I just got a sneak peek of a new show coming to Lifetime called, Pretty Wicked Moms. If you love reality TV and what many may call a guilty pleasure, you are going to love this. I found the first episode quite fascinating. As a mom, it was very interesting to see a different perspective of motherhood. The show follows a group of moms in Atlanta, each mom with her own parenting style. There is a whole lot of competition and judgement. It got me wondering what a reality TV show following me would ...

Simplifying with 40 Bags 40 Days Challenge
I am joining in on White House, Black Shutters 40 Bags, 40 Day Challenge.
