When life gets sticky, sweaty, and smelly, most of us reach for our preferred brand of conventional cleaner. These are the bottles we see stocked in every grocery store, and their commercials tell us every day how their formulas “kill germs” and “eliminate odors.” That’s all fine and dandy, but there’s something they’re not telling […] More
Most of our favorite snacks are, unfortunately, not really keto-friendly. Think cheese crackers, energy bars, or mini pretzels. So, when hunger strikes in-between keto meals, you’ll need to think outside the snacking box. Lucky for you, the number of noshes you can enjoy on this low-carb lifestyle isn’t all too bad. These keto snacks are […] More
My entire life, I’ve always had a white girl booty. Despite the recent trends of the big booty workouts, there is no way my butt will ever look even remotely close to big or plump. (But to be honest, I don’t really want it to, I just want it to look good in my jeans!) […] More
The joys of a new baby are endless. The snuggles! The new baby smell! But we’d be lying if we didn’t say new babies come with their fair share of challenges, as well. One of the biggest challenges facing new moms is breastfeeding. It may be natural and it may be beautiful, but honey, it […] More
The registration is in, and you’ve marked your calendar, but now what? Whether you’re an experienced runner or not, taking on 26.2 is a huge feat. It’s so huge, you might be thinking, “What the heck did I get myself into?!” Marathons are one of those things that sounds great in theory, but the intimidation […] More
Before I had kids, I was a completely different person. I embrace motherhood as my authentic self, and I don’t try to fit into a mold of what I am “supposed” to be, but rather, what I want to be. My late mother was by no means a traditional mother, and I applaud her for […] More
When it comes to dinner, I’m not always motivated to whip up a fancy meal that requires lots of brain power. I am usually good at planning ahead when it comes to dinner, but sometimes, casseroles are a great way to get the family fed and not have to spend hours doing it. We’ve put […] More
I want to preface this article by saying that I am not a medical professional and that the advice I am giving here to others is strictly from personal experience. A formal diagnosis of autism is heavy news, no matter how strong you are. Autism is not something that has a cure nor will it […] More
It’s hard to not look at a creation that you’re impressed with and hope that you can’t make your own version of it. Last year, Netflix even came out with a show dedicated just to bakers who couldn’t exactly nail perfect replications, appropriately titled, Nailed It! Sadly, many of us can relate. Because often times, […] More
Whether it’s a shower or a sprinkle, any time you are celebrating an expectant mother and her unborn child, there’s typically a cake involved.

Every so often I allow myself to dream of brighter days, ones that involve remodeling my small 1990’s style kitchen. Living in Southern California pretty much means that if your house was built in the 90’s, you’re guaranteed to have plenty of honey oak cabinets and even more white, tiled countertops. The oak cabinets instantly […] More

I […] More
Ever get tired of the endless amounts of candy that take over your home around the holidays?

Spring and Easter will soon be here and you know what that means: craft time! It’s time to break out those craft boxes, head to the craft stores, and start making all the adorable Spring and Easter decorations you can.

A new month means a new wreath in my house (or should I say, on my front door!). I’m very obsessed that my neighbors know what holiday they should be celebrating, so I always make sure my choice of wreath reflects the new season. This time of year means I need a Valentine’s Day wreath, […] More
Having healthy time away from your kids with your partner or spouse is necessary to being a sane human being, but often times it gets put on the back burner due to time, finances or just pure exhaustion. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a great date night! Here’s a […] More
I’m always one to have a festive wreath on my door, even though I normally save the big decorating for the Winter holidays. A wreath is a super simple way to get in the season- no matter what time of year. It’s also a great way to try your hand at crafting! I’ve rounded up […] More
Congratulations on you’re pregnancy! While pregnancy comes with plenty of joy, it can also take its toll on your body. Nothing beats that feeling of a new life and feeling flutters for the first time, but those experiences are usually coupled with sore muscles and back, and let’s not forget aching feet! Everyone experiences pregnancy […] More
Even though Valentine’s Day is all about showing people in your life that you love them, it’s also very much about the candy and treats. Just saying. This year, instead of showering your special someone with boxed candy and store-bought cookies, why not make a special dessert, straight from the heart? We’ve rounded up 10 […] More
If you love the magical world of Harry Potter, chances are you’ve pined for a piping hot mug of butterbeer. The Hogsmeade Village beverage was actually left up the imagination for us readers, but we’d like to think it involves the silky taste of butter and probably some butterscotch, too. If you’re craving for some […] More
When it comes to New Year’s, I often feel like I’m crossing the finish line of the holiday marathon. I don’t have the energy to put in a lot of effort for New Year’s Eve because all my love and passion has just gone into Christmas. And I’m OK with that. But for those of […] More
