I don't know about you, but my weeknights are crazy busy. When I get done at 5 pm with my job, I rush straight to Peyton's school and pick her up. I have to be there by 6 pm or there's extra fees and what not. So I try to hurry as fast as I can, I usually show up around 5:30-5:45 depending on traffic. Now that I have Peyton, it's time to head home and feed the dogs. The first half hour we are home it's busy! Check the mail, feed the dogs, feed the cats and see if there's anything that needs ...
Gluten Free
Beauty from the Sea
I am always on the hunt for new beauty products. Living in a house full of girls we can never have enough!

I even discussed it with our family doctor and she said Peyton would be better off if I sent her lunch to school with her. So that is what I've been ...
Caramel Corn the MELT Organic Way
We are huge caramel popcorn lovers in this house. Whenever I buy a bag, Peyton eats it the instant we get home. She even hides it so she is the only one to get any! But the store bought caramel popcorn is full of preservatives, trans fat and lots of other ingredients I rather keep out of Peyton's diet. MELT Organic sent me a recipe for Caramel Corn to try out. With the holiday weekend, I thought it would be a good time to make a batch to take with us to watch the fireworks. Here's what you'll ...
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 ...
