Some of my fondest memories from childhood are running through the neighborhood on those extra steamy summer evenings playing night games with all of the other kids from the hood. It truly is a magical time for children and...

Our laundry situation was fairly under control until we added a third baby to the mix.  I had help for about a week after my c-section, and after that I was completely on my own for most of the day....

I have a confession to make- I actually really like cartoons. I love Disney and Pixar movies and I like a good cartoon that can make me giggle. Might sound silly but, it's better than watching Orange County House...

I'm pretty obsessed with fall. I love it when we start to feel that chill in the air that calls for cute jackets, bon fires, football, and any and all things pumpkin. Pumpkin fudge? I'll try it. Pumpkin patch?...

I've always loved a good DIY project. I'm crafty. I'm creative. I like to get my hands dirty. So, when we recently moved into a quirky 1970s home, I knew I was going to have fun fixing it up....

I know, I know, it’s only the middle of September, but I can’t be the only one dreaming of October, right? Nevermind the temps in the 90s, I’m ready to bust out my coziest sweaters and light some candles....

I like to think of myself as a crunchy momma. You might not know it by looking at me (or my child's disposable diaper - oops!), but I love all things natural, eco-friendly, sustainable and safer. I'm a self-described...

Hi, my name is hot mess mom. I almost never do crafts with my kids, I hate cooking, and the crumbs in my car could feed half of a continent. My kids make messes every 14 seconds (this is...
