We are an animal loving family. Currently I am the proud pet mama to 2 Maine Coon kitties, Sebastian and Sophia. We never really see Sophia but we know she's around. However, Sebastian is a lovely, snuggly and extremely vocal kitty. Sebastian is very good at telling us when he wants something, he always seems to want something. And just like most kitties Sebastian loves his food. Every morning we start out with a little bowl of wet food for him. Sebastian thinks it's a treat but in reality I ...
Peppa Pig is Coming!
Peppa Pig is big with the kids. I know my daughter has been in love with Peppa and her brother George for years. And Peyton has also been obsessed with muddy puddles. Just like Peppa. Typically we can only see Peppa on television. My daughter has been begging to see Peppa Pig in person for years. So I did my research and it really looked like the only way we would ever see Peppa Pig in person is if we went to Peppa Pig World. In England. Yeah, I do not see that in our immediate future. And now ...
Julep Maven Reveal – February
I joined Julep a year or so ago. If you haven't heard about Julep before let me tell you a little about it. When you sign up there's a little questionnaire.

It used to be exclusively nail polish but over the last year they have expanded to including eye shadows, lip glosses and more. Another wonderful feature is you can customize your box! Each month around ...
This Was Not The Plan
Have you ever sat back and looked and your life and thought - This was not the plan? I know I have. I never thought I would be a single parent, have 1 child and be a blogger. I had dreams of living in a huge home with a husband that worked at some white collar job and having several kids. But life does not always work out the way we planed. For Charlie Goldwyn his life was not going the way he had planed. Just two years earlier he had it all. His amazing wife, Mira, made life a treasure. They ...
The Noticer’s Guide to Living and Laughing
My life is crazy busy. Being a single mom with absolutely no help (emotional, physical or financial) from the (I'm using this term loosely) father, working a full time day job, raising an amazing little girl and blogging my days never seem to end. Before Peyton was born I would work all the time, spend an average of 9-10 hours in the office a day and then even bring work home. I was the "best" employee. Then Peyton came along and I found myself really struggling. I wanted my life like before. I ...
Enjoy Lovely Candy Co Treats
I always have a candy jar on the edge of my desk for moments when I need a pick me up and for when clients stop by. What I choose to stock in my candy jar has to be a treat. If I am going to increase my calories for the day then it's going to be worth it, it's going to be tasty, it's going to be a decadent treat. Lovely Candy Co makes a wide variety of caramels, chews and licorices that are well worth the calories and fall into the tasty and decadent category. So what makes these treats ...
