Spring has officially come to LA. This week, our weather is in the 80s and I’m loving it! Although I’m still spending most of my time in loungewear, I did break out a few dresses over the last week. I decided I needed to add a few boho dresses to my wardrobe, and I’m so…
This post is sponsored by Policygenius. All opinions are my own. Policygenius reached out to me in January to partner on a life insurance post. At the time, I welcomed the partnership because I do think life insurance is something that everyone should have, especially if you have children. Since I do have two kids,…
It’s been almost 5 weeks that I’ve been home with my kids, homeschooling them and sheltering in place, as mandated. None of us had any idea 2020 would bring such a drastic change to the way we live our lives, but not everything about COVID-19 has been bad. I actually think a lot of good…
The other day, I received several bottles of Risata Moscato wine. It is a sweet white wine that has citrusy notes, so I decided I’d try to create a cocktail with it. I wanted to create a sangria margarita recipe because a classic margarita is one of my favorite drinks, and Cinco De Mayo is…
This Mother’s Day giveaway is sponsored by Ethan Lord. All opinions are my own. Mother’s Day is less than a month away! I’m so excited to partner with Ethan Lord and my blogger pals, to give one lucky person their very own Ethan Lord gold and diamond band, worth $950! This has been a tough…
Do you have any recipes that remind you of your childhood? This Special K Bars recipe definitely does. This was one of my very favorite treats my mom would make when I was a kid. There’s something about the peanut butter and chocolate combination that I (still) can’t get enough of. It is by far…
Since we will all be home for the next month or two, maybe longer, now is a great time to try out a new loungewear set. Since I’m working from home, I recently ordered a whole bunch of cute loungewear, which was affordable but still stylish. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people…
What are you doing with all your free time? I’ve definitely been spending more time in the kitchen. On one recent trip to the grocery store, there were very few veggies. But, I did find a 2-pound pack of mushrooms. I love mushrooms, but what the heck do you do with two pounds? That’s precisely…
This post COVID homeschool schedule post is sponsored by iD Tech. All opinions are my own. Well, we’re only two weeks into this ‘stay home’ order, with at least another 5 or 6 weeks to go, maybe even longer. I don’t know about you, but I definitely never planned to be a stay at home…
So how is homeschooling going for you? Most of us never planned to be homeschooling parents, but here we are. If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s to expect the unexpected and stop it with all your planning. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is live day-to-day. That’s exactly how I’m approaching homeschooling. I’m…
My friend Ramona from Fab Everyday recently posted a cooking/baking challenge on her Facebook page. Basically, the challenge outlined 30 things that you should try to make from scratch at your home. I have made 23 of the items, but there are still 7 I have yet to make. One of them was biscuits from…
This post about COVID on small businesses is sponsored by GoDaddy. All opinions are my own. None of us were prepared for how rapidly our lives would change with COVID-19. As a small business owner, myself (yes, my blog is an actual business), I instinctively knew I’d have to adapt quickly. In order to keep…
If you had asked me two weeks ago when I shot this Shein look if I’d be talking about anything other than cute floral dresses, I wouldn’t have believed you. If you would have told me that many people are afraid our economy is going to collapse and you could score major COVID retail sales,…
Disneyland Grand Californian Hotel & Spa hosted our stay. All opinions are my own. Well, when I wrote this post I didn’t assume that Disneyland and the Disneyland Grand Californian Hotel and Spa would be closed! In these unprecedented times, when everything is closed and most people’s travel plans have halted, it’s still a great…
If you follow my blog at all, you know I love to bake. It’s therapeutic and calms me. I also happen to love sweets and so do my kids. Although I’ve baked a lot of recipes on the blog over the years, I can’t believe I’ve never made baked donuts. Ironically, one of my all-time…
