A while back I was at Hobby Lobby and saw these paper mache eggs for cheap, cheap, cheap! I threw a bunch in our basket and thought, "Hmm...we can make some fun Easter crafts with these". Weeks later the eggs were still in their Hobby Lobby bag waiting to have their full potential realized. With the use of Modge Podge, tissue paper and glitter I more or less decoupaged the eggs. I just slathered on some Modge Podge, stuck some torn pieces of tissue paper and Modge Podged on ...
FAMILY / HOME LIFE
Living With Kids and Their Stuff
One of the biggest changes that comes with life with kids is the stuff. If you have kids, you probably realized that about five seconds into your baby shower. Umm...where is all this stuff going to go? I'm not gonna lie, I do a little happy dance when the bouncy chair can be retired to the basement. Don't be fooled though.

Wedding Crashing MOH Style

The fact it was St. Patrick's day makes her that much ...

Of course the morning was crazy hectic. By the end of it I don't even know what we threw in the car. Thank god the in-laws let us borrow ...
How I Came to be a SAHM
I have always wanted to stay at home with my children. There are few things in life I have ever been so sure of. This could stem from myself never having to go to daycare or a sitter. I grew up at home, with my mom and my three siblings. It is the only life I knew. It was a good life. My husband also grew up at home, with his mom, and his two siblings. We were on the same page. We both wanted me to be able to stay at home with our children. Obviously, we envisioned having a lot ...
