I really like when my nails are painted, but I hardly ever have time to go to a nail salon for a proper manicure. I wanted a fun manicure for spring, so I created this simple triangle nail art tutorial. This tutorial is based on this picture I found on Pinterest. I decided to add…
Did you know there are better months than others to buy everyday items like frozen food, TVs or luggage? Me neither. I saw this video and it got me thinking, what are the things you should buy March? 1. Frozen Food Believe it or not, March is National Frozen Food Month. If you have a…
For my daughter’s birthday this year, we threw a zoo-themed birthday party. Her love of animals and trips to the zoo made it an obvious choice. I decided to try my hand at cake decorating, so I created zoo animal cupcakes — zebras, lions and tigers — to celebrate her big day. I have zero…
Gigi loves animals. She consistently asks us to read her the same animal book over and over. When we were deciding on a theme for her 2nd birthday, it was a pretty easy decision to choose a zoo birthday party as the theme. For the zoo birthday party decorations, I made a banner with lions,…
It may sound silly, but one of the reasons I was most excited to move back to Arizona is because Phoenix has some really great resale and consignment stores. This week’s outfit post is a perfect example of the best resale shops in Phoenix. Almost my entire look for the Gala I attended this past…

My baby girl turned one recently. Happy Birthday Gigi! To celebrate, I wanted to decorate a bit, but didn’t want to do anything too time-consuming (like Rocco’s fire truck party). My time is really pressed with work and juggling the kids, so I only had one weekend to do her decorations, the cake, and her outfit….
I don’t do my nails that often, but the holidays always entice me to try something a little shiny or sparkly. Last year, I wore this winter sparkle french manicure during the holidays. When I saw this half moon manicure tutorial, I thought it would be fun to try for the holidays this year. What I didn’t like…
Rocco is at an age where he is constantly trying to assert his independence. Jade and I nurture his independence through free-play and letting him explore as much as we can. Despite our best attempts, there is at least one daily battle, usually more, because we won’t let him get his way. The primary tantrum-inducing…
I’m a season late, but the start of this summer seemed like as good of a time as any to clean and reorganize my disaster of a closet. I’ve been fighting with my closet for awhile now. Having two babies in the last two years left my closet with a mismatch of maternity clothes, skinny clothes and…
Posh In Progress turned 1 yesterday! To celebrate, I wanted to try something daring, a multiple layer cake with blue ombre frosting and our Posh logo. Before I get into all the cake specifics, I want to thank my new and return readers, and especially those who have commented or connected with me via Facebook,…
Women’s jumpsuits are flying off the shelves this spring. Nearly every retailer is carrying them and I’m especially loving all the great printed jumpsuits out there. I’ll be honest. It’s taken me some time to warm up to this trend. I thought jumpsuits were only for those super skinny, model types. But with so many…
When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I knew I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on maternity clothes because the pregnancy time-frame is so short. For both of my pregnancies, I managed to spend very little money on maternity clothes, by buying some staple pieces and working with…
Broken Eyeshadow Is An Expensive Annoyance It is the worst when you buy an expensive eyeshadow, and you either drop it or it cracks while traveling. I recently had two of my eyeshadows end up broken and I wasn’t sure what to do. Given they were expensive, brand-name eyeshadows, I wanted to do what I…
