Tweet If I had to pick a go to item in my craft closet, it would be chalkboard paint. It’s fast. It’s fun. And it has the possibility to bring clarity to a space. Not to mention it’s just so darn easy! Not a fan of black? RustOleum and Hudson Paint carry a variety [...]

3 New Ways to Hunt Easter Eggs
Tweet I did a little trial egg hunt with my almost three-year-old last week and realized that she doesn’t quite get it. She was all for me hiding the eggs, but then the “go and find them” part was a little lost on her. I started looking around and I found some great ideas to [...]
Mommy SOS | Ms. Manners
Tweet Dear Mommas, My almost three year old has decided she is now “shy” and won’t speak to people. I’m not asking her to have a conversation, but I am trying very hard to teach her nice manners. Hello, goodbye, thank you, you’re welcome, I’m 2 years old, etc. However, instead of answering when someone [...]

Finding a sitter, finding a reservation, finding something to wear, finding the kiddo’s favorite jammies, finding a time when my husband can get home early enough for dinner but late enough [...]
Is Costco making me fat?
Tweet My youngest turned one last week! This means I can no longer use the excuse “I just had a baby!” to explain those last few pregnancy pounds I’m still trying to loose…well, at least not with a straight face. Like many moms, I’ve held on to a couple of, what I lovingly call, “Souvenier [...]
Happy Closet, Happy Momma
Tweet I always loved watching when Oprah would give tours of her home and office. Colin Cowie would be walking with her and pointing out how her closet was not only organized, but beautiful. Every nook and cranny of her house was gorgeous and cleverly and meticulously neat. Obviously Oprah has a few (read: many) [...]
