When I think of Walgreens, I think of a neighborhood drugstore chain – a place I can stop any time of the day to grab some much-needed medicine, a snack, or a replacement lipstick. When I was invited last week to cover the opening of the new Walgreens Flagship store in Washington D.C. I was…
Empowering Women Together #EmpowerWomen
I never pictured myself as a business owner. I never imagined that I would feel such pride in creating a beautiful family portrait or sending in an article I’ve written for a national brand. Being a full time blogger along with running a small photography business keeps my creative juices flowing…and I love it! I…
3 Tips for Creating the Perfect Movie Night at Home
For years, when we were in the middle of babies and diapers and not many funds left to pay a babysitter, date night meant movie night at home. Putting the kids to bed, popping some popcorn, and sitting down on the couch together to watch a movie was almost as rejuvenating as getting out of…
Perfect Balance: #YopaYogurt
Last year, I chose the word Balance to be my word of the year. After a rough 2011, I was determined to create more balance in my home, family, work, and personal life. I kept the word balance in my head all year….but I’m not sure I really achieved it. And so I decided to…
Birthday with Cousins – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Reese had a birthday this week, and by some streak of birthday luck got to spend the two days before her birthday with her out-of-state cousins. Since the cousins were in town, we decided to cut into the birthday cake a day early and share it with the extended family (and as a side note,…

How to Turn Everyday Moments into Family Memories
Today is a snow day. With all 5 kids and both parents home, you’d think that my house would be chaotic, but – incredibly – it’s fairly tame. Now, don’t ask me if my house is CLEAN. Tame, we can handle. Clean? Not so much. And how often does the cleanliness of the house factor…
5 Minutes a Day + 5 Tips = Clean Shower
For years it bothered me that my husband swore that cleaning the bathroom (shower and bath tub included) only took him 10 minutes. When I cleaned the bathroom, I was committed for the afternoon. And all too often, I would take the easy road and clean the toilet, sink and mirror, empty the garbage, and…
The Magic Ketchup Science Fair Project #PSF {Give Me Your Best Shot}
Today has been an insanely busy day. For a person who spends the majority of the day on the computer, the fact that I am just sitting down to my computer for the first time today – at 8:30 PM – is quite a telling sign. Between picking one sick child up from school an…
{Free} St. Patrick’s Day Printables
In celebration of my Irish roots and in consequence of my desire to waste some time today…I created a little St. Patrick’s Day printable to share. I’m no graphic designer, but I sure had fun playing around on PicMonkey. Print these squares out and hang them on a string for a quick and festive St….
