It's happened, the time has come my babies are out of baby ages and are now toddlers. Time has flown by and this past weekend we celebrated Everly's 3rd birthday and Elle's 2nd. This year our party was everything pink and princess. Both girls are completely princess obsessed at the moment so of course I had to take advantage of their current love and create a princess party fit for the 2 cutest little princesses around. Not only was a princess party requested but specifically 3 things: Elsa and Anna dresses, goldfish, and a piata (pinata). And, in true mom fashion all 3 desires were checked off there list and some were much easier to ... READ MORE >>
The One With The Friendship
For those of you that watched our vlog yesterday, you know we talked a little about what it meant to be a real friend. Or, perhaps you were too distracted by my {awesome} hair accessory to notice what I was saying, but whatever. We talked about friendship and how to cultivate deep and authentic friendships and today I want to touch a little more on that. Or really, I want to brag on the awesome and authentic friendship that I have with this gal…. That’s right, this little post is dedicated to Channing. Channing and I met at church camp when we were 15 years old. Well, I was probably 16 because as she likes to remind me, I am so ... READ MORE >>

Pinterest Tested, Mom Approved: Food
Hi, my name is Michelle and it has been 27 minutes since my last pin. Now everyone is unison, "Hi Michelle". I feel with some certainty that I am not the only Pinterest addict among us. I can't be. I love Pinterest and everything it has to offer. It has been the source of many fabulous meals for our not so little family as well as some fabulous home decor like my recent DIY Faux Pallet Wall Art. One thing that drives me absolutely nuts though is when I set out to make "the best ever" blah blah blah, and spend the time in the kitchen cooking and it turns out to be a F-L-O-P! Then I have wasted food. I have hungry kiddos and a ... READ MORE >>
