During the holidays it’s so much fun to give gifts to everyone you love in your life! However, finding gifts that are impressive and inexpensive to give in bulk can be difficult.

The Before… A while back I showed you our guest bedroom, and today I am going to show you the guest bathroom.

We lit some fireworks off in our backyard (it is legal here in FL) but it was hard to compete with natures fireworks. The lighting storm was CRAZY. Nothing makes you get more…

The kids have been out of school since June 7th and it makes it hard to get any writing done, plus we’ve been concentrating on getting stuff accomplished around the house, and we went away for 5 days.
