Happy Cinco de Mayo!! I am sharing a recipe with you today that I recently made using some awesome new Mccormick's spices. I took on a challenge to come up with an easy and delicious taco night recipe using these spices. I have to tell you, I am seriously excited about having these spices in my collection because summer is all about fresh Mexican food! I love making anything with fresh salsas--fruit or regular. I love Mexican and … [Read more...]
It may be May and still a little on the chilly side for some of us mountain folks, but summer will be soon upon us and it's already here for some you down South! I am not the biggest fan of squeezing into a swim suit each summer but with three little kids, swimming is really one of the best activities to do frequently in the summer. I am not a bikini wearer so this collection of swimsuits is all things that I could see myself wearing. And … [Read more...]
If you've been following along with my blog, you might realize that I have a slight obsession with shelves. I live in an apartment and so shelves are a great way to get a lot of wall decor with few nail holes. Plus, there are so many ways to do them and make them unique and beautiful. I curated 25 fabulous shelving ideas on Hometalk.com. Do you know about Hometalk? It's this great website where anyone can share their latest home … [Read more...]
I love being a blogger. I really do. I have ups and downs, times when I'm super burned out and other times when I'm really gung-ho about blogging and all my projects. I have times when you can't drag me away from my computer and other times when I have to force myself to get on and answer emails. I was recently in a 'burned out' phase. But then I attended SNAP! Conference and got reinvigorated again. I have so many fun … [Read more...]
You might remember this little gem of a picture. My kids are 1) adorable, and 2) very, very messy. They can't even eat a few crackers without making a giant mess. That being said, my least favorite chore is doing laundry And what do you know, messy kids=lots of laundry. It is the most daunting and endless chore in my house...it's never done! Even if you work all day to be completely caught up, you are behind once again as soon as … [Read more...]
Some of you may love fish, some of you may hate it. But let me tell you fish-haters, you HAVE to try this grilled salmon recipe! It's seriously amazing. And there is no fishy flavor at all. I can't eat fish all the time but when I do make it, it has to be amazingly good so I want to make it again. And this, my friends, was amazingly good! And very easy to make. If you've never made salmon before and are curious to try it, do this … [Read more...]
I was challenged this month to do a room makeover for my family room or dining room with $250 of Better Homes and Gardens products (available at Walmart.) I was excited to see what I could do to my family room because it has been sadly neglected by me. I didn't really notice that it was so pathetic until I did this challenge, actually. But now I LOVE it! Can you even believe how a few accessories and decor items can drastically change the … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of dio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I just discovered the most awesome website...dio.com. It's way more versatile for users of every interest, but for me, it is kind of like what I wish my blog really was. I have a feeling that I'll be spending a lot more time on Dio.com! Here's what it is: Basically you create a 'place.' Your place can be anything really, it can be an … [Read more...]
