{Front Porch Makeover} Some Progress

My love for well decorated front porches runs long and wide. There is a neighborhood not far from here that is full of recently built homes designed to simulate homes from the era of wrap around porches. I often ride in there just to look and get ideas of things I could do with my porch.

A front porch was high on my list of must haves when we were house shopping and while I didn’t get one as big as I would’ve liked…I did get one. A few days ago it looked like this:

I couldn’t take it. The bareness.

I ventured into Kohl’s one day with some Kohl’s Cash, a coupon, and a $10 off anything promotional offer. Initially I looked at a purse, before deciding I might be better off getting something I need.

Parties, Relay for Life, & Carrots | A Weekend in Review

Maaaaaaan, I am sure at sometime today I will need to use some of the toothpicks that held my stuffed chicken breasts together for last night’s dinner. This time I’ll be using them for my eyelids, while gulping down a large amount of coffee without coming up for air. This weekend has been draining…..but fun.

My weekend kicked off on Thursday with an amazing luncheon with Momtrends that was sponsored by Aladdin and Party BluPrints. Talk about a good time. I’ll give more deets later in the week.

Aladdin Luncheon

With the Mom 2.0 Summit blogging conference in town last week there were a number of parties happening around town. Thursday evening after getting home and getting the children settled in I slid back out to a party at the Swan House sponsored by Dixie Crystals. There was a table set up where we could mix and match Dixie Crystals sugar with different oils to create body scrubs. I must say mine turned out to be the bomb. A little sugar, some rosemary and grapeseed oil….Bomb.com.  I also had a lot of desserts. A lot.

Celebrating Motherhood with Honey Baked Ham

With Mother’s Day just under a week away, while some would like to put their feet up and enjoy a free day of spa lounging to include bottomless mimosas and endless girl talk the truth of the matter is this fantasy won’t happen for the best of us.

Being a Mother has been an incredible calling for me from the day the pregnancy tests were confirmed and I don’t know about you but no one can celebrate a mother like another mother. We know the stresses, the balancing act and the feel of little arms around our neck for the sweetest cuddles.

This Mother’s Day I’ve decided to throw a little get together for some of my favorite mothers. We’re all on this journey together and sometimes it is soothing to sit and talk with mothers who are going through the same issues that I’m going through parenting my children.

Friday night we are going to get together and have a great time with some eats and drinks and sit and share pregnancy, and labor war stories. With it being a Friday evening I am not looking to do ANY cooking and Honey Baked Ham’s heat and eat options offer a great starting point for the menu.
