When my husband has meetings after work and doesn’t get home until after bed time, the girls and I usually break the rules and the three of us snuggle in my bed and fall asleep together. They love it because every time they think he will be surprised to find them there. Last night, my husband was out so it was time to “break the bedtime rules” again. Both girls fell asleep relatively quickly because it was a long day and my youngest got hurt. Back in September she ended up in the ER with 6 stitches in her forehead, yesterday she was fighting to get in the stroller and banged her head. She ended up with a giant goose egg and a little nick which bled a little and got my oldest worked up at the sight of the blood.
As we were laying in bed, I started thinking about how lucky I was to have my two beautiful girls. As a stay-at-home mom, I often get frustrated and lose patience quickly over constant nagging, fighting, and leaving a trail of toys all over the place. It’s easy to get upset and yell but it’s nights like last night that you remember tragedies like Sandy Hook and think about how precious life is. Falling asleep next to my girls made me forget all the little things I easily get upset about. I cherish moments like last night because they won’t happen forever!
My beautiful girls who love to break the rule on occasion!

I am constantly on the search for hair products to keep my hair looking shiny and healthy. My hair is thick, frizzy, and has a lot of split ends. To get it straight, I have to blow dry and straighten my hair. Most products I have found that my stylist uses are at least $20 a bottle, if not more, and I get home and don’t love them. For participating in the event, I received products from the 
Friday nights used to mean a late night out with friends, now they mean snuggling on the couch as a family and watching movies. Of course, we have to have popcorn with our movie otherwise it wouldn’t feel like a movie theater. I had to share these amazing popcorn bowls because many friends have asked where I bought them. My mom purchased them for my girls when we went to Disney World last year. I have searched online because they would make a great gift and are perfect for movie nights. I found these adorable Disney popcorn buckets at 
Every year I end up with a pair of Uggs and a pair of snow boots (that we may or may not ever use) for my girls. Don’t get me wrong, I think Uggs are great for kids because they are very warm and comfortable but the girls already have mounds of shoes in lined up in my hallway. This year to cut back on the amount of shoes to trip on or that would hardly be used this winter, I came across an amazing pair of
The mornings can be chaotic. My daughter has to be at school at 8:45 and most days the girls aren’t up until 8 which makes getting them dressed and fed rushed. I usually have to make something quick. My girls love pancakes but with the rushed mornings it’s impossible for me to get all the ingredients together for homemade ones. I always have a box of

My girls love every excuse to get dressed up in their best dresses. They hear party and they run to their closet to pick out their fanciest attire. The Holidays are usually their favorite time of year because they get to dress their best for family gatherings and parties. This Holiday Season the girls dressed in dresses from
