One Year

August 27, 2014 by Alison 6 Comments

  I didn’t realize it until the last minute….well, I did a couple of weeks ago and then forgot again, because you know, I’ve got a couple things going on here and there,  but today is my 1 year Blogiversary! It’s weird because it doesn’t seem like an entire year has gone by since I […]

Chili’s® at Home – Try Something Bold

August 25, 2014 by Alison 5 Comments

  Thank you to Bellisio Foods for sponsoring this story. My love for bold taste and convenience is all my own.   What’s for dinner? That’s a question that people around my house start asking before breakfast is even over every day. It’s also a question I dread because between a full time job outside the […]

The Great DIY Closet Makeover

August 20, 2014 by Alison 13 Comments

I mentioned on Facebook the other day that we had decided to tackle a closet makeover in the master bedroom of our home. Master bedroom…that sounds fancy right? Well, that’s not exactly the case. To start, we live in a manufactured home…and not a new one at that. There’s nothing wrong with manufactured homes, in […]

Why I’ve Never Met Some of My Best Friends

August 18, 2014 by Alison 8 Comments

I’m socially awkward. There I said it. Most people would never know that when I’m meeting them and making small talk for the first time as is expected of an adult, it’s actually taking everything I have not to tuck tail and run the other direction. I often say I really don’t like “people” in […]

DIY Pallet and Mason Jar Bathroom Organizer

August 14, 2014 by Alison 22 Comments

  I’ve become quite fond of pallet projects lately (hubby not so much because he’s my helper by default). I love these projects though because they’re relatively easy, cost effective, and you can really customize them to your liking. There are truly so many different things you can make out of pallets that it’s sometimes […]

Confidence When You Need It

August 12, 2014 by Alison 12 Comments

Thanks to U by Kotex for sponsoring today’s story and showing me how to #savetheundies!  Ladies, today we’re going to talk about self-confidence. Confidence is so important because if you don’t feel good about yourself, you probably don’t feel good about anything you’re doing no matter how amazing it may be. No matter how confident […]

August 11, 2014 by Alison 13 Comments

  I received this awesome collection complimentary from Brand Backer to facilitate my review. All opinions however, are 100% my own and based on my experience with the product.   It’s no secret, I’m a makeup junkie.
