To be brutally honest, last year I completely over did Christmas. I bought WAY to many gifts for my family too the point that my son still has some unopened toys in his closet even today. My son is my first child and only child. As you could have imagined, I got so caught up in trying to make sure that he had everything he could ever want that I, myself, lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas and the holiday spirit. The true spirit of Christmas is something I would so much rather pass on and share with my family than material items. This year, to make sure I don't get sucked back into all of the commercialism of Christmas, I decided to take after my friend Corrine from Wonder Mom Keep Reading
DIY Family Game Night Trophy
Family Game Night is an absolute favorite in our house! Is it in yours? If not, then maybe you should add this fun traveling award as an addition to see if you can spark up your game night! I grew up in a house that didn't have a ton of money, but we had lots of LOVE to share. We spent a lot of time at home and together, which was great. In this now super-fast paced society, we need more TIME for our families without bells & whistles going off from the electronic devices that are a part of our everyday life. One of our favorite activities as a family was family game night. We loved playing all sorts of games, from hippos that were hungry, to trapping a mouse, to making words (not Keep Reading

All Natural Winter Bliss Body Scrub
It's official! I have put together for you one of THE BEST body scrubs for the cold winter season. This Winter Bliss Body Scrub will leave your skin feeling soft and glowing all over. Whether you’re dealing with greasy, ashy, or scaly “lizard” skin, this scrub is for you! As the cooler weather rolls in, we’re more prone to dry, rough skin. Our summer-kissed tans fade, the moisture in the air dissipates, and our bodies beg for a little more love. Winter wreaks havoc on our skin, and body scrubs are great for exfoliating. They slough away dead skin cells and nourish the new skin beneath. Exfoliation is an important step to bringing our winter body back to its original softness. This Keep Reading
