Lifestyle & Family Resource site for everyday women and moms
We are busy and distracted by social media. Having smartphones doesn’t help either. However, I believe our smartphones allow us to stay connected. As a busy mom, I try to keep it simple. We found 3 items to make your life easier.
I am always looking for ways to improve our lives. I’m a single mom. I do miss having someone to help make important decisions with. I am doing the best I can.
… [read more]I love being a homeowner. I never thought I would be a single mom and be a homeowner. I’ve always wanted to have a home and set roots down. My son and I have been in our home for over a year and we love it! We found 2 handy items homeowners could use!
I love our little home. I remember the first time I saw it in person, it wasn’t until after the seller accepted my offer! By then, he had already moved out! I saw my home for the first time during our inspection!
… [read more]I love flowers. Nature is beautiful. I love houseplants. I’ve only had fresh flowers in our home once when my son was born. They were a beautiful little bouquet. As a new homeowner, I am so excited to add the Teleflora’s Flurry Of Elegance Bouquet to our home. I love personalizing our space and adding beautiful and fun decor to our home. I’ve been making our house feel like home little by little.
I’m addicted to houseplants mainly because it’s a natural and beautiful way to bring nature indoors. My houseplants give me something to care for, watch grow and thrive. My very first houseplant was a miniature african violet. At the time I had no idea how to take care of it but it came in a wick watering container. Since then, I’ve added new houseplants to my collection! I have always loved houseplants.

I like making a few batches of these at a time. I keep a massage bar in each of our showers and even in the bathroom sinks. It’s just a little extra I like to offer for our household when washing our hands! If I do have any leftover, I also like sharing them with neighbors and my son’s teachers.

Unique Gift Ideas For Teens And Women Unique Gift Ideas For Teens And Women Unique Gift Ideas For Teens And Women Unique Gift Ideas For Teens And Women Unique Gift Ideas For Teens And Women Unique Gift Ideas For Teens And Women
Small, filler-type gifts are one of my favorite things about planning for birthdays and all the different holidays that we love to celebrate. Sometimes these small, inexpensive filler gifts will go into an overall gift basket. But, for Christmas they more often than not are destined for my kids’ Christmas stockings (unless they directly correlate with a larger gift).
For example, if I’m gifting a makeup organizer or beauty bag to one of my daughters, I might purchase bottles of nail polish/polish remover, nail files, eyeliner/mascara/eye shadow, makeup remover pads or other such items to put inside the organizer or bag before wrapping. However, if I’m not gifting a larger item like that, these smaller items will end up in their Christmas stockings along with the small treats or candies.
Some things I buy for stockings every year — a candy cane, chocolate candies like Hershey Kisses, a chocolate santa or reindeer, Christmas-themed suckers, etc. But, I truly thrive on finding totally unique items to also stick in there that I’ve never given before.
Here, I will be sharing some of the fun, unique items that are going into my kids’ stockings this year. They would also work great in gift baskets, too.
I can’t wait to see how they react! The first two items listed are snack foods. Since the holidays are inevitably full of sweet and high-calorie treats, I decided to share two snacks that are not only delicious and full of flavor but also healthy treat options! But, trust me, your loved ones won’t even know it because they will be so bowled over by the flavors.
After Thanksgiving, I realized how much food we had over a period of a few days! Oh my! And I felt it! A few days after Thanksgiving, I started doing yoga since the weather was overcast and raining for a few days! Yoga allows me to stretch, breathe, de-stress, and focus on my own well-being. The holiday season always reminds me to think about my health and improve wherever I can. Are you ready to step up and motivate your wellness?
When it comes to health and wellness, it can be overwhelming. Start with small changes. Are there any small changes you can make? Looking for ways to sleep better, reduce headaches, eye strain, or lessen migraines? Need ways to encourage yourself to drink more water?
… [read more]For the last several months, I’ve been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and restless. There were many nights when I’d wake up throughout the night! I’d eventually fall asleep about an hour or two before I had to get up. To help with everything I am dealing with and to improve my rest, I was searching for alternative help. I didn’t want to turn to sleeping aids. We found natural ways to find better sleep in 4 steps!
If you’re like me, I don’t do well with medication or sleeping aids. I wanted natural methods to improve my sleep! First, let’s start with improving headaches, eyestrain, and ease disruption to sleep! Have you thought about how much we use our mobile devices, watch television, and even sit in front of a computer screen?
… [read more]It’s been almost a year since my son and I moved into our own home. While I love being a homeowner and I am aware of all the advantages of owning a home, I am not thrilled about the added expenses as opposed to being a renter. As a single mom and homeowner, I am making our new house feel like home by personalizing it with what we like and what makes us happy. I surround us with positive art and pictures. Whether you’re a new homeowner or just looking to redecorate, we are excited to share how to personalize your home with 3 easy changes.
When I first moved in to my home, one of the first purchases I made was a welcome mat. I chose a beautiful and simple mat! It was more of a symbol of our safety and freedom! Our home was a new start for my son and myself!
… [read more]Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Do you have plans? My son and I are spending the holiday together. After talking to a great friend, I explained to her that I was thinking of ordering a “pre-made holiday meal” from a local grocery store. She convinced me that I should do it! So, I ordered a vegan Thanksgiving meal that feeds two people. There is so much food included and with my son being such a picky eater, I know there will be plenty of leftover food for at least a week! Since I have an Instant Pot, I love making delicious meals and such for us. I recently made Instant Pot Cranberry French Toast and it was a hit! This makes an awesome breakfast, especially with those cranberries you may on hand!
If you already have an Instant Pot, what are your favorite recipes? My son loves pasta, so I like to make him spaghetti! I know there are so many recipes out there to try! In the past, I’ve tried Quinoa Fried Rice a few times. It was pretty good.
