Re-Doing the Front Garden

In the summer of 2016 we bought a house outside of Austin, TX on 5.5 acres. I was ready for land, animals and NO HOA. We spent the first 6 months remodeling the inside of the house (check the pictures below). Now I’m ready to get started on the outside. I HATE the front of…

Book Review: The Life We Bury

I spend at least 2.5 hours a day in the car schlepping my kids to and from school so I listen to books. I typically listen to a TON of non-fiction (plus I love to listen to podcasts) so one of my New Year’s Resolutions was to listen to one fiction book each month. One…

Road Trip Resource Guide

It’s that time of year again…when you load everyone up into the car and go out in search of adventure. I remember going on long road trips as a kid…of course things were a little more lax back then. We would sit pretty much any where in the car (facing backwards most of the time…

Potty Training Tips for Girls

This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine. Two years ago I wrote a post with some really good potty training tips, but this little girl has a mind of her own and it’s going to take being…

Drinkmarx – Your Link to Your Drink {Giveaway}

Last month I was contacted by a nice lady named Christine Holland. She told me she had a cool product that helps kids keep track of their drinks (a MAJOR problem in our house) and would I want to review it. Since I have three kids in school…I jumped at the chance.

My 5 Favorite Quotes About Gratitude

This year my focus is on gratitude. I want to have an “attitude of gratitude.” And I’m not gonna lie…it’s a struggle for me some days. I get so wrapped up in the minutia of the day that I forget to be thankful for it. So this year you’ll see LOTS of posts about being…
