When my kids were young, I used to buy them canvases and let them paint their little hearts out. I have their masterpieces sprinkled throughout the house. Well, I have this wall I've been wanting something new and abstract in my family room. Remember last November when I began this family room and bar makeover? Here it is. Ya what month are we in? Yup.

A Fashionable Friday
Most of you know I wear many hats. The biggest hat I wear is my mommy hat. That means juggling and prioritizing.

Unique is key here. I think it's a … [Read more...]

Loooooooove
What a way to end the week.... celebrating love. We shouldn't have to DESIGNATE a day for this. I think showing our love for others shouldn't be for one day only. Anyone who knows me personally knows I'm a passionate person. I'm very affectionate and show my feelings. If I love you, you KNOW it. And as dorky as I am, even some of my girlfriends and I say "I love you." to each other .... The Mister overheard me one day on the phone and … [Read more...]
Yolanda’s Fridge
Nothing like GREAT reality TV, seeing what's hot (and what's NOT!) on the Real Housewives. I LOVE LOVE em! Not only do we get to see their fab wardrobes, what they wear (again, fashion DOs and DON'Ts!!) and how they style their home.

Well, lovers, lemme … [Read more...]
