As you all can probably tell, I am really into DIY projects. There’s so many projects around the house I’ve been itching to tackle, painting being one of them. White walls are depressing and suck the life out of me, so I HAVE to paint walls to create happy zones. I had the opportunity to…
We’ve been using CFL light bulbs in our home for at least five years. As a way to conserve energy and save money, it just made sense. CFL bulbs last 7-9 years (we haven’t had one go out yet) so they are worth the initial investment. With so many rooms to buy light bulbs for,…
A little over two weeks ago, I asked you guys to help me choose new specs and while it was a hard choice, I’ve made a decision and placed my order. Between the blog, Facebook, and Twitter, Enrich Black and Jodi Brown received the most votes. Since I am a rebel, I went for the…
I didn’t learn how to swim until my Sophomore year in highschool and that is totally unacceptable. There could have been so many times throughout my life where I could have been in danger and not knowing how to swim could have led to me being overwhelmed by the waters. Learning how to swim is…
I’m realizing more and more that sometimes, I just have to let go. For the past 3 years, I’ve stressed over Jayden’s birthday parties. Family parties. With no kids. I always wanted them to be special though. I always wanted to bake some fancy cake and provide a unique party spread. Last year, I stayed…
One of the things that Greg and I hope to do whether this Spring/Summer or the next is go bike riding as a family. Watching this cute video is really making me want to do so even more. We bought Jayden a Schwinn tricycle for his 3rd birthday and I’m kicking myself just a little…
Can you believe that the Graco Pack ‘n Play is celebrating its 25th anniversary?! I had no idea that the Pack ‘n Play that I sat in as a little girl was one of the very firsts! And yes, I still remember actually sitting in a Pack ‘n Play and escaping, lol! The Pack ‘n…
I am a tad bit infatuated with peppers, even more so with the idea of growing them myself. I only shop for green peppers since the pretty orange, yellow, and red ones are so expensive. Last Saturday, while at Target, I discovered the yummy little peppers in the photo to the left. They were on…
My mother has been asking me to make her some apple turnovers for months. It’s been years, probably, since I’ve made them last. I used to do everything by hand since I didn’t have a mixer or the clever idea of cutting the dough using the lid of a small saucepan. I think the long,…

Choosing a Mother’s Day Gift does not have to be extravagant or Pinteresting. It can be as simple as gathering some of mom’s favorite beauty products or products she’s been wanting to try and gifting them in a cute cosmetics bag. Why beauty products? I am always pointing out products that I want to try…
A year ago, I found myself feeling misplaced. I saw a young, supple face, harassed by breakouts like never before… a head full of healthy, full locs with a personality of their own… glasses that slipped and slid, with a prescription way past expiration. That is not what I had envisioned for my 24-year old…
New Glasses 1. What time did you wake up this morning? I think 8 AM. 2. How do you like your steak? Well done. 3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Cinema? What’s that? No really um… whatever it was, it was over 10 years ago. 4. What’s your favorite TV…
