I have a problem. My natural hair color has been described as dirty dishwater blond and I dont like it. The color, not that its been called that. 😉 Though I cant imagine saying that about anyone, lol. Annnyway, Ive been dying my hair since I was a teen. Usually an auburn color because I wished to be Anne Shirley (of Anne of Green Gables). I took a pretty big break from the hair dye when I got married with the exception of one incident, a dye job that caused me to cry and my husband to ask me never to dye my hair again after the waterworks but once every couple of months now I get this uncontrollable urge to change my hair. I start thinking about cutting my hair or begin to eye the hair dye aisle. Those perfect women with their perfect hair if I do put…
How many crafty moms read my blog? And I dont mean crafty as in mischievous, lol. I mean scrapbookers, sewing mamas, etc. Im thinking of branching out and sharing tutorials I find online and a few of my own tutorials as well. If you are a creative mama, would you comment with your favorite creative outlet, your blog url, and whether you blog your craftiness? Im sure we would all like to visit each others blogs and find out about each others projects. 🙂 My Story: Before my daughter was born, I crafted all the time! I crochet, make my own jewelry, mess around with polymer clay, scrapbook, and am currently conquering my fear of the sewing machine. I pretty much dabble in everything and love trying new things. Until now I havent really been able to find the time or space to do it but I think Ill go…

We all need to be pampered sometimes. I think moms especially deserve this theyre busy taking care of everyone else and can forget to take care of themselves sometimes! Silk Spa Collection Warm Whiskers carries some of the cutest aromatherapy products for pampering Ive ever seen, and all of them able to be heated in the microwave or chilled in the freezer! Soft and snuggly heatable body wraps, eye pillows, slippers, body pillows, and neck wraps come in the form of sweet puppies and kittens, bunnies and wild animals. Review/My Thoughts: Warm Whiskers sent me a pair of Polar Bear Slippers to review. These slippers are a wonderful gift!

Not only are your slippers warm and comfy for those cold days, the sweet smell of calming lavender scents the air and your feet! They…

Credit for image goes to Sky-fyre on DeviantArt Carrie from Growing a Babywrote a wonderful, heartfelt post about what its like to be a mom who is feeling lonely and a bit caged she has two little ones, one of them born in June, so I can understand the feeling. She also talks about trusting God and surrendering her will to His. Take a moment to read it, youll be glad you did! 🙂 Her post touched my heart, and I felt immediately that she was a kindred spirit because I have been going through the same thing lately. *warning, what comes could possibly sound like complaining, lol* Emma has been teething and very whiny, and Ive been needing a break so bad its not even funny. We know when were reaching the end of our rope we start getting very grumpy, depressed, or even whiny (shocker). I know I…
I believe that a nicely placed rug (or two) really completes a rooms look, whether its the bedroom, bathroom, living room, or kitchen. Its amazing what a difference a rug can make to the decor and comfort level it can pull the room together in an instant. Rugs are also useful, of course! They can save your carpet (too late for me, Im afraid lol) and give your feet a dry and soft place to escape to. Why Buy From CSN Rugs? CSN Rugs wants their customers to have a positive experience shopping with them. They guarantee you will be 100% satisfied if youre not, you can send the rug back! They also have pretty much every rug on the planet if thats an exaggeration well, they have a colossal selection to pick from, thats all I can say. They also strive to be the place with the absolute lowest…
