An Open Letter From A Homeschooling Mother

An Open Letter From A Homeschooling Mother

I don’t have a degree in teaching, but I’m a teacher. If you would have asked me back in high school what I would be doing in 10 years I would have said being the CEO of my own business and enjoying my life to the fullest. I NEVER would have said homeschooling my 5 children, let alone saying I would have 5 children in the first place. Honestly the thought of homeschooling seemed weird and just sil... Read More »

Why Buying a Nursing Bra Wasn’t a Total Mistake

Why Buying a Nursing Bra Wasn’t a Total Mistake

  Why buying a nursing bra is okay. Sometime last year I was in Target shopping for the ever-so-gracious bra that I seemed to either never fill out, or never fit in. There was always something wrong with them. For example, why is the wire sticking out of the bottom?  Why is there even a wire in my bra? Who makes these? Did this person have big boobs?  I bet this person had no boobs at all. Do... Read More »

Whine Time Wine Time

Whine Time = Wine Time

You probably shouldn’t be reading this if you are against drinking or think that drinking a glass of wine around kids is bad parenting. By the way, if you do happen to feel this way, I highly disagree with you and think you probably need a glass of wine yourself.  And, if you don’t even have kids but have an opinion about this, then you won’t even be heard, because you have NO id...

When You’re First Impression Contains the Word “VAG”!

Everyone Matters When It Comes To Toxic Ingredients

Everyone Matters When It Comes To Toxic Ingredients

  I was a young child in the 60’s and 70’s; the TV series Mad Men depicts perfectly what life was like back then. The times were very vulnerable and trusting of our government for our well being. I watched my Mom daily put on her make up, lipstick and spray her teased hair with heavy hairspray to get dressed for the day.  At night she would lather her face with cold cream to sleep...

Drugstore vs. Department Store Makeup

My Friend, Kymm McLean, is a makeup artist who I work alongside with in the wedding industry and she posted a status that I felt cleared up a lot of questions I’ve always had on makeup, the costs of it, and the chemicals in the makeup, so I thought I would share it with you… Enjoy! Kymm says: I was asked today if you can accomplish a great makeup face with drugstore brands vs. department sto... Read More »
