My two little daughters are super into Shimmer and Shine, a show about twin genies-in-training. Imagine a Lisa Frank-ish world, and then add glitter. And more glitter. The girls often pretend to be the main characters from the show. It’s the cutest thing to watch them play together, sporting high ponytails and necklaces on their […]

Last week, I got to cross “Visit Somewhere Out of the Country” and “Go On a Cruise” off of my bucket list. Back in October, my husband and I booked a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas on Royal Caribbean’s ship Enchantment of the Seas. At the time of booking, we weren’t sure when my dad […]
In March, I tried out Avocadu’s 21-Day Weight Loss Challenge. Spoiler Alert: It went really well and I learned a lot. The Challenge is three weeks long, and is designed to be repeatable. You do it as many times as you need until you lose all the weight you want (each three-week completion is called […]

Throwing a birthday party during a move isn’t the easiest thing to do. On the day of my husband’s birthday, we had one foot in the old house and one in the new. I was frustrated! The original birthday plans for Jake went out the window, and any hope of making his day feel special […]
Quilling is one of my favorite hobbies! It can be pretty time consuming, but the payoff is huge. There are so many designs you can make just by rolling paper! The cool thing is that the actual technique is pretty easy; you just need the right tools and a little bit of patience. The classic […]
