Thank you to Lamps Plus for sponsoring this post. I was provided product for review but as always all opinions are my own. The bathroom is officially finished, which makes it the first room in the house I think! This weekend my husband and I added the finishing touch on all the changes we've made-we replaced the builder grade lighting with … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to receive a new Moen Kiran faucet with one stipulation-that I install it myself! Because our home is less than a year old I didn't need a faucet for our kitchen but as soon as I heard "new faucet" I immediately knew that my … [Read more...]

It's getting to be that time of year-you know what time I'm talking about-wedding season! This year my step-sister is getting married so I get to have my own little part of the hysteria. You see, my husband and I were married during his two weeks of leave from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan. The dates of his leave kept changing and we … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by iBulb. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you notice all the flowers in my new office I revealed last week? I'm so anxious for spring that I went out and bought a few potted tulips to brighten up my space. I love buying potted bulbs instead of cut flowers in the spring, they give me the same color but last longer and … [Read more...]

If you've been around here for a while you may have heard me mention that my husband and I used to live in Italy. It was when we were dating and first married (ie kid-free) and it was the most amazing experience! Our third real date was actually me flying to Venice to visit him (he was stationed near there in the Army and we were long distance … [Read more...]
Did you watch the Big Game on Sunday? I did (whether I liked it or not!) and of course had to use the occasion as an excuse to create and extra special dish to fill the bellies of all of our football fanatics. We had planned on having a party but it had to be cancelled at the last minute. That was no reason not to make at least some of the yummy … [Read more...]
I've tried in the past to plan out my meals and have failed miserably. I always forget something at the store and end up going three times a week to pick up the forgotten item (and then make a few impulse buys) or I don't plan specifically enough and get caught at 5pm knowing I'm making chicken but having no idea what kind. One of my New Year's … [Read more...]
Lately I've been wavering on needing more color in my home. I tend to gravitate towards neutrals pretty consistently but have managed to pop color in my accessories occasionally. Recently I saw another blogger's post about Lamps Plus and their new Color + Plus™ lamps and coordinating shades and I loved the idea of using lamps as another way … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I was recently challenged by the folks over at Dollar General Gift Center to show my Christmas wrapping prowess on the frugal budget of $10. Never one to turn down a dare I accepted! Ten dollars goes a long way at Dollar … [Read more...]
Is it me or do they days get more and more packed with obligations, errands, and stress as Christmas approaches? I get to a certain point where I just have to step back and remember what the season is all about-family, friends, and remembering our blessings. This year I'm horribly behind on my Christmas shopping. My husband is the worst for me … [Read more...]
