The last batch I made was in January and I still have about 1/2 left. To be fair, I did make a double batch. Here are the ingredients you will need: It's … [Read more...]

Hi guys. Today I wanted to talk to you about something that my blogging has been missing. I have often said that one of the very best things about blogging is the great people you "meet" online. And I have met some wonderful bloggers. Via I've been looking for a community or tribe. People that support each other through this blogging world. A group we can turn to and say "do you know how to do this?" Or "what would you do in this situation?" Even, "tell me how to get … [Read more...]
My girls recently had crazy hair day at school. We decided we wanted to try out a temporary color on their hair. By temporary I mean it washed out the next day in their first bath. It came out easily with a regular shampoo. I think it was quite cute. You'll never guess what we used. My oldest daughter "Love" is NOT a girly girl. She likes to be a tomboy. So we did more urban colors on her hair. This picture is the morning after. She slept like normal and didn't get any … [Read more...]

Ok guys, we need to have a talk. Actually, it's more like I need to make a confession. As you know, Fridays are usually the day I do features from Tuesday's linky party. But if you noticed I didn't post the linky on Tuesday. Here's the thing, I haven't really been feeling it lately. I was so super excited to start it and it went well for a while, but lately it has seemed to fizzle and I haven't been loving it. I don't want to push something that seems to just need time. So for … [Read more...]
