Mom Monday {hot list}

These are the items that are on top of my hot list lately. As you can see some of these are really hard to resist! Something I have been coveting for a while are these custom portraits by Tuesday Mourning. You send in a photo for reference. I would LOVE to have one of these of my little Piper. So fabulous!

It got me thinking, bringing our meals outdoors (al fresco) during these summer...READ MORE

I used 1 really ripe peach, 3 tablespoons of organic plain yogurt, and a tiny drizzle of alcohol free vanilla. Blend it all together, place it in your pop maker or molds, and wait...READ MORE

Wooden Bead DIY Round Up

Happy Mom Monday my friends! I must say my head is still spinning from the weekend excitement. We had Piper's 2nd birthday party on Saturday and it was beyond my wildest dreams.

I will be sharing the results in the weeks to come, but in the meantime I thought I would share the wooden bead trend. It's popping up everywhere, and...READ MORE
