For those of you who don't know, I have a 14 year old (yes now 14 as of yesterday) daughter who, when she was younger always was trying to find ways to make money. Literally getting on my computer and googling "ways to make money 10 year old". I'm not kidding. Fast forward, she has now created her own lip balms and is the creator of Honestly Margo, a natural lip balm company. You can see more about it HERE. Anyhoo, she has a limited number … [Read more...]
Fall Layering with ModCloth
Weather like what we've been having definitely calls for layering. I wish it would make up it's mind if it wants to cool off or stay warm, but unfortunately that's not the case. So layering is how I've been going these days, and I really love layering to be quite honest. It's how I travel, for one. And frankly, it's always just smart I think if you want to add to what you're wearing or take things off depending on the high air conditioned … [Read more...]
Taquitos
Say what? Um ya, taquitos. Not the frozen kind. But I made them to be LIKE the frozen kind so that we could have a little snack ready to go when we wanted something like that, but not the frozen ones. I donno what got into me that I was kinda craving them, but ya. I remember seeing my friend Dora make them years ago, but I had totally forgotten, so I literally just kinda thought of what it might be to myself and did it. Hoping for the … [Read more...]

Grooming Goodies
".... and don't forget to wash your face and brush your teeth before bed!" Mother's famous words, right? Well, this weekend marks the celebration of lil miss's birthday in the family. And with that came a small gathering of the girls. Now, as I prepare for a house full of estrogen to sleep over, I'm thinking LORD WHEN DOES THIS END?

Drum Pendant Chandelier
Sometimes changing one thing up in a room can give a completely different look. It could be changing the furniture around. It could be removing something from the space. In this case, I'm adding to my space. I've done something like this before but changed it up instead of adding to it. You can see it HERE. I've had this fabulous light fixture from Luxe Objects now for about 6 … [Read more...]

Glam Girl Gone Camping
Several weeks ago I got an email from school announcing the campout for the 5th graders, and the fact that mine was a boy, I felt a sigh of relief that this would get to be The Mister's turn to volunteer. Oh but NO. They decided to switch things up this year and have the OPPOSITE parent go. Yup. My turn AGAIN. I've been the past 3 years with my daughter, and it was time to buck up again with my son. Granted, I LOVE being with my kids, so … [Read more...]
