DIY Massage Bar Recipe
Ladies, let’s talk openly for a few minutes. Think back to when you were dating your husband. Then think about that first year you had after you were married but before you had kids.
Now think about the last few years. What’s different? Without knowing you, I can probably guess correctly that there’s a lack of intimacy now versus your first f…

Plus Size Halloween Costumes for Women
Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love the fun, whimsical decorations. I love helping my kids pick the perfect costume and walking around town with them. The last few years, we've gone trick or treating in a large group with about 10 kids and several adults. I think the adults have more fun than the kids!

How to Prevent Bed Head
I'm not sure which is worse for bed head: long hair or short hair. When I had long hair, I'd wake up with a tangled mess. Now that my hair in chin length, it tends to stick up in odd places some mornings. I straighten my curly hair, so wetting it really isn't an option unless I want to dry it and straighten it again. My poor daught…

It's almost fall, y'all! Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors, the crisp air, the perfect temperatures, and bonfires. The only problem with fall is that it's followed by winter, and I hate winter. When I'm old, I'm definitely going to be a snow bird.

Cooling Cucumber Facial Mask
How's your garden doing this year? We had a lot of rain and got our garden in late, then we got even more rain. Most of my friends had their gardens flooded out.

I heard about oil pulling a few years ago, but I dismissed it as another fad. I do love coconut oil, and I use it for cooking and a lot of my beauty recipes, but I didn't see how swishing it around my mouth could do anything for me. I was wrong. Oh, so wrong.

How to Build a First Aid Kit
I think every mother of two or more kids has that one child who keeps her on her toes. The one who never walks and instead runs everywhere, getting in to everything. The one who loves to climb and spin. The one who is never still, who is always getting in to something. The very reason you had to quickly learn how to build a first aid kit.
