Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
If it ever goes quiet around here chances are I'm probably planning a party...and that's exactly where I have been (I like leaving everything to the last minute). On Saturday the 23rd we celebrated our little Shaney turning TWO! I now understand why parents always see their youngest as their babies. In my eyes I refuse to believe my little guy is growing up, so he will forever be my ... [ Read More ]
Well I asked you guys once before, and I'm doing it again. I need some help picking out a dress for a wedding. I am totally in love with Rent the Runway so this will be my third go around with them, and I'm hoping for another dress success! A few details....the wedding isn't until 3 months from now, but it will be back East so I'm planning ahead because there will be a million other things on ... [ Read More ]
I don't know about you but I definitely have Christmas on the brain these days. I've been working on our holiday cards, have my shopping lists started, and have been planning my annual cookie & ornament swap party. In the spirit of giving, I thought I would put together a little freebie Christmas Bucket List printable for you. I figured I'd post it early for all my fellow eager beavers, ... [ Read More ]
On Monday I posted this Must-Have Monday post and got a lot of requests to share how I am using my new Remington Curling Wand. You asked...and you will receive...the most budget YouTube hair tutorial on this side of the Internet. Please excuse the terrible lighting, the coughing children, and the watermark from my free video software. It is what it is, but it should do the trick. Good luck ... [ Read More ]
Or maybe I will call it "Mind-blown Monday". I feel like I am such a creature of habit, so when I find something new (to me) and exciting, I think it's my duty to share it with everyone! :) This past week I tried four new things that I have never tried before....and yeah, I'm pretty sure I was living under a rock not having these things in my life. The first thing is probably the most DUH of ... [ Read More ]
It's rare that I ever say this...but, surprisingly, this week flew by! So here I am again, linking up with Darci, for another Five on Friday post. Instead of throwing out 5 randoms for you this week, I wanted to share some of my favorite Thanksgiving Pinterest finds with you all. Enjoy! {ONE} We are clean eating this Thanksgiving. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty convinced it's going to ... [ Read More ]
Hey friends...it's been awhile! Can I post a few photos from Halloween or are you too busy decorating your Christmas tree to take a look? :P I'm not going to lie, our exterior Christmas lights went up the morning after Halloween...yup, right over the cobwebs, tombstones, ghosts and giant spiders. Don't worry I'm not insane, we have them hung professionally by a company in our neighborhood and ... [ Read More ]
Linking up with Darci, April, Christina and Natasha for another Five on Friday post today. You should grab a button and link up too! It's always easy to end the week with 5 random things don't you agree? {ONE} I am really honored that one of my favorite Interior Design bloggers and friend, Renee, over at Casa Stephens Interiors, asked me to be part of a new series she is doing called ...

Sorry for the blog silence as of late...things have been quite busy around here. My Mother-in-law flew into town last week and is staying with us until Sunday. We have been having so much fun, but she has also been here to lend a helping hand. As some of you may or may not know I had a minor surgery this past Friday (don't worry I'm fine) and she has been doing so much for me and the boys...I ... [ Read More ]
I DID IT!!!! October 13th 2013 I completed my first half marathon! I look at this photo of myself today and I don't even feel like it's really me in it, or that I was the one who actually ran the race yesterday. It was such an adrenaline filled experience that it's hard to put myself back into the feelings of the day. All I feel now is pain in my legs and a huge feeling of accomplishment, ... [ Read More ]
