This project is one that I’ve had pinned forever, but just never got around to doing. I’m not sure if I thought it would be too hard or take too much time but if I would have known how easy it was I would have made it sooner. There wasn’t one particular tutorial I followed and instead I found a couple different one and took tips from each of them. Hopefully mine is pretty comprehensive and won’t leave you with a bunch of questions like some of the tutorials I found. What You Need: -1x10x6 piece of wood (if you think your child might be taller than 6ft, you can…

Christmas Recap: Part 2 {Christmas Day}
I realize it’s almost February but this post has been in my drafts since well, Christmas, and it’s now or never. There’s nothing quite like waking up on Christmas morning. Jack slept in (of course) and we managed to hold Ben off until 8am to open presents. The pure excitement on Ben’s face is priceless! Jack was at such a fun age this year. He was able to actually open presents instead of just eating the wrapping paper. At noon we changed out of our pjs and headed over to my parent’s house for Christmas with my side of the family. In case you didn’t know, Jack is obsessed with…

Weekend Recap
When Sunday night rolled around I was so not ready for this weekend to end. I traveled early Friday morning to see a client and I got to witness this beautiful sunrise. Something about a sunrise instantly puts me in a better mood. We spent a good chunk of Saturday cleaning and organizing the house and it felt amazing. As a reward for our hard work we treated ourselves to Smoothie King which just opened in our town. I didn’t realize most of their smoothies are meant to be meal replacements which means a lot of them have a lot of calories. We all ordered the kid sizes which are…

5 on Friday
One. I’m DYING to go on a trip somewhere. Especially overseas 🙂 Since we’re moving and buying a new house in just a few months this trip won’t be happening anytime soon but J and I are going on a little overnight date to St. Louis in February to see Hozier. Although it’s just one night, it’ll be nice to get away just the two of us. Two. Forever 21 has been killing it with their jewelry lately. Most of their necklaces are around $5 and pretty good quality for cheap costume jewelry. Three. I love me some Veggie Straws but I think I love Veggie Chips even more. Have…

Buy this Bootie {Look-A-Like TOMS Wedges}
You guys. I have been obsessed with these Tom’s wedges for several months now. At $88, they’re not that expensive, but for something pretty trendy I didn’t want to spend quite that much. Imagine my excitement when I saw my friend Alissa in an almost identical pair and she told me they were from… KMART!! Can you believe it? KMart has really stepped up their game. I promptly ordered the nude pair before Christmas and they happened to be on sale so with tax and shipping it came to $18. Here’s a picture of my actual pair. Not only are these booties cute, but they are SO comfortable! I’m going to be ordering the black…
