As soon as the children start school they start to send home flyers asking you to start collecting them. I'll admit when I first got the request I was a tad clueless about what they wanted me to do. But, it's really easy! Just clip these little Box Tops off items I am already using ...

The Ice Castles are Now Open in Stillwater!
Last year, I took the family and extended family out to the Ice Castles in Stillwater, Minnesota. With our crazy weather, it wasn't open that long so I'm glad we were able to take all the kids and go. Besides being an absolutely beautiful experience it is also a freezing cold experience! Last year, it was so cold the night we went that we didn't stay long but what little time we did have before it became too cold was amazing and rememberable. The kids loved running through the tunnels, ...
Find Out How to Save Up to $450 a Year on Infant Formula
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Member's Mark. All opinions are 100% mine. Having a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. I loved prepping for Peyton's arrival. I had her nursery decorated perfectly, the diaper table stocked, the wipes on standby waiting for her arrival. But what I wasn't prepared for was the expenses that seem to be never-ending! That first week home was an eye-opener. We flew through diapers, wipes, and formula. It seemed like I was ...
The Word for 2018 is ……Boundaries
It's the new year and I'm really taking a look around me and looking for ways I can make my life better. My life less complicated. Less stressful.

So this year is the year of setting boundaries! Setting boundaries is not easy, especially when you haven't been doing them or have let people walk all over the boundaries ...
Styling Your Home for Winter
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. It's official, winter has begun. The temperature has been negative all week and when you add in the windchill it's not even worth heading outside. This time of year, I find us hunkering down inside our homes. But while we're all hibernating in our homes we tend to entertain more. This time of year I like to refresh our home to help make it cozier and keep the warm air in while keeping the cold air ...
Finding Joy in the Season by Decluttering with a Purpose
Last weekend, Peyton and I spent the weekend going through her room. We came up with 18 bags and 1 large box to donate! It sure felt good getting rid of all that stuff we no longer needed. And I'm glad we did it because Christmas day is hot on our heels! It seems like after the Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone – the time until Christmas is in hyper-drive! So much to do between decorating, cleaning, organizing, shopping, and cooking. It sometimes feels like there is just too much to do! ...
