2014 Daily Selfie: Week 10 {In the Dark Room}
Hi, you guys! How was your weekend? Mine was all kinds of fab. It was a celebration weekend: my birthday is today {41 years old} and my anniversary is tomorrow {19 years}. My family went out of their way to make me feel special this weekend… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Here are a few pictures from last week: Squeekerz can find a ray of sunlight in the darkest night. The requisite coffee shot. It’s what fuels me, ya know? My new zoom lens. A gift from the hubs. I’m so in love right now. With him. And the lens. My birthday cake. I absolutely positively…

Fist Bump Friday: Parenting 101! {In the Cafe}
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know that I like to do a little something called “Fist Bump Friday”, where I encourage my friends to share something that made them happy during the week. Sometimes we get so bogged down with life and the crazy that comes with it that we forget to acknowledge the good things. So I thought it’d be fun if we all shared and celebrated together. This week I’m happy that my family and I had an open and honest discussion about our emotional and physical needs. As parents, we never really know when or if we’re getting it right but I know…

Throwback Thursday: Easy Vegetable Lasagna {In the Kitchen}
In honor of Throwback Thursday, a repost from 6 March 2012. Enjoy! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted about Meatless Monday, I guess because we’ve mostly been eating soups on those days but last night was totally different. I made a Vegetable Lasagna that was to die for… OK, truth, the girls and I loved it, the guys not so much. So while it may not be a total guy pleaser, I think it’s well worth trying. Ingredients 4 Zucchini (sliced) 1 Green Pepper (diced) 1 Red Onion (diced) 1 Package Frozen Spinach (defrosted) Mushrooms (sliced) Garlic Powder Salt & Pepper 1 Package lasagna noodles 2 (15 oz)…

House Tour: The Living Room
This is our ferocious guard dog, Squeekerz, he’d like to welcome you to our home. If you’d like to make a lifelong friend, please bring him cookies. Preferably, Girl Scout Shortbread but he’ll accept bread slices… A few weeks back, the kids and I were sitting in the living room talking when they announced that the living room was “too brown”. They proceeded to point out every brown object in the room. I can take a hint, I needed to add more color. So I went “shopping” around the house for a few items. The photos on the walls are pictures that I’ve taken here in Missouri and in Mississippi.…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 9 {In the Dark Room}
Oh my word, y’all, I know everyone has been complaining about the weather but, seriously, can we at least go for consistency? One day it’s pushing 70º and the next we’re at ~5º with ice. I need it be warm or cold, not both. Other than that, the week has been relatively uneventful. But I’m grateful for each and every day. Here’s my week in review, courtesy of Instagram: This was my entry into the Instagram Photo Challenge hosted by Mashable earlier this week. The prompt was #MyFuel. We all know coffee fuels me. It was picture day at the library. Pictures should never be taken during winter or summer,…

House Tour: The Dining Room & Kitchen
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… This is truly the heart of our home. We do everything in this space: eat, talk, laugh, pay bills, cry over said bills… We have a dining room/kitchen combo, which I absolutely love. I’ve found that as my kids have gotten older, I prefer the informal setting of a combination area. I like being part of the action. The hubs surprised me with the dining room table a while back. Long story short, he had given mine away with the promise of a new one… Skip ahead 6 months and we were still eating our meals at a…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 8 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely wonderful: the sun was out, I disconnected from work, and I got to hang out with my family. Seriously, what more could I ask for? Not much, I tell ya. Well, I’ve decided to revamp my 2014 Daily Selfie posts. I knew this would happen… But I’m tired of me. I know the point of the challenge is to document ourselves and our lives, to provide a visual memory of our feelings {be they good or bad}, but I just couldn’t keep it up. So, I’m going to share my favorite Instagram pictures from the previous week and tell the story…

SmileBrilliant Professional Teeth Whitening Review and Giveaway {#Sponsored} {CLOSED}
Before I say anything else, I want to say thank you to the hubs for being my guinea pig. He was such a good sport throughout the whole teeth whitening process. Honestly, I was looking forward to the silence. Thought I’d settle in with a magazine for a bit. Not so. Via text and numerous grunts, the hubs told me which pictures to take, how he felt through the process, etc. So this was truly a team effort. Recently, I was given the opportunity to review SmileBrilliant, a professional teeth whitening kit that comes with an LED light. We chose to have the hubs try the product out for 2…
