Holiday Style
I always feel like the holidays are made for dressing up. I love the sense of whimsy throughout December and it's such a great excuse to dress in ways you wouldn't normally.

Try the 7-Day Switch Up with Viva® Vantage®
With four kids, it can sometimes feel like I don't do anything but clean, and it's never good enough. I'm always looking for ways to cut down on the amount of time I spend cleaning.

I'm especially loving watching the Oscars with my girls, who are very opinionated when it comes to dresses and who should win! I decided that we should do something special and fun for the Oscars, and with ... Read More
Madeline’s Halloween Crafting Tea Party
This post contains sponsored content. I've never felt like I was good at throwing birthday parties, but the girls are getting old enough now that they're asking for parties with friends, so it's time. Madeline turned 7 (!) in October and asked if she could have a tea party, which evolved into a Halloween Crafting Tea Party. When I knew that Madeline wanted to craft, I knew that Oriental Trading was the place to go. Madeline and I looked through the site together and she picked out ... Read More
