I’m sitting here on the other side of the window of a serious Northeaster and all I’m thinking about is Spring Wreaths. Bright and cheery and so very not snowy. I’m in general not a front door wreath girl…not a traditional wreath girl, I should say. When it comes to spring wreaths, I like vibrant …
So this conversation happened at the Lifestyle for Real Life household the other day: “Umm, honey, do you think you could start making dinners again?” I won’t tell you where the rest of that conversation went because I don’t put swears on the blog, but, I do indeed love them in real life. There was …
I’m ready to share my February 2018 Blog Income Report with you. I really didn’t even want to write another income report. Because February was a doozy. February was a lesson in stick-to-it-iveness. Of resilience. Of not giving up even when you feel like you’re a giant failure. February was all work and no results. …

I’ve cheated twice in my life. Once, in Chemistry class in High School and, also, on every single diet I have ever been on. Which, yes, I’m counting as one giant instance of cheating. I’m just taking every single diet cheat and rolling it into one giant ball of shame. Is that fair? I mean, …
I promised you in my Easter Egg Craft post that I would be back with some super cute Easter crafts. Well, never one to disappoint, I’m back. I found the most adorable and simple Easter Crafts. I don’t usually go all out for Easter decorating, but I might need to do at least a couple …
One of my favorite parts of Easter is decorating eggs. It’s a combo of two of my favorite things, Crafts and Food! I’m a multitasking kind of girl, so if I can get a two for one, I’m happy. I love scoping out new ideas for Easter Egg Crafts because as my kids get a …
Is that title too much? I mean, can a sofa really save a family? It’s just fabric and fluff and wood, right? Inanimate objects don’t save families. Or do they? I think the Ikea Extorp Sectional just might have saved mine.
