We all have that one friend. You walk into their house and it's like the pages of Pottery Barn came to life right before your eyes. Every decoration is on trend. It's the perfectly staged Instagram picture, in real...
I’ve been in a closet purging mood lately and I've turned to Facebook to sell my items.
I have four dogs and a toddler that I obviously need room for, so clutter just doesn’t fit in. After cleaning out my...
The biggest challenge of our morning is getting four heads of hair to look presentable before lining them up for the bus and finding hairstyles that don't cause a tantrum. 8-7-7-7. Those are the ages of our four school-aged...
Let me preface this post by saying that I am NOT anti-homemade Halloween costumes. In fact, I think they’re the bomb dot com and are obviously the ones that always stand out in a crowd of trick-or-treaters. But for...
I’m not sure when it started, but even as a pre-teen, I was obsessed with health and beauty paraphernalia. My mom would probably blame Bath & Body Works as the gateway to all of my high-end lotion obsessions. It...
