I have two little fashionistas on my hands and I can almost guarantee they did not get their fashion sense from their mama. I'm a very simple sneakers, jeans, and t-shirt kind of girl. My toddler, on the other hand, will not leave the house or go to sleep without a tutu, regardless of what she is wearing underneath. My infant has a shoe obsession, and she's only 9 months old. Okay, so maybe I contributed just a little bit to her shoe addiction, ...

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 ...
Getting a Great Deal on Children’s Clothing at #CookiesKids
Even before I had kids, I was a total deal-seeker. I couldn't see spending full price on clothing when I knew that stores often had sales and awesome end-of-season clearance deals. Now that I have kids, finding great deals on clothing is even more important than before because kids grow so quick, and it seems that their wardrobe is updated multiple times throughout the year. For the past three years, I have shopped end of season sales for the ...
DIY Valentines Crafts With Martha Stewart
My toddler is such a girlie girl. She loves anything pink and red, and if it has hearts, well, that's an added bonus! This is the first Valentine's Day that she will be able to understand and enjoy, as well as decorate her own cards to take to her classmates and give to family members. Since she only goes to school twice a week, we do a lot of crafts at home on the days she isn't at school and when it is too cold to go out. I love watching her ...
It’s A Potty Training Party!
My nephew is on his way to potty training! With his new little brother due in just a few weeks, my brother and sister in law are ready to get this boy out of diapers! He has a big sister who we thought would have motivated him to potty train sooner, but boys will be boys and at 3 years old, he's been fighting the potty. For the past two years, I hosted a Pull Ups PlayDate party for my toddler and her friends. The first year we invited all her ...
Mia Mariu Mineral Cosmetics {Giveaway!}
My skin has been sensitive from the time I was a kid, and it doesn't seem to have gotten any better. I am very careful about the cosmetics, moisturizers, and cleansers I use on my face because I can break out very easily from using the wrong products. I'm still experimenting with cosmetics because my skin can vary from oily to dry, and some cosmetics that work great for my summer skin, don't fair well for winter skin. I've heard of Mia Mariu ...
BellaVita Phone Wallet for Style on The Go!
Anyone who knows me knows that I pack very light. When it comes to toting things along for the kids, I make sure I have all the necessities, as well as an emergency bag in the car for those unforeseen accidents. For myself, I only bringt the absolute necessities: my phone, credit cards, license, keys, and cash. A lot of my friends are surprised at the sizes of my handbags and usually make the same comment, "that's all you have with ...
Progresso Recipe Starters
There are some days that I am a whiz in the kitchen and I can concoct amazing recipes just by putting together some simple ingredients from my pantry. Then, there are other days that I need some inspiration. Lately, there are more and more days like that since it seems there are not enough hours in the day to do it all and then make dinner. Thankfully there are many "helpers" out there that add some great flavors to your meals, such as Progresso. ...
