I just discovered this little app called... oohh... what is it... oh, yeah - Instagram and it's fantastically fun!  I know I'm a little behind the curve here but in all fairness - I just got an iPhone again last August after a three year hiatus... This is going to be a great way to keep in touch... new items, sales, coupons, giveaways and more!  Lots of

Hard to believe it's 2014 already!  Where does the time go?  With a new year, comes a fresh start and a whole calendar, schedule and to-do list to fill up.   Please enjoy this freebie typography made from a photograph I took on top of Angel's Landing in Mt.

Our youngest daughter turned one year old last month and what a year it has been!  I wanted to take a moment and share her story, our story, and the incredible people who have helped us along the way. Super excited baby in a pumpkin!! Juliet was our "surprise" baby...SURPRISE!  We were told we would never have children on our own for various reasons so having a third baby was

UPDATE:  So far, so good!  Running has been going very well, mindfully eating has been challenging with how busy we've been but overall - I'm moving along!  Actually, I'm less than one pound away from my first goal.  Very excited - new workout pants - here I come! Today I want to share with you some of the apps, almost all FREE, I've been using to help me reach my goals.&

In honor of Yosemite National Park and the fact it is still dangerously on fire due to an irresponsible camper, I would like to share some of my favorite photographs from a visit.  We did a few hikes, ate lunch at the The Ahwahnee Lodge and just stood in awe under these massive stone giants.  We plan to go back one day and hike Half Dome, fingers crossed!   In 2007, my husband and

Welcome to My Fitness Journey Journal! I've gone back and forth over writing this post but since I have already written it a dozen times in my mind, I figure - WHY NOT! I never imagined this blog becoming a journey of health/fitness and transformation but what better place to share my commitment!  Hopefully, by sharing the ups and downs, being vulnerable and honest with myself and

I love fonts, scripts, and typography!  The way each letter appears and relates to one another is very specific and holds a lot of meaning.  There is so much emotion in a script.  You can type the same thing over and over yet it can produce a different feeling each time in a new script. Installing new fonts is so easy!  I literally have 100's I've collected.  One

Basil is probably my most favorite herb.  Fresh or dried, it's an asset to any kitchen!  If you properly prune your basil plant, it will continue to grow and produce those yummy leaves we all love.  I've lost a few plants over the years due to improper pruning so I have made it a real mission to keep my basil plant healthy.  Pruning or clipping basil must to done

I'm always on the lookout for new, fun things for my kids and these "fun sponges" did the trick!  They are perfect for the pool, bath tub, around the yard, anywhere your willing to let water fly.  My girls are too little for water balloons but with these fun sponges, or spongeez as they call them, they are able to toss, play, and splash!

Happy Friday! Here's a FREEBIE plus a How- to!  I love customizing anything, everything, you name it.  I've been working on personalizing my blog quite a bit lately and wanted to share some social media icons I created.  It's so simple to install them and they have transparent backgrounds so they blend with your current background. click to start download After your

Ever see those really awesome word collages and think, I want one of those... well, today I want to revisit one of my most favorite websites and tools:  www.Tagxedo.com Tagxedo turns words -- "famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters -- into a visually stunning word cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies

I've been using eMeals.com for almost 6 months now and wanted to review it for you!  I stumbled upon a groupon I could not pass up, 50% off a year membership ($29), so I had to try it out.  eMeals.com is an online meal planning service offering weekly plans for a variety lifestyles... vegan, low fat, carb control, clean eating, to name a few.  My family went with the 4-6

This is such an easy project with huge pay offs!  Your upcycling something and keeping it out of the landfills, it's custom to you, you'll get lots of compliments, and it's so inexpensive! You will need: - A set or collection of vintage kitchen/cooking utensils - Acrylic paint of your choice - Paint brush - Paper the size of your wall area - Tiny 1" nails and hammer - Sandpaper (

Today I want to give a big shout out to my grandmother, Nanny, on her 90th birthday.  Happy Birthday, Nanny! circa 1960 She was an incredible, brave woman and I can only begin to imagine the things she had seen in her life.  She overcame so much and accomplished even more.  She taught the importance of faith, forgiveness, and love, how to sew and garden, showed me

Today's review is about a recent experience and purchase with the online company thredUP.  My sister in law sent me a coupon code and since I have some many little cuties to dress, I just had to check it out for myself.   thredUP.com is an online consignment shop where you can buy and sell high quality clothing for the whole family.

Today I'm excited to share a project I have wanted to do for so long...get my spice drawer organized so I can actually find the spices I'm looking for!  I have a spice drawer in my kitchen which isn't deep enough for the average spice jars, so they all end up laying there on top of each other.  Well, not anymore!  This project will also work for spice racks!  All you
