With the start of the New Year, I thought I’ll add some sparkle to my beauty routine simply by adding some definition to my “ordinary” manicure. After perusing my nail technicians resume,  I immediately feel in love with her glittery variations (you can see  here, here, here, and here) as well as the matte look. It’s a fun way to add a bit of sparkle, and I love that there are endless color combinations to try.  Here’s what you need if you are in the mood for DIY.    View Post

This has been a very full year. From turning 41, loving my clean eating habits, Lil B entering Kindergarten, meeting new mom friends, increased my love for fashion, staying sane with two active boys, to launching a kids only site it’s fair to say 2014 has been every growing. We have a lot planned for the new year.  Thank you for all your commitment to reading my blog, encouragements, and support, I couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s to a FAB 2015!

The holiday season has finally arrived and ’tis the season to recognize those handful of people that you can rely on to keep your world sane. From your nanny, dogwalker, hairstylist and yes even your super….I’ve asked a few of my mom friends to share with me what and how much they tip during this season and here’s what they had to say.  Also below is a great printable to include in on gift. If you are looking for a great gift for your dad or husband and they like to woodwork then get them the best bench drill press.
