It's a new year and I'm trying to do a few things different this year. One of them is getting out of the yoga pants and t-shirt everyday and into some real clothes. Sure, the yoga pants work for rainy days or the days where you're home cleaning, but I need to change it up. That's why I'm joining What I Wore Wednesdays with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy. This past week was busy. We had doctors appointments, hospital visits, the Natalie Grant concert, and a couple of date nights in ...

That leaves me in a whole new stage of life. I look around at all the young moms and their children and wistfully wish that Pinterest had been around when I was their age. Yes, I said it – Pinterest. Bet you didn’t expect that! Never before have there been so many wonderful ideas in one ...

3 Reasons You Should Cruise With Norwegian
A few weeks ago we cruised with Norwegian around the Western Caribbean on the Norwegian Dawn. We love cruising and we love the Caribbean but we've never cruised with Norwegian before.

The sweet people who worked on this ship were so personable and really made you feel at home and was always so ...
