This post brought to you by Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. It isn't often that I get to help my parents out. Even though I am all grown up, they are still helping me out: babysitting, or picking up a necessity there or a necessity here for the kids, taking me out to lunch. My parents are in the midst of remodeling two bathrooms and I thought the Moen Boardwalk 1-Handle bathroom faucet in Spot Resist would be perfect for them. I think it is safe to say they needed a ...
Gold Foil Doily Decoupaged Box
This is sponsored post, but all ideas, images and opinions are 100% my own. I was lucky enough to get a box of Martha Stewart Crafts for some holiday crafting.

Pinterest Ruined Blogs
So maybe the title is a bit dramatic, but it more or less cuts to the chase. I started blogging right around the time Pinterest started. It took a while for it to catch on, of course. I have been a blog reader for a long time. I love reading blogs for lots and lots of reasons: the eye candy, the glimpse into everyday life, the process of updating a home or space, etc. Then Pinterest took off and suddenly ideas that are valid and good aren't being shared, because they don't have a place on ...
Weight Loss: Before & After
As far as this campaign goes, this is my after. My journey is far from over. Hudson is six months old and while I have made progress--I am far from where I want to be. Please be kind, as it takes A LOT of courage to share these photos. I actually was feeling pretty defeated, because all I see is what is left to do--and it is a lot. Putting these pictures side by side and really looking back and thinking about how I felt when I started this journey makes me appreciate how far ...
