Beef Tacos with Pineapple Salsa and Crema

It's taco time! Here we are to add a little bit of the tropics to your tacos this week. A little pineapple goes a long way in this recipe. It adds a nice sweet kick to dinner that's not too sweet but adds a nice flavor.

Valentine Paper Heart Door Decorations

Here is a great way to show love to your children for the month of February. I started doing this last year for my son and he enjoyed every minute of it. He liked it so much that every day he would be excited to see what I had written down. What am I talking about? Well, let me tell you... Valentine's Paper Heart Door Decorations! All I did was cut out these cute red, pink, white, etc. paper hearts and wrote down one thing that I love about my son. Then each day I would tape one paper heart to his bedroom door for him to see. By Valentine's Day, he had 14 of these awesome hearts on his door showing him some of the things that I love about him. Since my daughter is a little bit older this year, she's only one- haha, I thought about doing this for her as well.

All you need to do is find colored construction paper and cut out 14 hearts- one heart for each day of February un...

Gray Shirt with Black Leggings

There is nothing more comfortable than wearing a loose shirt with leggings. Am I right? I always struggle deciding if I want to wear something casual or a little more dressed up. Yes, it's easier to wear more casual outfits than outfits that are dressy, but I love comfy clothes more. Who doesn't? Now, don't get me wrong, I love experimenting with dressy outfits too. You'll see some of those soon enough. This week, however, I'm going with an outfit that is easy, but SO cute. So here it is, my Sunday Comfy Casual Outfit. I just got this gray shirt from Kohls last weekend and I love it! It has a loose fit so it is very comfortable. You can find it  here . The black leggings are one of my favorites. They are the softest leggings I've ever purchased! I highly recommend getting a pair. You will LOVE them too! You can find them at Maurices   here .
