Banana Split Bites-Simplee Thrifty

Do you love Banana Splits? We have a new way to enjoy this delicious treat and its simple and easy! Instead of making a huge Banana Split try these Banana Split Bites! Makes a great summer treat!



Furniture Update Using DIY Chalk Paint-Living in His Way

When Joel and I got married, my parents offered us their old bedroom furniture for our new home. Sweet! Free furniture!  The dressers were a little 80s but we were happy to receive them.




5 Tricks to make Decluttering Fun-My Love for Words 
Let’s face it, if I enjoyed decluttering my house never would’ve become cluttered in the first place.
Despite my love for making lists, I’m just not one of those born organized personalities.



Imperfectly pretty posies-Flourish and Knot 
Sometimes things just don’t turn out the way you thought they would. Cakes fail to rise. Paint refuses to cure. Flowers…well, they can just be finicky at times.
Last Wednesday I went grocery shopping (which means I came home with $60 worth of groceries and $15 in flowers). I had had a rough day and really just needed spring. I set about preparing my haul.



5 LIES ALL MOMS TELL-Written Reality 
Motherhood.
How can the most beautiful opportunity be the most terrifying and exhausting responsibility?
Regardless of how many kids you have or even how old they are, moms everywhere fall into the trap of trying to do everything for their families.



Sloppy Joe Cups-A Sprinkle of This and That
Last night, the hubby and I were talking about food we used to eat as a kid.  TV dinners were hot and we both recalled how the back used to pop up into a scene of some sort.  Kind of like a tv screen.  Then there were fish sticks.  I didn't enjoy them as much, but the hubby just loved them.  How about Sloppy Joe?  Do you remember those?  Ground meat in a barbecue type sauce that is just smothered in cheese.  Oh my...what an easy dinner!  Delicious and fast!  I think your kiddos need to be introduced to these little dinner treasures.  If they already know about the Sloppy Joe, they're going to want some of this version for sure!  It involves your muffin tin!!!



NARS SEPHORA BEAUTY INSIDER BIRTHDAY GIFT SWATCHES-Tutorials, Hauls, Reviews, N'at
I was filled with anticipation when I found out the 2015 Sephora Beauty Insider Birthday gift was a set of two NARS Lip Pencils! I haven't tried any NARS products yet, but I've been dying to try the brand for a while. What could make this even better? Both lip pencils are pretty close to being full size - Sephora doesn't mess around with their birthday gifts! Click through to see swatches and first impressions.



Decorating with Ladders-Penny's Vintage Home 
My $15 yard sale Library ladder has turned out to be one of my most versatile  "furniture pieces"



Easy Blueberry Cake with Whipped Lemon Frosting-Homemaking Hacks 
I’ve been craving blueberry cake with lemon frosting or icing lately.  How about easy blueberry cake with an even simpler lemon whipped cream frosting? I am not really sure if I’ve ever actually had it before, but seems I’ve been seeing this flavor combo all over lately.  Tempting idea for this time of the year. I actually made this cake for Easter for a delicious change of pace. The beauty is that it’s really easy with the use of store bought cake mix and a very simplified whipped cream frosting.




Ranch Chicken Club Roll-ups-Life With The Crust Cut Off
These roll-ups are quick, delicious and versatile.  You can change the sauce up or the cheese, a honey mustard swiss combo sounds heavenly, or a bbq sauce cheddar, yummy!  These are so easy to make you could even make a few different varieties to suit all your families taste for dinner.



Root Beer Float Martini-The Classy Chapter 
The other day I was grocery shopping and came across root beer flavored vodka and of course I instantly thought of root beer floats. I’m not a big drinker, in fact, I hardly ever drink, but you can never go wrong with a good martini.




Copycat Starbucks Birthday Cake Frappuccino Recipe-SweepTight
Did you happen to get a Starbucks Birthday Cake Frappuccino during the four or so days that they had them available? Well, I did, and it pretty much ruined me. I almost wish I hadn’t sampled the limited-time deliciousness of this beverage.



State Flower Applique Quilt-Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom 
I also wanted to share with you an on-going project that I hope to start working on regularly now that I have officially become a full time RV’er! It is my Appliqued State Flower Quilt!



April 2015 Ipsy Bag-Skin Stuff by Katy 
Hey everyone! I'm really excited that my Ipsy bag came in the mail yesterday, and I hadn't even gotten a tracking code. Weird, but that's happened before! This month's theme is called Beautifully Bohemian, and I'm excited for this one.



How To Plan Ahead To Make Healthy Cooking Easy-Ramblings of a Bad Domestic Goddess
Although, the thought of cooking after a hard and stressful day at work, or maybe a fight with your noisy neighbors, is a mood dampener; it often makes a lot of people settle for much less. Sometimes you just don’t have anything to cook! If this settling happens several times a week for you, some change in your planning habits is required.



Teaching Kids About Money-Pragmatic Mom
What do we need to teach our kids about personal finance NOW when they are still too little to credit card or handle a checking account? And what about do as I say, not as I do? What if WE don’t have great personal finance skills ourselves? Does this mean our kids are doomed to a life of poor financial management?

