Read MoreI couldn't be more excited about our upcoming Halloween party at the end of the month! I've been spending lots of time finding the perfect decorations, fun gifts for guests, and planning recipes. With all this effort, I wanted to make sure I had the perfect invite, but nothing pre-made really met my expectations. That's when I decided making them myself is the way to go and it was a must to make it fun! I went to a local Paper Source store in search of inspiration when I discovered heat embossing!

At 8 months old, and with two of her bottom teeth grown in, I thought the rest would be easy? Right? Over night she got 4 teeth and she DEFINITELY let me know about it! With all the tears, and testing of what seems like dozens of teething remedies, I thought it was appropriate to write about what's worked for her! Hopefully it helps you!!!
Read MoreWith all the rain and gloom we've been getting here in the desert, I've been finding myself transitioning to my fall wardrobe.
Read MoreThis project took me a couple of days to complete, but the finished product is worth the effort! My daughter LOVES to look at all the hearts floating above her while she's on the changing table. Not to mention, the entire thing cost me $5 bucks. Not a bad deal considering how expensive artwork can be. You can custom this however you like, think different shapes! Circles, flowers, squares, bears, any easy shape to trace can be made into this wall art. Enjoy!
