Get the shoes, girl!

This blog post is kindly sponsored by Famous Footwear. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. The other day I walked into my closet and I immediately felt that cringe feeling that things had to be purged out of my wardrobe. Fast! Honestly, like how does that even happen? How did I acquire enough…

The Road To (Arhaus) Recliners

This blog post is kindly sponsored by Arhaus. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. Full disclosure: If you love the traditional recliner style, this post is not for you! With that out of the way, I have to say, recliners have never been my favorite type of furniture. To be fair, the ones…

Elephant Learning

This blog post is kindly sponsored by Elephant Learning. All thoughts expressed are my own. As a child, learning math was SO frustrating for me. Honestly, that was not a great starting off point. I always felt like I was a few steps behind everyone. Like I never quite caught on. The reality is, if you’re shaky on the basic foundations of math, you’re limited in the skills you need to move onto the next steps. I remember when my son would come home with failing grades (after failing grades) in math, last year. My heart sunk. I was terrified…

Leftover Halloween Candy Hot Chocolate 🍫

Before you think, eww, aren’t those candy bars way too old for use? Calm down, Karen. I’m just talking about the ones that have a long shelf life and have clearly NOT expired 🙂 Safety first, guys. On to the sweet stuff (and why you’re here)! So if your kids have special training in being…

Gift A Special Moment in Time

  This blog post is kindly sponsored by pictureframes.com. All thoughts expressed are my own. You wouldn’t believe I was a professional photographer if you walked into our house. It’s unbelievable how few photos I have printed and framed. I spend so much time creating beautiful images for my clients that I more than neglect to do the same for our family. I’ve been so convicted of that lately. I REALLY desire to have our special moments covering our walls.  Which brings me to my next point, I recently discovered pictureframes.com and was blown away by all of the options before me! I honestly felt like a…

WHO Takes Your Photos??

If I had a dime for every time someone asked me, ‘who takes your photos?’…. One of the most unbelievable concepts for my friends, peers, and strangers (basically everyone) to process, is that my eleven year old son has been taking my pictures since he was 9. Before you think that is just crazy talk. Don’t underestimate the talent children have! So how did this all start? Well, for a little while now I’ve been creating digital content for brands. I found myself hating life when trying to use a tripod. The camera never focused on the area I needed…
