    Well we finally made it to Friday! I’ve got something really exciting to share so let’s jump right in. //one// I made my first ever Vlog! I take you along with me for the weekend and I may or may not have traumatized my kid for life by doing a face mask. You can watch the vlog below or over on my YouTube Channel.

    Copy Cat {Jimmy Dean Breakfast Skillet}

    It all started with my husband’s obsession with those skillet breakfasts. If you’ve never had one, they come frozen with potatoes, peppers, and sausage and all you add is the egg. Since they only take about 10 minutes from start to finish they’re perfect for a quick weekday breakfast or a lazy Saturday morning.  So when I found myself without any in the freezer and a husband who just had to have one, I decided to make my own. And it’s probably no surprise that it blew the frozen skillet out of the water. The best thing about this recipe is that you can add or take out whatever you’d…

    Weekend Recap

    Well I officially vlogged my weekend. And it ain’t easy to do. All you vloggers out there make it look so much easier than it actually is so kudos to you. I’m hoping to edit the video and then post in on Wednesday so make sure you tune in for that.  Our weekend started off with a visit to see my best friend who was in town. Her parents live two minutes from us and the kids always love going over there. As usual, Ben was completely smitten with baby Callen and my heart just about burst watching them interact. My kids are also obsessed with Meghan’s husband who always…

    Friday, Friday

    Hello friends and happy Friday. Anyone else trying not to eat all the girl scout cookies you bought? (raises hand). And do yourself a favor and never look at the nutritional info. Despite what the box says, 2 Caramel Delites is not enough. Anyway, I’m linking up with Christina, Karli, & Amanda to bring you this week’s 5. //one// If you missed it yesterday, don’t forget to check out my Playroom Reveal post. I love how the room turned out even though it hasn’t been that clean since. //two// The weather in the midwest has been crazy lately and we’ve had almost two weeks of 70 degrees. I’ve gotten so spoiled with the nice weather…

    Our New Home {Playroom Reveal}

    Well the playroom is finally complete. And it was actually clean the other day so what better time to snap some pictures for the reveal. One of the things that I love the most about our playroom is that even with all the things in it, there is still tons of room for the kids to run, jump, somersault, and just be crazy boys. So let’s start with the before pics. The color on the wall was Wollen Vest by Pittsburgh Paint and it was brownish greenish. Not my style.  First change was the paint color. Like most of the areas in our house, we went with Mindful Grey. It…
