My husband and I debated through the holidays over whether or not we were going to get a pet kitten for my toddler. She is beyond cat obsessed and we thought it would be a great way to start teaching her about responsibility. There were just a few problems with our plan. One, with a new baby in the family, a kitten would just add to the workload, needing to be fed, taking to the vet, and cared for. Two, the litter box. I naturally assumed that my ...
For the Home
Making the Playroom a Little Cozier With a Mohawk Rug (Giveaway!)
My husband wasn't too thrilled when I asked him to change the foyer from an office to a playroom. He wasn't too happy when I started dismantling the desk, nor was he happy when the office supplies seemed to make their way into the closet to make room for toys. It was time to give the girls their own space to play and reclaim my living room. Our foyer is the size of a bedroom, but is not closed off in a way that would make it a suitable bedroom ...
A Fresh Start With #CascadeComplete Pacs!
I want a dishwasher. Everyone that walks into my home hears the same story, and even worse, when I am entertaining a lot of people, they hear my complaints about hand washing EVERYTHING. Then I have to listen to their less than comforting responses: dishwashers aren't that great, I have to wash everything twice. They leave a film behind. Liars. You are all liars. Because when I go to my brother's house, his dishes are spotless. There is no film ...

Martha Stewart Helps Dress Up The Holidays!
Tis the season for baking! I bake all year long, but there is something so magical about baking holiday cookies with my toddler that makes the season a little warmer and sweeter. Greek holiday cookies are the norm around here, but since my toddler loves festive colors and fun characters, we use a standard butter cookie recipe that is suitable for cookie cutters. We have a huge assortment of cookie cutters and my toddler didn't want to stick to ...
Gorgeous Christmas Centerpieces by Teleflora
Christmas is less than a week away and if you haven't thought about your centerpiece for your big dinner, then it's time to start! Last month, I had a beautiful autumn arrangement for Thanksgiving on my table, and I received many compliments. I couldn't take any credit- it was the folks over at Teleflora that created this autumn centerpiece. I ordered my bouquet a few days before I needed delivery, which was the day before Thanksgiving. I figured ...
Raise Your Hand if You Like Cleaning!
You know those people that state, "I don't mind cleaning, I actually like it" or "cleaning relaxes me." Yeah, I'm not one of those people. I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to clean, and when I do happen to have a free minute, cleaning is not at the top of my "want to do" list. Don't get me wrong. I love a spotless house, and before kids, my house was pretty close to immaculate. Then my tornado of a child came along and I slowly ...
