Stitch Fix #2
I received my second Stitch Fix a while back and thought I would share it with you. (If you want to learn more about what Stitch Fix is, check out my first Stitch Fix Post) I love seeing other people’s fixes, and it’s interesting to see what they keep and what they send back. So, I thought I’d do things a little differently this time. Here’s what came in my box: The items are: 1. Jacqui Striped … Read entire article »

Sell-Free, Simple School Fundraiser – Shoparoo!
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I really do use Shoparoo, and I really am excited about it, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing about it! All other opinions expressed herein are my own, too. I have a confession to make. I do not like school fundraisers. I abhor spending money on over-priced things that I don’t really want so that a portion of the proceeds will go to my school. It irritates the heck out of me that my kids … Read entire article »

Back to School: What Day is It? {giveaway}
Disclosure: Mead provided me with a free On-the-Go Family planner (although I already own three of them). All opinions contained within this post are my own. It’s Wednesday, and my Facebook stream has been full of “First Day of School” pictures for a whole week as friends all over the country send their kiddos back to the books and we all return to a more normal and probably more busy schedule. Sometimes these new schedules are … Read entire article »

Making Bad Things Good
As a mother, it’s my job to make bad things good for my kids. Whether that’s pointing out the silver lining or life lesson in a tough situation, comforting them after a bad dream with some snuggles, fixing a broken toy, or healing up injuries and illness with some first aid or TLC. But, that’s not what this post is about. It’s about sweet potatoes. And packing lunch. And chips. You see, my kids think that sweet … Read entire article »
