The multiple times that I brought up getting a dog, my husband completely shot me down. To be honest if he had his way, we would not have gotten Coco. Even though he has come around and loves her too. When my mom got me my puppy for Christmas, I was completely overjoyed. Really, I had no clue what it would take to be a dog parent. I did know that after having two kids, I knew how to take care of someone else, so it couldn’t be that hard. There are so many things to learn when it...

Are you looking for some fun family ideas since we are staying at home now a days? Well I have a great one for you! Ford challenged us to create our own drive in movie night at the house last weekend, and it was so much fun. It’s actually not expensive to get a projector and screen off Amazon. Once you have those two supplies; you are set up for a summer of family fun. I couldn’t exactly drive the cars around to the back of the house to have an actual drive in movie. However, I made the...

Good Morning Friends! I wanted to share a full tutorial on how I made the DIY cardboard box cars for our drive in movie night. Below are all of the step-by-step instructions on how to assemble your own cardboard car. Step 1: To assemble the DIY cardboard box cars you will need cardboard boxes; I used these 18 x 24 ones from Lowes that I already had sitting in the garage.

I hope you have been having a productive week. I’m super happy that it’s almost the weekend. Since, I have been home so much, I have been trying to come up with some filling and healthy snacks. I randomly found some bags of frozen pineapple hidden in my freezer, which prompted the creation of this recipe. I even added in two of my daily supplements, which makes it easier for me to get my daily intake of everything I need. It’s a 3 ingredient green smoothie, but I used 2 extra optional items in mine. So, originally I made...

I’m not really a big dessert person, but who doesn’t like something light and refreshing in time for summer. I wanted to come up with a small personalized dessert that would be perfect to serve at a backyard BBQ, or even for a ladies brunch. This strawberry angel food cupcake is the perfect mix of light and fruity. The frosting is actually made with cool whip, so it’s very light and refreshing. This recipe only takes a few ingredients and will take you less than an hour to make everything including cooling time for your cupcakes. First I set...

Happy Manic Monday! Can you believe we are into week six of social distancing? This is my 6th Monday working from home as well. I have been really enjoying finding new things to do at home, or being able to make time to rediscover things. Today I wanted to share some more of my favorite things that I have been doing and using this past week. I hope these give you a bit of inspiration for your own home quarantine. TIE-DYE Tie-dye is so in for 2020 and people are wearing it from their PJ’s and lounge wear, to...

Last year, I started going to a new coffee shop near my house called Foxtail. They are a local chain and have some creative lattes. One that I tried a few months ago, was a honey vanilla latte. This was a seasonal drink and disappeared from the menu eventually. Since, I have been trying to make all of my coffee at home now, I came up with my own latte that’s even more delicious. I had a bottle of lavender simple syrup that I never used. So, I created a honey lavender latte with a creamy foam milk top...
