This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M Smucker Company . The opinions and text are all mine. How, oh how has the time flown by so quickly that we are but two short weeks away from spring break?!

We are so lucky to be celebrating this Valentine's Day on a cruise through the Caribbean. (I'm sorry, it's okay to hate me a little, I don't blame you.) And because of that my kiddos are missing out on their classroom parties. While this seems like a no brainer, easy enough trade to me as a fully rational adult, my little ones were bummed that they wouldn't have the opportunity to pass out … [Read more...]

And that's a good thing for me...I love wreaths. This has given me the opportunity to make multiple new wreaths and quickly update my decor for each … [Read more...]

Free Printable Meal Tracker

On Monday I shared a free printable fitness tracker to help you achieve and stay on top of your fitness goals, but in my world, that goes hand in hand with how I fuel my body. I am most certainly one of those people who justifies all sorts of crazy meals and treats to myself. Like, "Well, I ran 5 miles today, so I can absolutely eat an entire pizza and then have a handful of cookies for dessert. … [Read more...]

DIY Fur Wreath

When I painted my fireplace mantel a couple months ago, I changed the decor around a bit as well. I went from having a large mirror as the focal point to using a pallet sign and an old window. I love it, but it has been stressful for me at the same time. I feel the pressure to hang a wreath on the window. And not just any wreath, but one that I really love because I know that we will all … [Read more...]

Thanks to the partnership I have with Discount Tire on this post, I am sharing my recycled tire DIY project for holiday gift inspiration. Do you ever drive around town on garbage or recycle day and see things that people have set out on their curb and think to yourself, "Man, there is still a lot of life in that. If only someone would paint it or repurpose it, it could be amazing." I do … [Read more...]

Thanks to AMOPÉ PEDI PERFECT™ for allowing me the opportunity to try out their awesome product. All opinions are 100% my own.

I was shocked to learn that my little guy, who is seven and therefore you expect would only have baby soft … [Read more...]

There are so many incredible ideas on Pinterest that I add to my boards, but know that I won't ever share them on the blog. You know the ones...you've seen them a gazillion times by three million different bloggers and you almost just roll your eyes when you see another one pop up. I often make those projects and recipes and just don't share them on the blog in the hopes of not being a copy … [Read more...]
