How do you feel about your skin? Do you follow a skin-care regime, or is it usually a second thought? For me, I'm not committed to any one brand. I usually switch out every few months in hopes of finding the next best thing for my face. I guess it's safe to say I bounce from one brand to the next because I haven't found anything that truly showed a difference. I did some serious damage to my skin in my younger years. Tanning … [Read more...]
I love cherry anything, so when I heard today was National Cherry Pie Day, I was ready to celebrate! My girls love cherries, and every time we buy them, it's all I can do to pit them fast enough for them to gobble them up. In honor of National Cherry Pie Day, King Arthur Flour selected a group of bloggers to create their version of a Cherry Pie. I was fortunate to be one of them! Now, it's no secret that I love to bake as I'll … [Read more...]
Do you have kids? I can honestly say, the day I had my first child was the day being healthy was long gone! Winter is the season I dread the most, and I'm sure I don't have to say why. Cold & Flu season. Right now, both of my girls are sick. ...for the second time this year. (And I'm talking in 2012!) After a visit to the doctor's office, my family made a quick stop at Tom Thumb to get a few things to … [Read more...]

My clothing style always evolves with the times. I love to have the latest fashions, as well as a few classics I believe never go out of style. If I'm at home with the kids doing my everyday tasks, or writing a blog post, you will most certainly find me in sweat pants and a t-shirt. But that is not who I am outside of the home. Yes, I'm a mom, but I love fashion. I may not shop as often for myself now … [Read more...]
Up until recently, my typical breakfast was coffee...and more coffee. Oh, and let's not forget the French Vanilla creamer! I swear, I felt terrible every day. How can you get through the day on overloads of caffeine and zero food and actually expect to feel good?! This year I've promised myself something better. Something called real food. On busy days, I make myself a bowl of oatmeal and toss in a handful of nuts and dried … [Read more...]
Last night I got together with some friends for the Superbowl game. Now, I'm not much of a football fan unless I'm at the game itself, but I'm always looking for a reason to entertain...and cook! I happen to be a Dallas Cowboys fan, but since they weren't playing in the Superbowl, I rooted for the Giants. And I'm not just saying this because they won! I can't deny, I spent most of the game eating and yapping, as … [Read more...]

Can you believe Valentine's Day is just over a week away?! Are you planning on going out to eat out with your loved one, or staying in for a romantic home-cooked meal? Dining out can be incredibly expensive, especially if you plan on going to a fine dining restaurant. I happen to love going to restaurants in general, but for holidays, I prefer to stay at home and cook for my family. I've always thought cooking for people is a much more … [Read more...]
