I did not get a chance to get day four up yesterday, so I'm just going to combine day four and five into one! :) Day 4: Best Childhood Memory For this blog challenge, my favorite childhood memory would probably have to be a tie between when I was about 5 and we went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for Easter. Of course I was so worried the Easter bunny wouldn't find me because we weren't home... but of course he did "find us. ;-) I had a lot of fun going on the go-carts and just … [Read more...]
Minute� Ready-To-Serve Rice #LoveEveryMinute
Whenever I think of rice, I think of Chinese food - which is amazing. But, also, when I think of rice I think of how it takes a pretty significant amount of time to cook. Plus, I feel like I need to have a steamer to make it, because I see them advertised all the time. I'm happy that this is not the case! Ever since I came across Minute� Rice, it has made it able to have rice when I want it! And have you heard about their great Minute� Ready To Serve Rice? This is honestly the best thi … [Read more...]
Day 3 of March 2013 Blog Challenge
Day 3 Blog Challenge: What Makes You Happy There are lots of things that make me happy. One, of course is my family. I love my daughter with all of my heart - I finally understand the love my parents have for me. I never thought I'd be able to love somebody so little as much as you do for your child. It's amazing. Miles is my other half. I don't know what I would do without him. He knows what to say to cheer me up when I'm upset and having him stand beside me no matter what obstacle we … [Read more...]
Day 2 of March 2013 Blog Challenge
Day 2: Favorite Quote(s). I am a major quote lover. In fact, back in junior high and high school (wow, that seems like it was forever ago LOL) I was so obsessed with them that I filled up three notebooks, cover to cover, with quotes that I found online or read in books or heard in television shows or movies that I watched. They were either quotes that I loved and/or could relate to. With that said, it's pretty hard to pick just one favorite, or a couple favorites. So here are five of my … [Read more...]

Office/Home Business Furniture and Organization Is Important
As a wife, mother, blogger, craft lover/maker, and Scentsy consultant, I know how important it is to be organized. All of that, for me, starts with my desk. I keep track of all paperwork (whether it be shot records for Riley, instructions for crafts, or any of my Scentsy paperwork) at my desk. If my desk is a mess, then I feel like I'm a completely mess. For example, right now my desk has a stack of magazines I've received in the past month that I haven't gotten a chance to look at (in fact, … [Read more...]
