As many of you might have picked up on, Hubby and I are expecting our first child. In fact, as I write this I am 4 days past my due date. The journey we’ve embarked on from a husband and wife to a father and mother has been an amazing one. There have been plentyRead more
This Tested Tuesday I have had the opportunity to check out the new Munchkin LATCH line of products. This is a paid sponsored post, but I promise all the feedback is my own! From the moment we decided to try for a baby, hubby and I had a lot of decisions to make. Would we useRead more
I am addicted to necklaces. Seriously. I have so many necklaces that you would think I couldn’t possibly wear them all. But I do! I love to make different color combos, different styles and designs for all the seasons. I have the perfect necklace for every outfit. But don’t worry! I’m not breaking the bank. ;D IRead more
One of my favorite signs of spring is the sudden appearance of birds. One day there is nothing, not a perfectly formed beak to be found… and the next day they flock around all my favorite neighborhood stores. Bright plumage lining all of the candy aisles. Of course I’m not talking about real birds. Oh no.Read more
It took me years to start drinking coffee. I’m not a huge caffeine junky, as I don’t drink soda either, and it just never came up. Then I was introduced to the Burger King Mocha Joe in my college years. It was something like 1/2 coffee, 1/2 liquid vanilla shake mix and 3 pumps ofRead more
Sometimes I just lose track of my spending.

There are literally hundreds of tutorials out there for using an ink jet printer to transfer images and text onto fabric. And I swear, I’ve tried them all. Many of them are based on the premise of using freezer/wax paper through the printer so that the ink beads up and then can be transferred toRead more
Candle making for me is right next to soap making. There is artisan level soap and candle making that involves a lot of equipment, investing in scents, colors, space etc. And then there is quick-and-dirty soap and candle making which is far more accessible to people like me.

Finishing salts are one of those things that I could have gone my whole life without ever knowing about. I mean, salt is salt right? Wrong. Sea salt is different than Kosher salt which is different than Iodized Table salt. Sea salt tends to taste saltier, which allows for more sparing use. Additionally, Sea saltRead more
Bath time has become an amazing restorative exercise for me lately. I lounge away in the hot water and feel truly warm for the first time all day. I pamper myself with bubble bath, my 1940’s vintage lady Gillette razor, and usually some music or candles. So, when I ran out of body wash I figuredRead more
So, I like Minecraft. You might has guessed as much after my DIY Creeper Peeps and Minecraft World Building Marshmallows. So it may not come as a surprise to you that one of our ideas for Halloween this year is to dress up like Steve (the player character) and a Creeper! So, I set to workRead more
I’m shocked and excited to admit that my itty-bitty-baby sister started High School last week. Can you imagine!? This teeny little thing that was always SO YOUNG compared to me is now a freshman. Ya’ll don’t even know how old that makes me feel. But, Kristy is an awesome young teen and she has beenRead more
