I’ve always been envious of those who have artistic skills. I have terrible hand writing and stick people are about as close I can get to “art”. When I was given the opportunity to review a piece of handmade art from the Etsy shop WadeMade, I jumped at the opportunity! Mary is a college student [...]

Preparing for baby #2 has forced me to think about ways we can be financially responsible with a growing family. Luckily, with your second child, you don’t need as many baby items.

Last night we experienced some of the most severe weather in East TN’s history. We had 10 hours of tornado warnings. Typically, I am not easily unnerved from storms.

Well folks, Saturday morning was a huge yard sale disappointment. I realize that most of the good sales were on Good Friday, but I couldn’t get out of the house in time. I only had about 45 minutes, so I stayed very close to home. I took my normal route, which usually yields several sales. [...]

I threw my husband a surprise 30th birthday party this past weekend. I made “Angry Bird” cupcakes. You read that correctly…."30” AND “Angry Bird” cupcakes. He loved them and they were a hit at the par-tay. This is true love people. I made cupcakes and homemade icing and didn’t eat ONE BITE (Wondering why? Check [...]

This past week I had the pleasure of reviewing two products from Celadon Road, an organic/green direct sales company (I’m in “Natural Nancy” heaven)! This company was founded by a corporate attorney (and Mother) who decided she wanted to put her business knowledge and love for green products to use. In doing so, she created [...]
