Every Mom needs a chance to step back and have some girl time. It helps keep us fresh to take on the world of life. That is why my close friends and I make it a priority to get together at a hotel once a year. We were blessed to have an overnight sleepover …

I love all “old fashion” stuff. Even when I was a kid instead of playing house I played “Olden Days”. I would spend hours under the big old oak tree in front of our house pretending I lived in the 1800’s. I think it has something to do with living a simple life that intrigues …

As  a woman I can tell you that I am not alone when I say; my hair means a lot to me. I would have a really hard time not having my hair. Two years ago my daughter and I grew our hair really long because we wanted to cut it for Locks of Love. Locks …

I don’t know about you, but I need a break from chasing the kids all around the house. One handy trick I have found is sitting them at the kitchen table with Homemade Playdough. There are a couple different ways to make Homemade Playdough. You can cook it (like I did in this post) or Non-cooked …

Tori got her KitchenAid Mixer custom designed from Un Amore by Nicole Dinardo. Check some of these designs out (the first one is Tori’s mixer): I …

ArtScraps – St. Paul Now that the bigger kids are in school I am home with my two year old toddler and 5 month old baby. Going to the park is fun, but I really wanted to find something different to do with my little tikes. Where do you go to find out stuff? I …
