My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games
I am excited to be able to give away this fun prize pack celebrating the brand new release of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games.

Pumpkin Seed Granola
Last month, I made some homemade chewy cinnamon raisin granola bars, and I swear that I’ve been thinking about them ever since we finished them (which didn’t take very long…they were SO GOOD).

What Are Your Aladdin Memories? {Aladdin Diamond Edition}

Cruella Didn’t Like My Dopey Costume… #PSF #TypeACon
It’s been an insanely busy but productive and enjoyable day here in Atlanta. We kicked off Type A Conference with a fun dinner out, followed by a party with Disney Parks. I dressed up in an outfit inspired by Dopey, the adorable dwarf. I admit I didn’t look much like Dopey, but the outfit…
Sweet and Creamy Pumpkin Dip
This post is sponsored by Target. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Sometimes I am still shocked at how quickly my big family goes through staples like milk, bread, eggs, and snacks for school lunches. Thank goodness for Target! It’s so easy to get everything I need on a quick Target run—from the…
