We came across this inflatable snow family as we were leaving our friends’ home. I’m always touched when people decorate the outside of their homes for the holidays because I feel like they are presenting me with a gift even though they don’t know me at all. I appreciate it so much. I’ve been brimming […]

What You Need to Know About Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in San Francisco
This post was sponsored by Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Last year, my husband was in the kitchen chopping veggies for Thanksgiving dinner when I heard something drop followed by a series of pained expletives from him. Turns out […]
Tulip Bulbs
Tulip bulbs in da house about to get planted. Perks of being married to a gardener: I plant nothing, but I reap what he sows. RELATED: Planting Carrots in Our Backyard I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography hop that lets you share your […]
Frida Kahlo Has Wings, but They’re on Maxi Pads
I count myself among the legions of Frida Kahlo fans that will happily plunk down cold-hard cash or even colder interest-collecting credit cards to buy Frida-inspired products. But Frida Kahlo maxi pads? I’ve seen Frida’s image plastered across journals, notepads, shower curtains, shoes and so many more items, but I can’t say that I ever […]
Save Lives With Hands-Only CPR
I am proudly collaborating with the Anthem Foundation on this sponsored post to help raise awareness of hands-only CPR because it saves lives. What is hands-only-CPR? Hands-only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths and has been shown to be as effective as CPR with mouth-to-mouth for those who suffer cardiac arrest at home, work or […]
Experimenting in the Kitchen
We are going to a cookie party this weekend and I thought I would try making a coconut macaroon with Nutella and chopped almonds because why the heck not?! Experimenting in the kitchen is always a learning experience. I didn’t really have a recipe, but I surfed the net and found all kinds of […]
They Still Need Help Putting the Star on the Tree
For as long as I can remember, getting a Christmas tree and decorating it has brought me so much joy. When I was a child, my mother would let me pick out the tree, then we would come home and she would let me decorate it. Normally, my mother can be very particular and kind […]
DIY Candy-Filled Glass Block Photo Keepsake
This post contains affiliate links. The folks at Adobe sent me a free copy of Photoshop Elements 18 and the supplies to make the DIY candy-filled glass block photo keepsake above–except for the Hershey’s Kisses, I bought those myself. I’m so please by how nicely it turned out and how easy it was to make. […]
Frankie Cameron Makes the Best Bags for Moms EVER
I received the beautiful Frankie Cameron bag pictured above free of charge so that I could try it out and tell you about it if I ended up liking it and I like it. I really like it. A purse is a purse, but a mother’s purse is so much more. It’s like a mobile […]
WinterFest at Great America
The day after Thanksgiving we usually lounge around and don’t do much of anything. This year, however, we were invited to the WinterFest Media Night at Great America and it was so worth getting out of our pjs. It’s hard to believe that this is only the second year that Great America hosts WinterFest because […]
