Tips and Tricks for Using Boxed Hair Dye

This shop has been compensated by Schwarzkopf. #ColoristToolsAtWalmart #sponsored I’ve wanted to dye my hair for, I don’t know, forever? It seemed like such a big deal, though, so I never did it! I’ve talked about it for years, but really wasn’t sure if I’d ever work up the courage to do it. So when…

I don’t think I’ve ever been to Chicago (at least not that I can remember), but I don’t see how the “windy city” could be any windier than Kansas City. We’ve lived here over a month now, and the wind is relentless! And that means… so are my allergies. Holy moly, it’s down right crazy. I’ve…

My little 2-year-old, Owen, is the sweetest little goober in the entire world. He loves to snuggle and give kisses, and his bright smile is so cute I can hardly stand it. BUT. He’s also… a menace. The other day, Sophie and I had the following conversation: Sophie: “Mom, I’m an angel.” Me: “You sure…

DIY Burp Cloths

Why is it that the last few weeks of pregnancy move in S-L-O-W motion?! Honestly, I feel like this pregnancy has gone by really fast. The whole time, I kept thinking “wow! I’m really this far along?” Which is weird, because my other pregnancies seemed to take ages. But now that I’m in the home…
