Five on Friday ~ must haves for a busy mom life
Happy Friday y’all! Did you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day? I love Valentine’s Day! My little boys always make holidays so much fun! For the past week, everyday after school, my two youngest sons would sit at the table and make valentines for hours. They have made me quite the collection of the sweetest little valentines that I have ever seen! My heart is so full! Being a mom is one of the hardest, and most rewarding things that I have ever done. My boys are my life! Speaking of motherhood, I couldn’t have ever imagined how busy, and all involved, being a mom would be. It is a…

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop 311
Welcome to our party! This week we are introducing the new Inlinkz format for adding your blog posts to the party. It is pretty straight forward but there is an initial sign-up step. At first, I wasn’t so sure that I was going to like it. It asks you to “sign up” with email. If you are like me, you are probably a little tired with signing up for this and registering for that. So, I did it on another party to try it out. It is easy, thank goodness. Nice thing, too, is that you only have to do it one time. When I attended other parties that are…

A Thrifted Christmas
I’m so excited to be joining three talented bloggers (their links are at the bottom of this post), for a thrift store challenge. The rules for this challenge were simple, shop one thrift store, and find things to create something Christmasy. As soon as I was invited to participate in this little thrift store challenge, I immediately knew what I wanted to do…my boys’ playroom! I was already planning on revamping my boys’ playroom, and this challenge gave me the motivation to get it done. Before now, it was just a room full of toys…no furniture..just toys, toys, and more toys. Now that my two oldest boys are getting a…

A Few Simple Christmas Touches To My Dining Room
This year, I added just a few small Christmas touches to my dining area. First of all, I have to tell you…these stocking are my favorite!! Y’all know how much I LOVE lace! These lace beauties are so cute, and are even cuter in person! They are from Free People, two years ago. I had my eye set on them all season, but waited for them to go on major sale after Christmas. Because my home has an open floor plan, there isn’t a dining room per say, but just a dining area between, the kitchen and the family room. I have four boys, needless to say, I don’t create…

Top Shelf Clearance Challenge ~ ‘Tis The Season
It’s time for another Top Shelf Clearance Challenge!! I always love to see what I can do with just $15, in the clearance section. I’ve noticed that I usually create something better, when it’s more challenging for me. And, trust me, it’s not an easy task to find a $15 clearance item(s) that you can make into something amazing. I usually have to scour the clearance aisles, of many stores, to find something that might work. At the bottom of this post, you can check out the other talented bloggers, that have participated in this challenge…so many fun ideas! This month, I was SO excited to find these darling paper…

My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Now that the holiday season is upon us, it’s time for baking! And, because Tara, at Stillettos and Shiplap, and I showed you our Chrismtas kitchens earlier this week, we thought it would be fun to share with y’all one of our favorite holiday cookie recipes. My favorite holiday cookies are definitely frosted sugar cookies, but, I have four extremely picky boys, none of whom like sugar cookies….Can you believe it! Anyway, they all love chocolate chip cookies, so that is what we make, and have perfected for the holidays.This recipe is seriously so good! Everyone always wants me to make these cookies for them. Good thing, I have the…
