I know there are some bloggers out there rocking Christmas straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog and I'm all, look at my paper rings folks! I already blogged my dining room wall, which I like to consider the equivalent of my mantle. I also blogged about this fun kid project here. We left off with my complaining about the disaster and the diminishing daylight. And wouldn't you know it--I got that house clean and guess what? It was dark. Three kids live here. I wasn't leaving it up to ...
Chicken Spaghetti Recipe & Meal Planning
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and eMeals all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #eMealstotheresuce http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO. Tonight for dinner we had Chicken spaghetti. This is something that feels so obvious that I don't understand how in my 30 years I have never had it. It was delicious! The kids loved it, we loved it.

A Kindergarten Chic, Handmade, Colorful Christmas
There are a bazillion ways your Christmas decor can go. Traditional, color scheme, industrial, metallic, glam, themed every which way. This year I decided to embrace my life now. I have a 5 year old, a 2 year old and a 7 month old. For Christmas I pictured something out of the Holiday.

Then I was talking to my friend Ann Marie from White House, ...
Oreo Truffle Reindeer Noses & Printable
The holidays are crazy busy. No matter how much I prepare or shop or do in advance, I am always trying to whip up a gift or a treat or a dish the day of. It.never.fails. Anyone else? I still remember the first time I had Oreo truffles. It was a few years back--my mom made them for a party. My mind was blown. They are so unbelievably delicious! The best part is they are so stinking easy. Seriously. You need a package of Oreos, 8 oz of softened cream cheese and some melting chocolate. ...
