Loving: A New Favorite Find Being the organized freak that I am, I hate having to rummage through a drawer to find something... especially measuring spoons! These measuring spoons stack together with a magnet! They are double sided with two  different shapes for use with spice jars or liquids... I love them! These magnetic spoons stay organized in your drawer so they are always right where you need them. Made by Prep works/Progressive, these "Magnetic Measuring Spoons" are av

European Planters I love flowers and plants. I love everything about them; the colors, smells, the way that they look! If I could have one luxury, it would be to have my house filled with fresh flowers regularly, but since I can’t, I have mixed European planters instead! You can use these anywhere; kitchen counters, coffee tables, dining table, everywhere and they look beautiful. The more that you have, the better and as always and with almost everything, the bigger the bette

I don’t remember the first time my mom hit me. I simply don’t remember a time when random acts of violence were absent. One of my earliest memories is of being thrown on the driveway and my head bouncing hard against the ground, a taste that I would later learn was blood but that I just thought of as ‘pain’ filled my mouth. I was 4 years old. As I got older I began to be able to predict what behaviors were more likely to provoke a violent response, although I was never able t

I’m done. I’m done using “I’m busy” as an excuse for not spending time with people who are important to me. We’ve all heard the stories about why we should cherish the people we are close to because ‘they may be gone tomorrow’. The moment you hear about someone else who lost someone they care about and they share their regret with you, you may think “I should call so and so” but do you? Or do, you get busy and forget? Americans pride themselves on being “busy.” We use it as w

Tax Time Organizing Most people think of Tax Time as being the worst time of year! Sorting through papers trying to get organized enough to even start working on your taxes is overwhelming! I know it seems like a daunting task, but if you take a little bit of extra time when you are going through your documents for tax preparation, it will make every year from here on out a breeze! I love having things electronic, but I am a tactile person and still like having hard copies of

Favorite Springtime Find: ️Chubby Sticks Clinique‘s “Chubby Stick’s” are one of my new favorites! This nourishing balm is loaded with mango and Shea butters. Just what my dry, delicate lips need.

With our wedding only 6 weeks away, my fiancé insisted that we take a trip around the world returning 3 weeks before our wedding. It was so stressful! We leave on a trip around the world… Our first stop was Hong Kong: What should have been a great start wasn't. My fiancé was furious that I wanted to simply take a nap, a red flag, which set him off for the next few days. We were only there for a couple of days, but we were arguing the entire time. Everything was an issue. It w
