Basic, Never Boring
**DISCLAIMER: I originally wrote this article months ago…** So, my friend and I were discussing being moms in a new town. She was telling me how she would meet these extremely nice women. They would warmly welcome her to the town, and ask her how she was enjoying the move, so far. And then, just…
When you get married, you don’t stand in front of all of your family and friends expecting your relationship to end. Unfortunately for half of us, that’s exactly where our lives take us. As if a break-up wasn’t hard enough; it’s not always just the dissolution of a marriage, but also, sharing kids. I don’t…
I spend a lot of time on Pinterest; what Mom doesn’t? Around the holidays I look for new items I could craft up and make my own. I found something similar to this Love Never Fails Pallet and I decided to make it my own.

Let’s face it. Clothes are expensive and kids grow fast! It’s hard for me to fathom the thought of purchasing expensive clothes that will be too small a few months down the road. For me, that’s a waste of money. I’m a frugal mama and I like to save money where it counts and saving…
As a busy stay-at-home mom, who runs her household, blog, and Etsy store, life can be pretty hectic. Being a wife, mom, and friend; I seem to have always put everyone before myself because I thought that is what it took to make those in my life happy. But at the end of the day,…
