On Saturday night, I hosted an event, along with Cricut, for 20 lovely ladies. Most were friends and family, but a few were guests of friends, and it was nice to meet new faces and spend time being creative, and watch everyone enjoy themselves. The purpose of the event was to introduce craft enthusiasts to […]
Hi guys, and Happy Friday! Before I go on, can I just remind you all to enter this giveaway, for $100 credit to Kika and a beautiful gift basket from LaFresh? Also, I’m just 2 away from reaching 2000 Facebook fans on my page. I’d love to reach it this weekend! Thanks in advance. Okay, […]
It’s been a little over 6 months since our very good friends moved cross country to Memphis. In a way, I think it’s natural to say that life has resumed as normal since they’ve left, but in so many ways, and quite often, we feel their absence. If just the kids were friends, or just […]
Some days, you just can’t look at another leafy green vegetable based smoothie or juice. Some days you miss the old you, who’d stroll through McDonald’s on a Tuesday afternoon and order a McFlurry and fries on the side, to dip in my McFlurry. Sigh.

I have one last giveaway for you all, before we head back into regularly scheduled posts. This past week has been exciting and exhausting.

Hello and welcome to the new For The Love Of! I’ve been working on the new site with my lovely and talented designer Sara Jensen for the last two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out. When I reached out to Sara, looking for a new design, I had several major […]
A few weeks back, BuzzFeed contacted me to ask if I’d like to create an original DIY post for their site, that was an Anthropologie hack. I of course was thrilled and honored and said, “Yes, yes, yes!” And then I found out this wasn’t a paid gig, and I went “wahwah”, but went forward […]
Over 8 years ago, I gave birth to my first child; a beautifully healthy 7 pound little girl, with a face like her daddy’s and toes just like mine. I went through the usual range of emotions that a new mother goes through — happiness, joy, anxiety, worry, fear, and delirium. I was exhausted but […]
I seem to find myself in a constant flux between carrying a diaper bag and carrying a regular purse. On highly chaotic days, I carry both. We’re in that awkward stage where we don’t really need to haul all the diaper gear around when taking short trips to the store, so I often just throw […]
