**I received the Brown Bear Party Package in compensation for an honest review. All of these opinions are my own** Confession...I just took down Little B's birthday decorations...and it wasn't just because I'm too lazy, or overly sentimental. It's a little of that...but it's more the fact that the birthday decor was everything I wanted to make B's day extra special. In full disclosure, it Continue Reading
Skinny S-panache Dip (and a Wilton Armetale giveaway)
As an amateur chef simple housekeeper, I've decided that cooking is ALL ABOUT PRESENTATION. I am not a food blogger by any stretch of the imagination. In truth, most of my meals are planned perusing Skinny Taste, because Gina knows how to make a meal that is packed with flavor and low on calories. I just purchased her cookbook...and you should too. She is a master chef. And...I Continue Reading

"So, how was your week?" Steven and I were about four weeks into pre-marital counseling. Things had been going pretty well. We scored off-the-charts on our compatibility assessment; our counselor was incredibly encouraging when he reviewed our communication styles, 'people like you two should be getting married,' he would always say. It felt nice to know we had support from a Continue Reading
Bootleg Editorial: Sidelined by Chuck Pagano (Review and Giveaway)
It's almost here; and it just happens to be the most wonderful time of the year. No, I'm not a crazy southerner who has all of her Christmas shopping done yet. I am that other kind of crazy southerner...you know: the football-crazy southerner. There'll be hamburgers grilling and fourth quarters thrilling and yelling there out in the heat. There'll be awesome pass stories and tales of the Continue Reading
So Not Okay (Mean Girl Makeover): Review and Giveaway
The moment I walked into Clarkston High School, my department head had me pegged. I don't blame her. I am a 5'7" blonde with blue eyes that have a tendency to release more tears than most. I have a permanent grin plastered on my face (especially when I am at work). Phee, in So Not Okay would suggest I "sorta brought it on myself." Why wouldn't she assume that I am wholly incompetent and Continue Reading
Luv You Moore (A Giveaway)
I seriously do not know how parents wait to find out the gender of their little ones. I think most of my dreams from week 5-week 20 of pregnancy were about the gender of our little baby. Every time I had a dream, our baby was always a girl. Her name would be different, but her gender was the same. I could NOT wait to find out whether we would have a bundle filled with sugar and spice or snips Continue Reading
