Advent is coming faster than we realize and this year I need your help to make it an extra special season of giving and spreading kindness. A few years ago a good friend of mine started Act In Advent on her Facebook page. The first year, she did one act a day during Advent. The [...]
I've always loved the look of a fiddle leaf fig tree so when it was time to redo our dining room (you can see the transformation here) I knew I wanted one in that room. This room is fiddle leaf fig magic - the perfect amount of sunlight for it to take off. Soon, my [...]
I'm a huge believer in a daily affirmations. I believe that manifestation is real and that you can use daily affirmations to help make what you want in your life materialize. I know that sounds cheesy but not only have I seen it work in my life, but in others as well. Plus, there is [...]
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 [...]
