Ok, I'll admit that I've been dreading this post for a while now!! There's something about taking pictures of yourself in a swimsuit and posting them online that feels so cringeworthy! BUT, I'm learning to embrace it as part of this job while I continue to practice quieting the negative voices in my head. I have to give all the younger bloggers major props because there is no way I would have had the self confidence to do this in my 20s. But I really do believe that timing is everything ...
Amazon Summer Swimwear Try On
The Best White Jeans! (And 5 tops to pair them with)
The struggle is real in finding the perfect white jeans! I've been on the hunt for years and always end up disliking them after while. Well I've found my new favorite pair and they are AB SLIMMING plus you get to size down in them! Now that's a WIN!!! I'm also sharing (below) 2 very close runner ups. Both options are distressed and the second pair has an elastic waist, which is a must have in every woman's closet! When I start to feel like I may be gaining a few pounds, these are always ...
How to Clean an Outdoor Rug to Look Brand New
How to Clean an Outdoor Rug I love the look of an outdoor rug but they get absolutely disgusting after one season outside! The first year at our new house I purchased 2 outdoor rugs. By the second season I already had to throw 1 away. By the third season I decided to try power washing them and with a few small tweaks, I got them to look brand new again!! THRILLED!!!! I loved the designs and wasn't ready to switch them out, nor did I want to spend the money. (The cream rug is at least 4 ...
Spring Walmart Try On
So I'm going to share a little secret with you. I've never been much of a Walmart shopper. But after seeing so many cute items on other blogger friends, I decided to load up my cart and give online shopping a try. I was blown away with the items that came in! Almost everything was a keeper! I think it took me so long to finally pull the trigger because the Walmart near my house is not a pleasant shopping experience. However, the one near my parents in WI, I'd shop at all day every ...
DIY Hot Chocolate Bombs
Ok ya'll, this one is exciting for me to share because it's a DIY activity that I did with my kids that actually turned out like the Pinterest pictures!!! I was a little hesitant to try this but I'm so glad I did because I've made them over and over again. Think Valentine's Day, Birthday favors, Christmas gifts. And people love that their homemade! You'll need to purchase silicone molds before you get started. I ordered them off of Amazon. They were super easy to work with and very ...
My Top Organic Baby Food Pouch Pick
So my boys have outgrown baby food, but when I had the chance to partner with Serenity Foods, I couldn't decline! While I don't exclusively shop organic, I do watch labels really closely and try to buy the cleanest foods for my family. When Anthony was a baby, I went as far as making some of my own baby food. It was time consuming and one more thing I didn't need to add to my to do list. I was working 50 hours a week so on the weekends I should have been more focused on just spending ...
