This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. Cricut has long been established as the ultimate crafting tool!

While I love my Cricut Explore Air (and am coveting a Cricut Maker for it's ability to cut even more materials), the truth is that both machines are much more powerful than what I need for the majority of my projects. I love ... View the Post

Thank you First Alert for sponsoring this post. October is Fire Prevention Month - practice safety in numbers to ensure your family’s super prepared too! I'm pretty sure I never slept as a kid.

But somehow I managed to get lucky because Scott and I have very similar taste and typically see eye to eye when it comes to decorating our house. When my friend Stephanie, of Casa Watkins, recently invited me to participate in a blog hope all about mixing and matching different decorating styles, I initially declined because I feel like our style is pretty cohesive - modern, ...

My boys have toys, and toys, and more toys, but one of their favorite things has always been sitting down with a big pile of books. That makes me such a proud mom!

I know that for some kids, books don't hold the same appeal, and, for some, they may even be a source of frustration. After talking with friends ... View the Post

How to Make the Daylight Savings Time Change Easier on Kids
I've always loved daylight savings, despite losing an hour of sleep. Maybe it's the night owl in me talking, but I'm a fan of the extra light in the evenings to enjoy time as a family and to get my DIY projects done. But as a parent, the transition can be a bit rough!
