My kids go to a public charter school where they wear uniforms. I like the uniforms and feel that they cut down on a whole world of problems for both families and children. My girls also enjoy adding cute and fun accessories within the dress code. Today I wanted to share with you these adorable DIY kid’s boot socks I …

A New Year and a New Dress from eShakti
*Disclaimer: I received a custom-tailored dress for the purpose of this review* A few weeks ago I was visiting one of my favorite bloggers The Deliberate Mom.

When Magic Happens
My family lives in Southern Arizona. Winters here are typically sunny, beautiful and clear with average temperatures ranging in the 70’s. On New Year’s Eve a storm blew in that brought cold and rainy weather. It also brought something else. Snow! This isn’t something that happens on a regular basis here so we bundled up the older children (we left …
Mommy Reality #26: Getting Rid Of These Is Going to Break Me
For this Mommy Reality Challenge Celeste has asked us to share a bad habit that we plan to break as part of a New Year’s resolution. Perhaps that would be like Celeste and I deciding to no longer make bad photo shop pictures of ourselves… Nah, we have way too much fun doing them! So here is what bad habit …

My Wish For You
To all of my friends and readers, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a few days off this week. Hopefully in order to make some good memories with my children.

Man-Day Post: What Your Man Wants for Christmas
Welcome to a new Man- day post from Jensguy! OK, In going back to Jennifer’s List of Songs That Need to be Retired, she forgot to list one of the most schmaltzy tunes we have to deal with during the Holidays, the insipid “My Grown-Up Christmas List.” I’m picking on Amy Grant because I love her and owned ALL of …
Five Christmas Songs That Need To Be Retired
One of the best parts of the Holiday season is the music! I love to listen to all of the sleigh bells jingling, chestnuts roasting and yule time carols both old and new. In the town where I live there is a radio station that plays nothing but Christmas music for the whole month of December. This occupies slots 1-5 …
Hip Hip Hooray! It’s My SITS Day!
When I first started blogging I quickly found the SITS Girls (aka Secret In The Sauce) and became a part of the SITStahood!

Every weekday, they feature a blogger from their their over 40,000 member community and today, I’m …
Mommy Reality #25: A Glimpse Of Your Holidays

Make Your Own Christmas Glitter Dough
During the summer I came across a recipe for Fairy Mud that intrigued me. I had planned on trying this out with my children, but never got around to it. In November our family spent a lot of time indoors as we recuperated from various illnesses, so I thought we would try making the mud. Putting my own spin on …
