It’s about that time. Time to say good-bye. Really, it’s not a big deal since I haven’t been here in forever. It’s just that the domain hosting service is up for renewal and I don’t want to pay for it anymore. Like, that money can be used to buy more coffee or pay for subscriptions […]

I’ve always been an avid reader. There’s nothing better than getting lost in a good book. Well, binge watching a really good series is a pretty good time…and eating ice cream in bed is down right blissful. But reading has always been one of my favorite past times. I mostly read chic-lit, the historic novels […]

Alyssa turned one already! To celebrate, we had little birthday celebration at a local restaurant. It wasn’t a big event, but that didn’t stop her from going baby-glam – we went for a pink and gold stars first birthday theme!! With a matching pink and gold star cake and smash cake, of course.

August 15, 2015 by 7 Comments
Arielle will be starting the first grade at her new school next week. (Woah! How did that happen already?!) She will be attending the public school that’s just down the block.

Garage Sale season is in full effect, y’all! I love shopping at garage sales, but I just had the worst time ever trying to sell stuff at my own garage sale. I hoarded all my old and unused stuff in hopes that one day I will sell them all and make a ton of money. […]

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Cloth Diapering
April 6, 2015 by 10 Comments
I covered MommyCon Chicago as a journalist back in February, which is a boutique style conference on modern and natural parenting. I was all about the babywearing and breastfeeding, but had no interest in cloth diapering. I didn’t know anything about cloth diapering other than the fact that I’m terrible at laundry and poopy diapers […]

Last weekend, we hosted a joint birthday party for Arielle and Zavier, where Arielle wanted a Sofia the First birthday and big boy Zavier wanted a Paw Patrol birthday party. I was able to pull off both themes in one party by setting up separate sweet tables with decorations and custom labels. You can check […]

Thrifty Entryway Decor and Inspiration
March 19, 2015 by 27 Comments
Yay, I finally decorated my entryway! It’s been awhile since I shared a home decor post. Since owning this home for a little over two years, I’ve learned that decorating is a long, drawn-out process because it’s expensive! It takes me forever because I’m indecisive and cheap. The good news is that I’m patient and […]
