The Winter Hutch Display and V-Day Decorating

The Winter Hutch Display and V-Day Decorating

    After Christmas I decided to keep out some snowmen again like I did last year.  I was going to take them down this past weekend, but then the forecasters thought it might snow this week so I left them up a bit longer.  Big bummer on the snow…not much at all.   But now it’s

The Good Nite Lite

The Good Nite Lite

  In one of my recent SAHM discovery posts, I mentioned the Good Nite Lite.  I’ve got to admit, it’s not the cutest thing…looks a bit creepy to me in broad daylight.  However, I love it.  Seriously.    You see, Charlotte doesn’t fall far from the tree.  And she takes after her momma.  So she

More Things I’ve Learned as a SAHM

My how they’ve grown in ONE year!!   Some of you enjoyed my recent post on what I’ve quickly learned about being a Stay-At-Home-Mom.  Well, 2-weeks in and I’m discovering more and more.    So here are the latest observations:   1. My hands are cracked and bleeding from all of the dish-rinsing, table-wiping, hand-washing after

New at Target…Skeggings?!?!

New at Target…Skeggings?!?!

    Earlier this week a FB friend posted this photo on her wall.  I had to look twice.  “Skeggings”? What the heck?  Sounded a bit skanky.  (Yes, that was the first word that came my mind…probably not what the Target marketing team had in mind.)    But then I thought again about it…a skirt with

  Some of you already saw this photo on Instagram or my FB page over the weekend.  A quick explanation for the rest of you… Well, I have to go to the Heart Ball next month and it’s a black tie event.  My first formal event in years.  But no, I do not plan to wear

Top 10 Things I’m Realizing Staying Home

Top 10 Things I’m Realizing Staying Home

    After only three full days (and considering I was already used to one day home each week, we should probably say TWO whole days) I’ve come to the realization of the following as far as being a stay-at-home-mom:   1. I’m ALWAYS in the car.  Always.  Thank goodness I love my minivan.   2.

Do You Drive a Minivan?

Do You Drive a Minivan?

It’s honestly hard to think of a time before my minivan. And if you’d told me three years ago that I’d own a minivan, I would have LAUGHED. in. your. face.  It was one of my goals in life.  To NEVER own a minivan.  Like ever (yes, too much Taylor Swift lately). But, when one has

Summer Camps…already??

Summer Camps…already??

I’m not officially a SAHM yet (gotta make it through Friday!), but I’m already thinking about Summer Camps.  Yep, I said SUMMER.   Whether you are a working parent, a working parent with the summer off, or a SAHM, you know that summer will be here before we know it and kids need to be

Are You Snow Ready?

Are You Snow Ready?

  We may or may not get snow this week.  I’ve heard rain, freezing rain, slight snow, a foot of snow.  Hmmm….   What I do know is that the tiny dusting that basically looked like I sprinkled a bit of powdered sugar on the lawn had the kids going CRAZY.  The snow NEVER came
