Thrift store Gems: Salwar Kameez

I found this beautiful salwar kameez which I originally thought was a Sari at the thrift store a few months back for only 6 bucks. I almost forgot about it, until Vayda snatched it out the closet and asked to put it on her last week. The sun was shining and her curls were popping so…

Decorate this Space Blog Series: Foyer

It’s been about 9 months since we’ve moved into our dream home and you’d think that I would’ve had enough time to decide how I want things to look but I don’t.  When it comes to making decisions about decorating I am the worst! Scratch that when it comes to making decisions about anything I…

This past weekend we took a much-anticipated road trip to Washington DC for the very first time.

Turkeys and Beamers Don’t Mix

Yesterday was supposed to be a normal day. In fact, it was my “free” day. Yesterday was supposed to be what I like to call a glory day. Tuesdays are one of the 2 days a week that I can do whatever I please because all of my kids are in school.  I had leftovers scheduled…

I Ain’t Got Time to Clip Coupons

Yes I know Horrible Terrible Awful English but it’s the truth though. This post is sponsored by Groupon but the content and all opinions are my own. I’ll be honest with you, I’m not much of a coupon clipper and I’m pretty sure that has to do with the fact that I don’t have time…

I Hate Making Meal Plans

I Hate Making Meal Plans. Why can’t the folks in this house  survive off pistachios and tea, I can. Yesterday my 4-year old had the nerve to ask me “Why are you making that AGAIN?”  My response “Because you can’t cook yet”. He tried it. via GIPHY   I hate everything about meal plans; I…
