I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s. We spent it with all my family at home, including my parents and our dear friends, the R. family, visiting. They’ve traveled to 2 different states and 3 of our homes to spend New Year’s Eve with us. It’s such a fun tradition and we look forward to…
It’s hard to believe that 2014 is over, isn’t it? (Tell me I’m not the only one that feels like she blinked and 2014 was over!) While I’m focusing on spending time with my family this week, I thought it would be fun to look back at the ten most popular organizing posts I shared in 2014 (before I…

I enjoy sharing a small gift with a friend or family member to let them know I’m thinking of them. With this being breast cancer awareness month, I have girl power on the brain and wanted to share an easy DIY notepad with a couple of my girlfriends to let them know I care about them….
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for LISTERINE. I received samples for this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Make this adorable diy cup sleeve from a recycled sweater. Gift it together with a gift card to a local coffee shop. It makes a great gift and is perfect for breast cancer awareness month.
