I love using mini canvases for projects like these! I gave this jack o’ latern some character by making it a bit lopsided. My daughter asked […]

We sisters LOVE the TLC show Four Weddings (and boy, did we binge-watch it before Madison’s wedding!). Each episode features four brides that compete for a grand prize honeymoon by having the highest-rated wedding. The brides-to-be (all were strangers before the show), attend each other’s weddings and give each wedding a rating based on different […]

This event was founded on the Hindu tradition of families and friends gathering to throw colored cornstarch into the air around a fire in celebration of the […]
I have the best boyfriend in the world (fight me), and I am constantly looking for new ideas of what to do for him! My roommate was telling me about what she did for her friend’s half-birthday, and I laughed so hard. She organized “half” activities (such as eating half a sandwich, watching half a movie, […]
I have a secret talent. You know that game 2 Truths and a Lie? One of my truths is the same every time: I can find 4-leaf clovers without trying. Yes, I realize that some people go their whole lives without ever finding one, but for me it was always so easy! I would just […]
You might have heard the marriage advice about having a weekly (or at least regular) date night. My husband Joey and I rocked at this our first few years of marriage and said we’d always make it happen. Well, life happened.

Anyone who has ever taken an introductory psychology class has probably studied Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. As a psych student, I studied it many times. The basic principle is certain needs have to be met before other aspects of life can be focused on. Someone who is physically starving will need to focus on finding […]
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 […]
It is the week of February 14th and love is in the air! The stores are filled with balloons and flowers, houses are decorated with red hearts, and couples flood the streets. I have a boyfriend, but this year (due to distance) we cannot celebrate in the conventional way. I join the singles this year […]
“What?! Valentine’s Day is this week?! I haven’t done anything!” Unfortunately, I am no planner like my wonderful sisters! Holidays always seem to sneak up on me, leaving me scrambling last minute. (Is it fair that my boyfriend is a hopeless romantic and way better at all this than me?) But Valentine’s Day does not […]
