At last I had an entire day at home yesterday. It’s been a while, between traveling and driving kids to and fro, since I got to just hang out at the house. Well, truth be told, it wasn’t 100% at home all day. I did have a breakfast date with my youngest son. Every Thursday…

This post contains affiliate links. Have you gotten into the nail trend of putting stickers on? I started buying nail stickers a couple of years ago when my daughter got me into it. But they are pricey, so I got away from it. And I always had some leftover on the sheets that I bought that…
It’s time for another of my exciting “Mom and Me” Disney trips. Next weekend my almost 16 year old son and I will be on our way to Orlando for some one-on-one time. We have been planning and prepping for a couple of months and now it’s almost time to go! On Sunday we went to…

When I was planning all of the book page flowers for my daughter’s wedding, I knew I wanted them to look real. I had a very limited experience with making paper flowers.

Isn’t April a beautiful month?! Here in Texas it’s the last chance to enjoy some cool-ish days before the sweltering heat hits and we are stuck inside with the A/C for 5 months. So I have been outside as much as possible for the past couple of weeks. I like to go out and work, as in clean…
Spring. It’s so gorgeous with all of the baby lambs and wildflowers along the highways. But there are some things I dread every year when the spring starts to….well….spring.
