It's been quiet on here, but I can explain. First. Let me begin by sharing what we've been up to lately. Last Friday, I helped with Maxim's party at school. ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Luck o’ the Irish

Fun Friday Favorites: Valentine’s Day stuff and oh…some new tires
I realize how classy (except NOT) the title of this blog post sounded. Valentine's Day stuff. Really? Well, I didn't want to just say decor. Because I'll be sharing about some out-of-this-world Valentine's Day candy that I. can't. stop. eating. And maybe a blouse or two that might be perfect for that Valentine's date you are going on. (For the record, ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Board games, perfume, and Oreo Balls
It's been blustery cold here. Between all of the late starts, early dismissals, and "Snow Day"/no school...it's hard for me to get back into ANY sort of routine. I'm not complaining. I'm just validating why I haven't been consistent on ANYTHING, except for wearing lounge wear or pajamas. And catching up on some of my ...
