Mom Life

I am a lover of avocados no matter what way they are served. So delicious!  As I am not a big meat eater I find that I will add avocados to salads as sides etc instead of adding meats.  So when my mother in law introduced me to these baked avocados I was hooked.  The […]

I did a crazy amount of cleaning yesterday.  I call it my “spring clean”.  On top of that I even organized our storage room!  It feels good to get some stuff done.  I love how my house smells when the windows are open and everything is clean.  The past couple of years I have been

I’m super excited about how my lamps turned out this past week so I had to share.  I initially thought that I was going to add these lamps to my garage sale pile.  They were just the wrong color and didn’t go with the theme I wanted in our room.  Many of my friends know

I have to post about my Mexican style quinoa since I basically eat it every week.  It is also so easy!  I am not the type to make any kind of complex meal.  I tend to eat this for lunch.  I make up a batch and pop it in the microwave for the next few

We have been doing a lot of projects around the house this weekend which inspired me to give a little tour of one of my past projects.  When I put together C’s nursery it was mainly DIY.  Really, the only things in his nursery that aren’t DIY are his crib and the rocker.  Some of the

I realized that I have been lacking a bit on cleaning these days (like a lot!).  I decided I needed to start somewhere since it looks like a tornado has gone through our house.  I decided I would start with Cade’s room.  I went through the basics vacuuming, dusting, and picking up and realized that

Even though it is “Spring” it doesn’t feel like it around here.  I’m trying not to dwell on the fact so I thought I should do something about it and start my herb garden.  I need a little indoor garden to help with thoughts of warmer weather.  I have always wanted to have a herb

So I have been rather lazy.  I enjoy sitting on the couch and eating chocolate but who doesn’t???  Now that spring is coming around (hopefully) I need to get myself back into shape.  That means dropping my last couple lingering pounds and doing a little toning. I’m not aiming to have a “killer” body by

Now that all of the Easter candy is out at the stores one of my weaknesses is shining through when it comes to the Reese’s eggs.  I love them!  I try my best to avoid them at the stores but every once in a while end up with them in my cart.  Now that I

Let me start this off by saying by no means am I musical.  I can’t hold a note.  I’ve failed at the piano and saxophone.  However, my baby LOVES music.   Music benefits for babies has been one of the important things I have learned with C.  C and I have been going to a

I’m self admittedly not much of a reader.  I always want to get into reading I just never do.  Even though I don’t read I didn’t want to neglect C’s exposure to books. Baby’s brains are developing so quickly, the first year of life is critical.  Research shows that babies who are read to in the

I was fortunate to learn a new trick on a very simple way to clean my makeup brushes this weekend from makeup extraordinaire Shawna Rengo. After being scolded for my awful looking makeup brushes I got my lesson.  There are many reasons that your makeup brushes should be cleaned.  The big things for me were
