I’ve been wanting to practice some delicious new cupcakes for my almost 2 year old’s (seriously WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE??) birthday. Everyone notices how delish the icing is and could often care less about the taste of the cake, sad but true. Also, today my husband wanted a cheat day from his strict Paleo [...]

Last week husband was gone for 6 days on a business trip. He came back feeling awful and needed a little detox from all the eating out and high carb meals. So, now he’s trying to really limit his carbs. Tonight I made him some meatza. It’s like pizza, but without the crust and instead [...]

I’m writing this post because I’m once again 5 months pregnant. We will have three girls in less than four years (my poor, poor, poor husband). With this said, my oldest two are only 21 months apart and I lost every pound (by working SO hard) in between them and I lost every pound plus [...]

One of my friends (I spent 6 college years with her) invited us to a Christmas craft party! It was so much fun for the kids. Ella was so excited for it and couldn’t wait to go. She had food and four fun crafts for the kids to do. The food was absolutely adorable and [...]

I made a promise to myself this holiday season and that was to not let the hustle bussle get to me and actually take time for the season with my kids. Usually the holiday season just passes me by and I did not want my kids to have the same feeling. So, here’s one of our many [...]

I will be the first to admit, I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I love it so much that we have 4 Christmas trees (plus a Charlie Brown one). We have one set up in our family room, living room and in each of the girls rooms AND I will have to get another one by next Christmas [...]

This craft was so fun to make! I found the idea here. I think what made it so fun was that we got to hunt down some of mother nature at its finest. Fall is so beautiful here in Virginia. We went on a little hunt for all the turkey’s feathers. Ella (3) was really [...]
