Family, Fun, Food, and Home Design
I was getting ready today and took the time to put some makeup on. The girls love watching and wanted me to do their makeup. I take a brush and gently swipe their faces with it and brush their eyebrows. Big Nugget soaks it all up, you can see her demeanor change, and told me [...]
We love going to The Yard House. My husband and I love the food and beer selection, the girls love the special treats that come with the kids meal. I decided to recreate their recipe but make them into easy Halloween Rice Krispie Treats, perfect for all of the Halloween activities we have coming up [...]
When we first looked at this house, I always thought that the open space under the stairs would make the perfect reading nook for the kids. Fast forward three years and I finally made it happen. Reading Nook Under the Stairs Before When we bought this house, the lower stairs were open and wrapped in [...]
Finding the perfect Grandparents Gift is the most difficult aspect of the holidays for me. They either have everything they need or don't want anything.

Are you looking for the best gifts for men? The ones who seem to have everything and don't ever need anything? Husband, boyfriend, brother or Grandfather...they can be super tricky to shop for. Or if you are married to someone like my husband, will throw out ideas all year long but when it comes time [...]
