It's week 7 of Stop and Smell the Roses! This week I'm sharing two of my favorite beauty products that I have been using since college! I wish I could say college was yesterday. Pssst. More like yesterday times 2,920 days. Do the math. It's a good 8 years. More like 10 if I start from freshman

One of my favorite personal finance blogs (besides my husband's), Get Rich Slowly, has an annual video contest. In years past I have really enjoyed watching all the entries! I've also gotten some really great personal finance tips too! This year, since I have been doing more videos, I thought it

Remember how I told you about our new basketball goal? Well, what I didn't tell you?  It may have taken my husband an entire Saturday to put it together. I always love when he decides that he wants to start a project like this because it's VERY rare folks. VERY VERY rare. I've told you once and

It's week 6 of Stop and Smell the Roses! Two things: 1. I feel like I am becoming more comfortable just talking behind the camera. What about you guys? Are you feeling less freaked out each week to film yourself? 2. This is the first week that I decided to film a vlog straight out of bed! I may

If you are my neighbor and you're offended when my children are running around in the yard pants-less...BEWARE...they will now pee in your grass. I promise. A big fat pinky promise to be exact. And I'd like to say that I will be that mom that will chase them down and say "Absolutely not boys. You
