board. I really like how it turned out (even if…
Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes
These cupcakes are amazing!! My mom made them growing up and I loved them! I made them for my husband’s birthday and still loved them. I definitely ate a few too many, that’s for sure. They are yummy with frosting or without. My kids preferred them with the frosting, I like them better without. This…
Motivate Me Monday #187
School starts today!!! And I am really hoping that my life won’t be as crazy and I can actually get things done around my house. I will only have 3 kids at home instead of 5 and we will have a routine again, so excited about that. But on the other hand, I’m going to…
Vinyl Decorated Tumblers {No Cutter Needed}

Shoe Box Animals {Kids Craft}
Last weekend we went school shopping for the kids. We hit a really good shoe sale that was BOGO 1/2 off and then $5 off any clearance shoes. I had a blast! I love getting a good deal on shoes because I love shoes. We ended up buying 11 pairs of shoes (3 for me!). …
Masking Tape Race Track
It is getting to the end of summer and my kids are really starting to get bored. They like to play outside but end up turning on the water and making a huge mess with mud, so I don’t let them go out unsupervised. They are running out of things to do that actually entertain…

Hi everyone! I am so glad that you all came to link up! One week from today my kids start school! I can’t believe it’s already that time. They are pretty excited about it, hopefully once it starts they will still be exciting. For the first time in my life, I am suffering from allergies….
Minion Twinkies
This summer has been great for the movies! We have seen a couple and hope to see more. My kids are FINALLY old enough that we all can go to the movie without one of us having to take a kid out in the hallway. Next year may not be the same since my baby…