Butter Pecan Birthday Cake-Bowl of Happiness

Last Friday was my husband’s birthday and I decided to bake him a cake to celebrate!
I chose to make a Butter Pecan Birthday Cake this year, inspired by a recipe that I was given by his mom. She’s famous in the family for her butter usage…and for this cake! And he loves pecans, and vanilla cake so this was a perfect choice.




Make Your Own Solid Perfume Lockets-Living Chic on the Cheap

Here is an easy DIY- Make Your Own Solid Perfume Lockets. Of course, you can use this tutorial to just make the solid perfume.





Thoughts on Holy Week-The New Mrs. Adventures

At seven years old on a hot Saturday night in early July I vividly remember asking my mom and dad if we could "go talk" after dinner.
I was a rather dramatic child, especially for my age.
But on this particular evening I'm not sure if we can chalk it up the dramatic side of me, or if something in me knew...my life was going to change forever that night.
Eternity would be sealed.That night I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.





Vintage Demilune Console Table Makeover-My Nearest and Dearest

The mother-in-law of a friend of my mothers (did you follow that?) is no longer able to live in her home and the family has been auctioning or giving away furniture from the house. My mother saw this old demilune console table and thought it’d be right up my alley. I am so glad she picked it up because it is perfect for our house.




Easy Tiramisu-Living the Gourmet

The dinner party, that well-planned formal affair that masquerades as an impromptu get together. While the typical dinner party exists almost entirely for the sake of itself, when done well there are precious few social rituals surrounding a meal that can offer such a sense of victory and achievement, from showing off your latest masterful dishes to finding an excuse to setup your best glassware.




Why I Don’t Drink Coffee in the Morning-Living Awareness Institute

Not that I don’t ever drink coffee, because I do. Especially on the weekend if we go out to our favorite café or when my husband fills the house with the aroma of his top shelf brew on Sunday mornings.
I figured out long ago that if I make a ‘to-do’ list while I am on coffee, I need to be on coffee to implement it. My adrenals just don’t need the extra jitters that coffee offers.





Cheesy Chicken Rice Casserole Recipe-Country Fit Family

I absolutely love making casseroles for supper. They are quick and easy to throw together. You can use whatever you have on hand and always turn out delicious! With casseroles there is enough for my husband, our two kids and I for our meal and plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. My husband loves it when I make extra for him so he can have a warm lunch while at work.





After Workout Protein Smoothie-Home Is Where The Heart Is

Do you love drinking smoothies? Do you make a lot of smoothies at home? If so, I have some ideas for you!
Ever since I starting working out, I love blending my own protein smoothie couple times a week. My basic formula for my smoothie is the same, but each time it may be different. I use frozen/fresh fruit, plain Greek yogurt, honey, cocoa powder (sometimes), protein powder, juice, and water.





SPRING HAND TOWELS-Anna Love Craft

How are you? On next friday it will be celebrated the Day of the Tree and Forest. Inspired on that special date and in the arrival of spring, I "planted" some trees on two hand towels. I love trees and now it's exciting to see how quickly they are filled with little leaves. I made applications with a very flowery fabric and the result was this! White or green, which one do you like more?



6 Ways to Avoid Power Struggles With Children-Mom Me Matters

All three of my children are headstrong and can be extremely stubborn at times. When they refuse to do as told, it can be frustrating and anger provoking. Many times I’ve resorted to yelling and promising all sorts of punishments if they don’t listen. You can imagine how well those strategies usually work for me.



Easy Crafts Fabric Banner-Multi Tasking Maven

This DIY handmade fabric banner is a great easy craft to make! Fabric banners are all the rage right now and make great for decorations for spring, baby showers, wedding showers, graduation, birthday parties and more. This DIY project requires no sewing and just a few materials to make. You probably have some left over fabric in your craft room ready to recycle into this fantastic handmade banner.




No Bake Lemonade Cheesecake Recipe-Spaceships and Laser Beams

While shopping at Walmart this weekend, I found new Country Time Lemonade Starters. Talk about genius! There are three flavors, all flavored with real lemon juice: Berry Lemonade, Classic Lemonade, Half Lemonade & Half Iced Tea. It's liquid in a bottle and you just add water. They are really easy and convenient to make -- and super delicious with 50% less sugar than regular sodas. Because each bottle serves two purposes for me {a recipe and a beverage!} they're really affordable as well. Since I often have guests pop in, I love that you can make a single glass or a whole pitcher thanks to their easy measuring guide on the side of the bottle.



FABBY: Easter Tablescape 2015-Fabbys Living

I chose to set my Easter table setting, with what is our everyday china, which is a mix and match of colors and that makes it more fun and not boring for our everyday use and specially for Spring because of the pastel colors.




Can you be too stressed to run?-Mom's Home Run

Here's what happened. I was doing the school run, running as usual. When we passed a wooded area I saw it: a red cat. It was quite dead. And it looked júst like our red cat. So I was quite devastated, thinking our cat was lying dead in the woods.



Stacy’s Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Butter Cream Frosting-Intelligent Domestications

Although we tend to associate Strawberry recipes with the summer months, you will want this recipe for year round occasions.





Save Money Give Yourself a Salon Quality Pedicure at Home-Oh! My Heartsie Girl

I love to have pretty soft smooth feet with a nice color of polish, and when I can I will go to the salon, but there are times that I dont have the time it takes to go to the salon or the extra money.
