{Good Eats} A Squash Wonderland

Oh My! Do we have squash growing in Our Garden!! This is what I harvested yesterday. Can I just say that this is what I could pick EVERY DAY!?!? Our Garden has gone CRAZY!! I'm starting to look like the Zucchini Lady. If you stop by our house, I'll most likely send you home with one (or 5) too! Which means I've been on the hunt for lots of good...

{Home & Garden} New Laundry Love

Do you have kids? OK, then jeans like these should be familiar, right? Seriously, HOW do kids get their clothes this dirty?? (And I don't want to hear from the peanut gallery about my losing my marbles putting my Punks in white! To me, it's actually the easiest thing to keep clean. But it IS like playing Russian Roulette every time they put their clothes on....). (more...)...

{Good Eats} What we ate last week…

Instead of sharing a meal plan for "What to Eat", I've decided to try sharing "What we Ate". Reason being, our life is ALWAYS CHANGING, and sometimes I make decisions or tweaks to a recipe based on what's in the fridge at the time, or maybe there were more leftovers than I had thought I would have. Whatever the reason, each week it's always a bit of a game. I...

{Family Fun} Every Girl Loves a Pretty Dress

You know when people tell you you should check something out and you completely agree, nod your head, and put it on your mental checklist....and when you finally do check it out, you realize it's been about 2 years since you first heard about it? Yeah, me neither. That's never happened to me. {Yeah, right...} I digress. Last week I was running a few errands outside of my normal bubble...

{OC Local Life} Pure Blu Spa ~ Soothe your soul

A few weeks ago I joined a wonderful group of lifestyle bloggers at Pure Blu Spa, at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel. It's funny how you become so accustomed to your own trained maze and habits, that looking outside that bubble just seems like too much effort. Right?! But sometimes when you do, you can be pleasantly surprised by a fun new discovery. That's what this particular event did for...

{Me Time} Heels as smooth as a baby’s bum!

So I'm kind of into simple, little things that help me, make ME better. Kind of a tongue twister I know, but seriously, how much time do you REALLY spend on you?? You know I'm in love with this toothbrush (and Hubs is too now)....but my other addiction is.... a Foot File I know, I know, I'm so weird. But people I'm telling you, YOU WILL LOVE THIS!! I'm just...

{OC Local Love} The Circus is Here & it’s “Fully Charged”!

My Punks are so into the Circus, it's almost comical! Last year Addie and I made a girls night out of it, grabbing a friend for both of us to see the circus. Addie was 2 years & 4 months and she LOVED it! The show started at 7:30, we went early to see the elephants getting their baths and to enjoy the pre-show (where you get up close and...

{Me Time} So glad I switched!

Congrats Nicole for winning the $25 Visa Giftcard! (Winner was notified by email). Here was Nicole's suggestion: "My older boys have started brushing their teeth while taking a shower. I hand it to them with toothpaste, they brush for a few minutes and hand it back. Works great because they don’t get distracted and they can’t run away from me :)" And guess what? I have another $25 Visa gift...
