My kids are in bed, Stella’s backpack is packed. I sit down at my computer and I’m itching to blog. I can tell the end of summer is near. I have PTA and back-to-school paperwork duties to fulfill tonight. However, my “to-blog-about” list is long. Too long. But another list is short. 14?? Only fourteen? FOR
If you don’t follow me on Facebook or you aren’t a real-life friend, you may have wondered where I went? What happened? Did I drop off the face of the earth this summer? No. Summer has been fun and busy…and fun. However, my free time has been dedicated {I’m ashamed to say} to watching Scandal.
When it comes to being a stay-at-home-mom with three little kids…well, I’m becoming more and more in love with small conveniences. And some of them are totally unnecessary, but I’m ok with it.

When a friend is in need of help due to a new baby, a sick child, etc. we all find our own ways to give a hand. Usually, I prefer to provide food. I stock up on these foil containers with paper lids so that I have them in the pantry when necessary. It makes
I am a pear. I will always be a pear. I used to wear clothes that brought everyone’s eyes to my HIPS/thighs. Now I’ve l learned how to bring people’s eyes to my WAIST. This was my #1 lesson learned from my session with Ainslie. She loved the skirt I am pictured in above (my
Last week I started sharing about my experience hiring a fashion consultant. I prepped for the appointment and survived the consultation. But then I had homework. Although most of the outfits we put together were straight from my own closet and accessories, there were still some things on the suggested “to buy” list to complete
Let’s start with the end first. I was completely prepared for the actual closet consultation and after it actually happened? I was exhausted. The above pile is all of the clothes I decided to donate elsewhere. And the shirt below was voted Worst Item in My Closet. I mean, the colors are bad enough…but the
I promise to return with the rest of my closet facelift series. However, May 1 begins National Foster Care month. Please see the letters above and below about the wonderful organization Warm Welcomes. Hello friends and family, We are so excited to see the impact that Warm Welcomes Foster Care Outreach has been making in
My closet no longer excited me! I have been a stay-at-home-mom for over a year now. And when I looked in my closet a month or so ago, it just made me sigh. When I quit my job I held onto all of my clothes not knowing what exactly I would wear or need in
A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to get some new headshots from a local photographer. More to come on the actual photos themselves. Once I posted a few on Facebook, the comments came in FAST. So many people did NOT like the serious-face Tricia. Sorry! But many, many, many people LOVED the necklace
There have been so many posts lately about going overboard on birthday parties, class parties, and holidays in general. Everyone trying to one-up someone else. To that I say, NO THANKS. Do I sometimes go a bit overboard on a certain idea or holiday or class event…sure. But is it consistent? NOPE. And that’s what
