My Office Makeover Is Complete! {Giveaway}
As you know we recently treated ourselves (okay mainly me) to an office makeover, but if you read my last post you may remember that we were shopping for home office furniture (specifically a book shelf and computer desk).

Extreme Face Painting 50 Step-By-Step Demos
A few days ago I was contacted about reviewing a super cool face painting book, and I couldn't turn it down. I don't do a lot of book reviews because I don't have a lot of time, but when they are picture books with very few words... well, they fit my busy lifestyle! So as you can see above I have been busy already! I had a blast painting two of my four children's faces within an hour of receiving the book. I am by no means an artist (which probably shows) BUT I would even do this to the … [Read more...]
Corny Halloween Crafts #MMsGetCorny #CBias
I was so excited to find out I was chosen to participate in a craft shop and contest using M&M's Candy Corn White Chocolate.

Anywho, I love decorating for Halloween, and we lost most of our decorations last year, so know I'm rocking some super cute new decor! Take a look at the … [Read more...]
Easy & Fun Colored Rice (Pre-School Fun)
