30 Day Skincare Challenge

One of the biggest beauty regrets I have doesn’t have to do with a bad hair style or a crazy makeup routine I sported during my high school years.  No, my biggest beauty regret is that I didn’t do a better job taking care of my skin and protecting it when I had the chance. […]

DIY Skateboard Deck Swing

Believe it or not, Taylor came up with the idea to build a swing out of a skateboard deck. While I believe my daughter is a creative genius, I do have to wonder if she saw this somewhere, and unknowingly tucked it away in her subconscious mind a long time ago, because the idea was […]

How To Coordinate The Family’s Style

I’m a sucker for somewhat coordinated family outfits for holidays and even photos.

FInd Me Here and There

So to be honest, when the hullabaloo about Google Reader going away starting July 1st was going on, I didn’t much pay attention. At the time, July 1st seemed like a really long ways away, and I was still trying to get my kids to school on time, carrying homework that was completed and a […]

Patriotic Pinwheel Cookies Made With Royal Icing

I’m taking the next few days off to be with my family and enjoy summer, so I thought I would leave you with one of my favorite tutorials that I pulled over from my old blog.  I recreated a cookie that was on the cover of Martha Stewart magazine, skeptical I would be able to […]

Out and About In Olvera Street
