Now, I'm normally the last person to chat about hair, makeup, or fashion. Thanks for Pinterest, I happened upon this no heat curls tutorial that I just had to try. I'm lazy and I hate messing with my hair, so 10 minutes of work for beautiful curls that last? Yep, I'm sold. I even took photos of the process. Yes, this is what I look like first thing in the morning. FUN! The first night I put my hair up right out of the shower. The next morning, it was still soaking wet so I had … [Read more...]
I am all about saving and stretching a buck. As a one income family, it isn't just helpful, it's absolutely necessary. I wouldn't trade staying home with my children for anything in this world, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't take sacrifice. It means saying "no" more than saying "yes."

There were stories of sorrow, of pain and loss, but there were also stories of hope. It was like an emotional roller-coaster ride for me and as I tucked Bryson into bed each night, I gave thanks for things I had previously taken for granted- a home, warm beds, food, all of those things that seem to be a part of … [Read more...]
I think I may be a little odd when it comes to my kid's clothing. I prefer to dress them in comfortable, affordable, and stylish clothing. I don't see the point in spending hundreds of dollars on clothing that they will wipe their noses on, spill their drinks on, and cover in food, mud, or whatever the medium of choice for that particular day happens to be. Add in the fact that they are constantly growing and changing sizes and really- why would you buy expensive clothing? My kids have a … [Read more...]
