Home Makeover | Our New La-Z-Boy Living Room
by 33 Comments
Home Makeover | Our New La-Z-Boy Living Room Last summer my family visited our local La-Z-Boy Showroom to pick out a sectional. Our living room is quite large, but we just didn’t have enough seating for our family of six to sit comfortably. We actually did receive our sectional a few months later. That particular sectional had a problem with the chaise not connecting to the other pieces properly leaving the back of the piece crooked. … [Read more...]

by 6 Comments
Sagging Boobs, Furniture Syndrome & Mommy Makeovers I have always had a slight body image issue that I’ve learned to deal with over the years. I’m more than accepting of the aging process... you know, things like crows feet, laugh lines... stuff like that. My main issue is that I am more than aware of my body’s flaws and I do my best to work on them and cover them up with flattering clothing. The combination of gravity and the fact that … [Read more...]

Carters Little Layette Collection For Spring I have always loved Carters clothing... I’ve purchased them for all four of our children starting at birth with their nightgowns.

I can always count on Carters to have clothing for holidays and special … [Read more...]

Homemade Hummus Recipe | Super Bowl Anyone? Hummus has been a staple in our household for several years now. I was very resistant, at first, to try it. I mean seriously... ground up chickpeas?

There are many “good” store bought options available, but I … [Read more...]

Clean Eating | Slow Cooker Lentil & Rice Casserole Recipe
by 14 Comments
Clean Eating | Slow Cooker Lentil & Rice Casserole Recipe I found this recipe the other day while looking for another soup to share. The original poster intended for this to be a “soup”, but with barely any liquid remaining in our batch... we dubbed it a casserole. This recipe has hints of Indian food without the knock you over spice. Everyone loved it and there were a few “words” over the last left-over. Print 5.0 from … [Read more...]
