Spring has finally sprung and summer will be here before we know it.  With the sun shining and spending time outside the sunscreen-freak in me has arrived.  My girls know that we will not be going outside unless they are lathered in sunscreen and that there will be frequent reapplications if we are outside for any length of time.  I’m overly cautious about their skin being exposed to the sun’s rays (which is a good thing), but what about their eyes? Alleigh and Kaelyn both like to wear sunglasses because their eyes are sensitive to bright sunlight.  They have had … …..

GlassesShop_thumb.jpg

I remember being a tiny little first grader and finding out I needed glasses.  My parents took me to a store where the walls were full of glasses and after receiving my first pair I couldn’t believe the difference in my eye sight.  It was literally like a whole new world when I put those little round frames on my face and is a fond memory that sticks with me to this day.  What’s not so fond is how many pairs of glasses I have gone through over the past 22 years and how much money has been spent.  I … …..

It seems every day my hair is up in some way whether it be a pony tail, half up, twisted up…. you get the idea.  Since my days consist of chasing around a four and two year old, changing diapers, breastfeeding, doing laundry, continuously picking up messes, and staring into the computer screen for long periods of time having my hair hanging down in my face is just not practical.  But I really hated just using a simple elastic band – for some reason they give off a childish vibe to me, especially when doing a half up style.  Let’s … …..

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Something About Silver Review & Giveaway

Posted on December 23, 2012
IMG_7231.jpg

Like most women I love jewelry.  But for the most part I like looking at it – if that makes any sense, hehe.  I think rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that are big and full of bling are pretty, but their not for me.  I prefer simple classic pieces and I really love silver.  My wedding ring and past, present, future ring are white gold because I refuse to wear yellow gold and they look nice along with the silver jewelry that I prefer.  I don’t tend to wear much jewelry – in fact the two rings I just mentioned … …..

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Earthy Expressions Personalized Mothers Necklace Review

Posted on December 1, 2012
IMG_4248_thumb.jpg

Like most women I love jewelry… before having my little ones I had tons of it and loved wearing different big funky pieces everyday.  But my style has definitely simplified and now I prefer to wear just a few pieces in addition to my wedding ring on a daily basis.  I also like every piece of jewelry I wear to have a meaning behind it and since being a mom is my greatest joy in life having a necklace with my munchkins names on it is perfection for me.  As I mentioned I prefer a simplistic style and absolutely love … …..
