OMG COFFEE. #backtoschool #giveaway

So, school started this week. That means, waking up at 6:15 started this week. Hip, hip, hoorazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I think the transition back to our school schedule might be harder on me than on the kids. I don’t have any trouble being the bedtime dictator for them, but I have a much […]

The Beauty of Journaling #giveaway

I met Katie at Blissdom this past February, and we bonded over our gluten free lunches. What really stuck out, though, were the “business cards” she was handing out. Forget the “regular” kind, like mine…she was giving everyone handmade, miniature journals in which to record some thoughts and memories of […]

A Sunday Treat: Minted #Giveaway

I’ve got a treat for you today. If you’re like me and love to get mail, love to pick out new stationary and write out a note to send, or spend hours picking out the perfect invitations for the kids’ birthday parties and Christmas cards, you’ve probably swooned over the […]

#bullynomore Twitter Party and Giveaway!

Have you had to deal with bullies? Have your kids had run-ins with bullies at school, or in sports, or have they even bullied someone else? 

I’ve had the chance to read, with my kids, a new children’s book by Dicy McCullough that is written from the unique perspective of the […]

Guesting, Guessing, and Listening. EEP!

I just have a couple of things to let you guys know about, so this’ll be quick. (I’m deep into the first week of the #Iheartomron Omron Fitness Running Challenge, and today was pretty killer. I’m EXHAUSTED, so as soon as I’m done with this? Straight. To. Bed.

First of all, […]

Can You Name That Kindergartner?

Ah, kindergarten. My daughter is in kindergarten now, and I have fond memories of the time I was there, too.

I had my own very unique sense of style. My mom and brothers called me “the gypsy” because when I chose my clothes, I chose long dresses and skirts. The kind […]

The Winter YUCKS #giveaway

My Facebook timeline this winter has been full of YUCK. Sick kids, sick parents, flus that Will. Not. End.

I was sure I was going to get it, too. My girls had a hacking cough for WEEKS, and the oldest girl is still not done with the sneezing and nose-blowing. My […]

Sharing the Love During the Holiday Season

I love sending out holiday cards. I love choosing the picture(s), making the layout just right, choosing the perfect words to tell friends and family that we’re thinking of them and appreciate them.

You all know I absolutely love my new lens that I got for my birthday, so I couldn’t pass […]

Boot Review and #Giveaway!

You may have seen my #kidvacation date night outfit on Instagram last week. On Friday evening, it was only about 90 degrees, and got cooler as the sun went down (obviously).

Normally, the only “shoes” I wear in the summer are flip flops, different colored flip flops, and maybe an embellished […]

Father’s Day Frosty #giveaway

This weekend is Father’s Day, as you all know. I was thinking family movie theater experience #2 (an item on our Summer Bucket List) but we should probably ask Daddy what he wants to do. Regardless of what he decides, we’ll be heading to Wendy’s for a frosty.

Why? Because now […]
