Am I the only mom that got hit with holy crap, Easter is this weekend and I haven’t bought a darn thing? Nothing like being a major procrastinator! I’ve sat down today and rounded up some Easter basket ideas for the kids that will still arrive in the knick of time thanks to Amazon Prime.…
Sometimes deciding what stocking stuffers to snag can be a little hectic. When I was growing up, everything in our stocking was actually picked out by Mrs. Claus. I always thought that was pretty cool. I mean, I guess technically there’s a pretty good chance all stockings are stuffed by “Mrs. Claus”, if you know…
Sometimes it can be tough coming up with presents you’d like to have under the Christmas tree for yourself. Often times mom’s get wrapped up in the gift of giving and don’t feel they need or want anything. And that’s 100% ok! But, just in case your in-laws or your husband keep asking for gift…

There’s always one spot I know I can count on in our little hometown to make sure I’m covered for teacher gifts. I think my favorite part of gift shopping at the Fashion Shoppe is that they wrap them prettier than I do at home with left over paper and a sharpie in the corner…
I always save stocking stuffers for my last gifts to buy. Even though I often struggle coming up with ideas, it’s easier to throw some necessities in there and call it a day. It’s kind of a rule of thumb that if you’re low on toothpaste or deodorant, you better not ask and wait till…
I’m sure if you’ve been following me for a hot minute you’ll know that I run off of coffee and wine. When I’m sick, throw in some hot tea and that’s about it. Now, you know the saying, “You are who you surround yourself with”? Well, when you surround yourself around fellow “drinkers”, it can…
The time of year is here when we have to put that Mrs. Clause hat on and get a start on holiday shopping. Kicking it off with ideas for the little guys and gals on your list! A few favorites that have always been a hit with my kiddos over the years! Sleeping Bags –…
