A Modern Day Fairy Tale

These are actually from the last few weeks, since I didn't post last week! You will be happy to know that there is a lot of Shaun cuteness to share this time!!


This is what we call his 'Home Alone face'. He says this is his new favorite movie, and the best Christmas movie ever....I supp…

I know what you're thinking...another blog post today!? I saw this fun linkup on another blog I follow, and had to join the fun! It's all about celebrity sightings!! Unfortunately, I don't have pictures for most of these (at my house anyway!), so you'll have to take my word for it!…

I am really excited about the latest company on the Holiday Gift Guide. As I had said before I started, my main goal was to focus on small businesses and direct sales companies for these reviews. There are truly a ton of great direct sales companies, and a little something for everyone on your list…

I have mentioned several times in the past that I enjoy fashion, but more than that I have said how much I LOVE getting a bargain. In fact, last month, I posted this post with some tips and tricks to secondhand shopping. Still, I am often asked how I do it. People are genuinely impressed (and curi…

If you haven't started already, it's about the time now that most people start thinking more about Christmas! When you think Christmas, what comes to mind- the lights? the presents? the trees? the shopping? Santa? Hopefully, somewhere in that long list of all things Christmas, you stop a m…

I feel like I've gotten a little behind, so I thought I'd do a quick, random post to catch up.


If you read my last post, you know why I've been a little scarce...at least, one of the reasons anyway. Each day is getting better though. The good news is, my doctors appointment went well. My…

It amazes me how quickly you can fall in love. With the first hint that you may have a baby on the way, to the positive pregnancy test...it's an immediate love. At least, it is for me. So, you can only imagine that it is with the deepest sadness that I have to write this post. Unfortunately, on…

As you can imagine, this week has been a pretty big week for us!! It was last Friday morning, that I got that first very faint second line on an early pregnancy test! That was also the morning of the Ball...and those weren't the only big events of the week either!

A few days ago I'd mentioned I'd not been feeling well...in fact I've not been feeling well for a couple weeks now...and here's why:


That's right, we are excited to share that we will be welcoming baby #2 into our family. I have my first doctor's appointment next month, and …

A few months back, I brought you a review and giveaway from my lovely sponsor- Linda Menke, Independent Lilla Rose Consultant. If you missed that review, click here to read my full thoughts on these wonderful products! Since that review, I have continued to use my Lilla Rose Flexi Clips nearly eve…

Sorry in the delay of this post, I've not been feeling well (more on that later), but the winner of the Stella & Dot giveaway was:

Tabitha K.

Tabitha has been notified and responded! Congrats, Tabitha, I hope you enjoy your purchase!!

If you didn't win, you still have time to purchase from…

Oh what a busy week this has been! Lots going on and lots of pictures to share! 

Probably the biggest event of the week was the Colts game! It was mine and Shaun's first ever professional sporting event! If you watched the game, you already know it was a tribute to the troops. Matt actually pa…
