With temperatures in the 70s, we enjoyed running with friends through the five color chalk stations. We wore white shirts and were ready to get covered in a rainbow of chalk. So many excited participants were waiting to get started at the start line. I saw many fun white outfits and Read More... {Read More...}

I live in the very dusty state of Arizona with my very messy and creative four year old daughter, my husband, a big dog, and a cat.

We have had a few notable stains including red paint from a holiday project gone wrong and grape juice from my daughter's sippy cup a few years ago. As hard as I've tried, nothing has seemed to remove the stains and they are now cleverly covered with rugs. When I heard about Mohawk Read More... {Read More...}

Girls Night Out with New Kids On The Block, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men
Some of my earliest memories of sleepovers with my best friends are dancing to New Kids On The Block songs and recording music videos.
