This post contains mention of products provided to me by Avery. All opinions are 100% mine. When I was going through school, I had a gigantic blue-jean three ring binder that zipped on the side. It had embroidered butterflies on the front and I had threaded a length of keychain through the spine to supportRead more
Happy August, y’all! It’s Danielle again from Busy Mom’s Helper, and I’ve got a super-delish recipe to share! This Strawberry Ale Cream Marinated Chicken is a huge hit with my family, especially my Hubby! I’m a big lover of simple and quick recipes, because I have nasty habit of forgetting about dinner until…well…dinnertime! With ourRead more
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Listerine for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I have a huge weakness with “out of sight, out of mind” sort of mentalities. If I don’t have a visual reminder of a task, I’m pretty likely to forget it. (This is why hubby pays the billsRead more
The year is now 3/4 of the way over. Less than 4 months until January! Ugh! Where did the time go? There were so many projects around the house that I’d hoped to have finished by now. How did I get so far behind? I did manage to complete my spice drawer. So thats 1Read more
I’m a firm believer that details are what make a project feel “finished.” So, as we continue to get more and more of our Kitchen renovated, I’m beginning to hone in on the smaller items, like storage and organization. One bit that has been on the list of things to do since we moved inRead more
My kitties are the sweetest and most loving cats I know. So I’m super excited to test as a part of this sponsored post program! All opinions are mine alone. The first thing I did when I moved out and into my own apartment for college was get a cat. We now have three, Antigone (“NayRead more
Happy Monday! We are eeking closer and closer to August. Are you ready? The year will be 3/4 over in no time. I can’t believe it! How was your weekend? I went to a baby shower for my cousin (did you see the butterfly mobile I made?) cleaned house and tried to get caught upRead more
My cousin is having a baby! That means I’m headed to a baby shower. Now, years ago I shot myself in the foot when I started making hand-made gifts. I made these sweet baby clothes Parfaits for one cousin, This awesome personalized pyrex for a wedding, This neato rustic sign for another wedding, Nail polishRead more
Well hello there!!! It has been a while, I know. I had a wonderful vacation with hubby. The long and short of it: We drove the beetle to the East coast and the ocean. Once in New York we realized the engine block (heads and exhaust valves) were deformed and we had to contact their localRead more
Alright, I know. I’ve been going maybe a little overboard with all my makeup/DIY beauty products lately. I mean, it started with DIY Moisturizer, DIY Mineral Makeup, and then Eyeshadow, and then Nail Polish. But here’s the thing: after I bought the supplies for the Makeup, the rest was just gravy. I mean, I don’t haveRead more
We love the Food Network in our house. When my kids are hitting me up for TV time, they have started asking if they can watch Chopped or Cutthroat Kitchen rather than Disney Channel shows. {Which I have to say is fine with me — some of those Disney shows are just plain creepy.} OneRead more
Sometimes my desire for a beautiful home wars with my desire to be frugal. I love design. I love all the HGTV and Style channel shows with beautiful furniture and perfect decor. But I don’t love the idea of spending close to $400 on a swag lamp. It all started when hubby and I sawRead more
