A Modern Day Fairy Tale

Change {5 Minute Friday}

I am joining in once again this week with The Gypsy Mama for 5 Minute Friday, the linkup where you write about that weeks subject for just 5 minutes. No over thinking, no going back and editing...just writing for five minutes, that's it. It's an interesting thing, because you truly never kn…

What I Wore Wednesday (8/29)

Do you ever notice that when you take the time to put an outfit together, rather than just throw whatever on you tend to feel better? I know this is certainly true for me- I always feel a little more productive and confident when I think I look decent. I've been in a rather blah mood as of late…

Hello Fall!! {First Craft of the Season}

As you all probably know by now, I'm so ready for Fall! So ready in fact, that I decided to go ahead and get started on Fall crafts...I've not done anything crafty for awhile anyway, so I needed an excuse. I'd had the idea last year to make a 'candy corn frame'...I like simple c…

Toy Story 'In Real Life'

When it comes to movies (and games), Shaun has an amazing memory! He memorizes full scenes...and in some cases, full movies. A few nights back he recited the entire Bedtime for Frances DVD for me, start to finish with every little sound! With his favorites, he even likes to recreate them 'in r…

InstaFriday (8/24)

Though I don't use it as often as I could/should, I love Instagram! I'm really not sure why I don't use it more than I do- perhaps because I still have an old iPhone 3 and the camera is just not that great! Or maybe it's because I don't leave the house much and life has for the…

What I Wore Wednesday (8/22)

Today was a busy day, so I dressed for comfort...but who says comfortable can't still be cute. Something to know about me- I love color, and mixing bright colors. I love the contrast of this bright coral top with the bright green necklace, and I received several compliments on it today as well.…

My Birthday Wish List

In less than a week (August 23rd), I will be turning 25! (Which is shocking to me, I swear I just turned 18...and people still don't even believe I'm that old!) Anyway, since I shared Shaun's birthday wishlist, I thought it was only fair to share mine as well. I have actually told my hu…

Sick.

That title pretty much sums up life around here lately!

I mentioned a few weeks back that I'd not been feeling well for a few weeks...believe it or not, I'm still not feeling well! Thankfully, I have a doctor's appointment next Friday (which I made three weeks ago-the soonest they could …

The Lorax Bluray Combo Pack {A Review}

A few days ago, my family was lucky enough to receive a copy of Dr Seuss's new movie, The Lorax in the 2D Bluray/DVD Combo Pack to review. If you haven't yet heard of this movie, here's the official synopsis:

The imaginative world of Dr. Seuss comes to life like never before in this visu…

If You Really Knew Me...

By now, I'm sure most of you have seen this type of post all over the blog world...I'm not sure where it originated from (though if someone does know, please fill me in!), but thought it was an interesting idea. As bloggers, we tend to put only our best foot forward and really only share wh…

Happy Almost Birthday, Shaun!

Five years ago today, I was thoroughly convinced that Shaun would make his appearance into this world. After a few months of preterm labor, it was finally the real deal...and we were ready!

But Shaun had other plans and was in no hurry to come out and meet us! After being sent home for the third and…

Dear Summer...Is It Fall Yet?

Seriously, I've been telling my husband for weeks that I am ready for fall. Perhaps it's because we're finally in an area that actually has a fall. I hate being cold, but there are some great things to look forward to!!

The Weather: I'm not a huge fan of cold weather (and I get cold …
