Life is Messy, but It's Worth It
We recently purchased a Nest thermostat for our home, because we had Christmas money to burn and our current thermostat was SUPER out-dated– I’m not even sure that we were setting our temps correctly, it was that level of old. I know that there are other brands of eco-friendly, high-tech thermostats but this is the […]
Through my insurance, I have a gym membership to over 7 gyms in my general vicinity. So I have the capability to workout at a gym whenever I want to. The problem is I don’t want to get in my car and drive across town to just workout. I’d MUCH rather do an at home workout and save […]
I need a guide to makeup brushes, like I need a car manual. Most of my friends are OBSESSED with buying and putting on makeup, where I’m over here just trying to look presentable during the day. Seeing Instagram posts filled with makeup palettes and gobs of brushes confuses me, mostly because I don’t know […]
Our golden retriever has turned into a murderer. He’s a 70 pound puppy that LOVES to rip apart his dog toys in search of squeakers and stuffing. So my house gets littered with remnants of all the adorable plush toys we’ve bought him Now we’ve decided to let him wander around with the surviving carcasses, […]
I used to work in a restaurant where my diet consisted mostly of carbs, particularly pizza. This is when I started to notice how THICK my waist had gotten. It wasn’t fat, it was just thick. That’s when a girl I worked with recommended a detox water that helped her lose 10 pounds in one […]

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always bought a new Easter dress. It doesn’t matter that we don’t have to dress up for church any more, or that we have a casual lunch at my Grandma’s now, I love a new dress. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have so many Easter dresses! This year, […]
It’s Spring cleaning time in our house right now. Even though we keep a relatively clean home all year long, there are certain things that only get cleaned once or twice a year that I put on our Spring cleaning list. If it’s that time of year in your household, you may have created a […]
There was another homeowner lesson this weekend in our household. We had a leaking toilet (Or so we thought). However, when we tried to replace the wax ring, we quickly discovered that our toilet tank was cracked. Which is how we decided to shop for a toilet on a Sunday. I have never been a […]
The weather is warmer and everything has started to melt here, which is GREAT! Except we have a dog that needs to be let out and tracks his muddy paws in the house. We have a rule right now that we go out to go potty and come right back, so the level of mud […]
