Hey there! Let's bust out our crafty side again this week. I have a great DIY project you will want to try. This project is extremely easy and you can do so many different things with it. Here, take a peek at what I did in my little girl's nursery. Talk about a great wall of ABCs, huh? Let me show you how to do the same thing. Keep in mind, once you know how to make these letters, you can do whatever you'd like. You can get letters and put your child's name above their bed or make the alphabet like I did. You could even do something completely different- like add gems or glitter. The idea here is to show you how to get started and what you need to do to decorate the letters, and then you can let your imagination run wild. Supplies: Paper Mache Letters {use your craft store coupons to get a deal!} Foam Brushes for painting and gluing Paint - in your selected color (I used gray, coral, and seafoam green) Scrapbook Paper (1 sheet per letter) Pencil X-acto Knif...

We have a new outfit for you! Since we last talked about colored pants, I had to dig through the closet and find another pair to show you guys. What do you think of this outfit? Definitely business casual, but also very sophisticated. I am always up for business casual outfits. I think this style adds a nice touch of class. It's great for work and it's great for a weekend gathering. Recreate this style: Let me help you get this same look! The pants I am wearing are from Maurices. You can find them  here . Right now, Maurices doesn't sell the teal color that I have anymore, or maybe they are just out of stock, but these black ones are the same style.   Here  is another option that would look just as good too! The shirt I got from Stitch Fix, a monthly online clothing subscription. Of course, I can never find their clothing available for purchase, but I did stumble across  this beauty that would be a close alternative. It's off the shoulder so you could ...

Here let me show you the before pictures too. Surprised? Me too! I can't believe how great these turned out. I got the coffee table from a local auction and I purchased the end table years ago.

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. This way, both of them can be excited about seeing some of the things I love about them the most. All you need to do is find colored construction paper and cut out 14 hearts- one heart for each day of February un...

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 . The gray boots are a gift from my sister Destynie; she's such a sweetheart! Unfortunately, I cannot fin...
