• Affordable Teeth Whitening in Your Own Home!

    I have had a love/hate relationship with my teeth since I was a teen. An overbite led to middle school braces (yay for colorful rubber bands) and then my teeth and I were on good terms, that is until as an adult I discovered coffee. Hello yellowing teeth. Thank goodness for my amazing experience with Smile Brilliant, an at home teeth whitening system that has given me great results!

  • Wardrobe Pieces to Transition from Winter to Spring

    Spring is officially upon us, and although mother nature has yet to inform Minnesota that it is in fact spring considering we still have snow falling as I type this, I am more than ready to start pulling out spring attire! In fact it may be because of this lingering winter that I feel compelled to write and dream about spring even  more! Here I have gathered up some great pieces and outfits that I think are perfect for this season as we transition from winter into spring. It is that odd time of year where one day it feels warm, the sun is out, and the birds are chirping and then the…

  • This Week’s Top 5

    This week everything that surrounds me is full of fall: the colors, the smells, the sounds, the food.  What solidified the season change and made it official was our family visiting the local apple orchard which included a pumpkin patch.  As we all enjoyed the beautiful (dare I say hot?!) day at the orchard this past weekend, I started thinking about the savory meals, decor, and accessories that include fall produce such as squash, apples, and pumpkin.  Here are my Top 5 things I’m obsessing over this week. 1. The Soup Via My Recipes I was perusing through a health magazine online and came across this recipe for a Roasted Tomato and Garlic Soup.…

  • This Week’s Top 5

    While summer feels like it is quickly slipping away, there are things I am just not ready to let go of.  Here are the top 5 things that I am loving this week and am holding on to tightly as summer is not gone yet! 1. The Summer Dress ‘Renley’ Lace Fit & Flare Dress This dress is light, airy, and a beautiful color.  As the cooler temperatures set in this could easily transition to fall with some knit tights and a sweater. 2.

  • This Week’s Top 5

  • Fashion Friday: The White T-Shirt

    Its Friday, the sun is shining and begging me to come outside! What to wear on a beautiful day like today? Then I see it: my white t-shirt.  Simple. Clean. And so easy to throw on with everything from a skirt, to shorts, to leggings.  The white t-shirt is such a basic staple that needs to be in every woman’s closet.  Why? Because it can be paired with almost anything and can transform itself to fit any situation or look just by changing and adding accessories.  Going out on a date? Throw on a skirt, colorful necklace, and some heels with your t-shirt.  Running around with the kids?  Simple pendant necklace, sandals, and skinny jeans and…

  • Fashion Friday: The Maxi Dress

    With it being the first Friday of official summer break, I decided I would kick off the weekend with some awesome fashion finds! The first thing that came to mind when thinking about clothes that are effortless, comfortable, and yet also still look good (gotta keep my sanity and feel like a human while mothering 3 kids!) I came up with maxi dresses. The maxi dress: epitome of simple, classy, comfy, and perfect for the hot summer weather.  And as it may be TMI but understandable for all moms, the maxi dress is also nice because in the event I need to bend down, sit down, or even crawl I’m still looking presentable,…
