I finally have my master closet makeover reveal ready for you! We ran into a couple of issues that held us up a bit longer than I had hoped - one item was out of stock for awhile, and shipment was delayed on another item due to an error. But....it's finally finished, and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out! (This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, or read my full disclosure, click here.) Let's start with a brief (very brief) tour of the 'before,' shall we? I have been wanting to redo this closet for a couple of years now, and it won't be hard to see why. I'm guessing that this closet hadn't been touched since the house was built in the 1960s. There were two clothing bars that ran the length of the closet on either side. Two ... View Post
20 Old Wives Tales Put to the Test
Are baby gender predictors and the old wives tales true? As some of you may already know, I am expecting my second child this coming September. I am currently 16 weeks along and absolutely dying to know if we are having a little boy or a little girl. There is a *possibility* that I will know pretty soon, but only if baby decides to cooperate. If not, I won't know until the beginning of May. For some reason, I feel as if I am much more anxious to know this time than I was the first time around. Maybe it's because I ran into complications last time during the third trimester that landed me in and out of the hospital, as well as on bedrest, for the final month of my pregnancy. On top of that, we had to deal with a huge furniture fiasco, and the nursery ... View Post

Homemade Cadbury Egg Ice Cream with a Chocolate Ribbon
(This post contains affiliate links. For my full disclosure, go here.) When I was younger, my favorite commercial was the Cadbury Bunny Tryouts. All of the animals, including a pig, a lion, a cat, a goat, and a tortoise, have bunny ears on pretending to be the Cadbury bunny. Admittedly, it is still one of my favorites. The lion, in particular, cracks me up every time. "There's only one Cadbury bunny," the commercial states. I would say the same is true of the Cadbury egg. There's only one Cadbury creme egg. So true... With Easter approaching, I've been looking for some yummy, Easter themed treats to put together. I realized that with spring temperatures finally arriving, it was time to dust off my good 'ole ice cream ... View Post
15 Kid-Friendly Ways to Dye Easter Eggs
I have always loved Easter. As a kid, it was all about candy, the Easter bunny, and getting to dye Easter eggs. As an adult, it obviously holds much more meaning than all of that. This doesn't mean, though, that I no longer look forward to all of the fun activities that go along with the holiday. Some of my best memories from Easter are of our annual family "Easter egg hunt." I put that in quotes because we didn't actually hunt for eggs, but for candy. All of my mom's side of the family would get together for dinner on Easter. Then, after dinner, all of the kids had to go upstairs, while the adults hid individual pieces of candy all over the lower level. When they called us down, it was just a free-for-all to see who could find the most. ... View Post
