Last month, I started writing down my monthly goals and I’m so glad I did! Not only did it make me really aware of certain things I needed to accomplish but it really helped me focus and do things I…
July 4th Menu
This Friday is July 4th! I just love the fact that the holiday falls on a Friday this year. Nothing is more random and harder to work around than a mid-week holiday. Whenever July 4th falls on like a Wednesday,…
July Pin-spired
Happy Pin-spired Monday!! Mel, Sheaffer and I are showing you how Pinterest is helping us get dressed this month! If you missed my post on Friday where I shop with Sheaffer, you need to read that one too (click here)!…
Meal Planning Monday #43
Woohoo! It’s a holiday week edition of Meal Planning Monday! Even though the actual holiday isn’t until Friday, I pretty much count this entire week as holiday-ish. Today, I’ll show you a few quick suppers to make at the…
Bar #45: Red, White and Blue Bars

Cast Iron Steak Fajitas
I get asked all the time to review cookbooks and such but honestly, I’d rather write recipes than review other people’s books. However, I am a big, big, big fan of Hoffman Media and their CEO Phyllis Hoffman DePiano,…
#shayeveryday2014 Week 25
Day 169: Andrea and Kensington are both “dress girls”, so Kensington was thrilled when Andrea brought her over a new dress. She wanted me to take a picture of her in it and send it to Miss Andrea :). Day…
Tortellini Pasta Salad
This is like the perfect little recipe. It’s light enough to be a yummy summer supper, it’s fabulous for lunches (you can whip up a big batch and eat on it all week) and it’s great as a side too….
Fifty Two Shades of Shay: Having 2 babies…and loving it.
I have been meaning to do this Shade of Shay for months and months. I get emails every week from mamas who either just had their second baby or are about to have their second baby really close in age…
