One of the joys of having a little girl is dressing her up in cute outfits! When she was born, I knew that we would have a lot of fun dressing her up, and I loved to put cute baby headbands in her hair because she was born with A LOT of hair! I didn't realize how much of a fashion diva she was until recently. Just a few weeks shy of her 2nd birthday, she is pretty demanding when it comes to dressing her. She will not put clothes on that she ...
The Blog
This time, last year
This time last year I was beyond stressed. I had recently lost my job as a teacher and was scouring the internet and newspapers for prospective openings in my field. When people tell you, "Don't worry, it will work out for the better," it is hard to believe them when you are in the moment that torments you. I suppose this is how wisdom is earned - because as I sit here listening to hubby and my little girl demolishing blocks, I have a naive calm ...

Discovery Girls Magazine Review and Giveaway
It is very scary to have a daughter in today's society with all the influences that are out there. The magazines that feature size 00 women and the TV shows that are on TV-Y14 can be pretty scary to a mom of a young girl. I am happy to say that Discovery Girls is a really great influence! The first thing I noticed when I received the magazines is that the tweens look like tweens - not like overdone young girls that are made to ...
10 Tips for making your life easier on the go #officiallatte

Considering she worked during the week - I now realize that cooking 6 out of 7 days is no small feat!When I was about 10, she started working late nights a few days out of the week. She didn't want us to fall into a pattern of unhealthy eating habits and take out - so she would make a few meals on ...
