DIY Embroidery Hoop Hair Clip Holder (Tutorial}

I think I had 5 clips the entire time I was growing up.  My daughter has dozens.  While they are admittedly adorable, they also drive me crazy when I can’t find the one I’m looking for or when one lands on the floor and gets stepped on.  So, a few years ago we got a … Read more

Step2 Corvette Room Organizer {review}

I adore my kids, and I love *most* of their toys.  I just hate when their toys are all over my house.  While toy boxes are one solution, I find that their favorite toys tend to get buried in a big box and then they dump out the entire contents to get that one beloved … Read more

Cinderella Diamond Edition on DVD & Blu-ray


Cinderella Diamond Edition

Who doesn’t love a Cinderella story?  Growing up, Disney’s Cinderella was one of my absolute favorite movies, something I would watch over and over again with my sisters as we sang along and danced.  In fact, I can still recite just about half of the movie in its entirety, which I’m hoping eventually comes up in a game of trivia at some point so I can wow everyone with my amazing Cinderella-memorizing powers.  

There was no doubt I’d eventually get Cinderella for my kids as well, the question was just which edition and format to get.  Making the decision to switch to Blu-ray for all of our kids movies, I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Cinderella in Blu-ray for quite some time now.

Saying Goodbye to a Great Man

This last weekend was incredibly rough as we all prepared to say goodbye to a truly wonderful man and an amazing grandpa/great-grandpa.  While I don't do many personal posts here on the site, I thought I would share a picture to honor my Grandpa Doc who passed away last night surrounded by loved ones.  I … Read more

Skineez Skincarewear is Shape Wear and So Much More

I’m lucky that I’ve grown up in an age that has never had to wear corsets.  Beyond the standard slips, camisoles and regular undergarments, my generation has been fortunate that shape wear is not a daily requirement.  But above that, we are very lucky that the shape wear we do have is nothing like what … Read more
