Finished My Room Organization!
Hello Y’all,

Mom Life Isn’t Always Sunshine & Rainbows!
Hello Everyone,
Guys, I have been extremely sleepy for the last few weeks and today wasn’t any different. Last night I had to do a home sleep study test which required me to lay on my back. Should be no problem right? Wrong! The problems I have with laying on my back is; either one it restricts my breathing or two I start choking. Either way it causes me to wake up more often then I want to. I’ve also been dealing with the average its summer kids don’t clean properly or leave their things everywhere problems. No big deal right? Wrong! I don’t have babies living here anymore. All the children are well capable of cleaning up after themselves but why should they. When they have a mother that can’t stand a hot mess of a house. So, of course you know I clean up when I shouldn’t. I always overdo, over spoil, over clean and so on and so forth. That’s just who I am. What can I say I don’t like a messy house.
Don’t get me wrong being a mom is the greatest accomplishment in my life. Not my book, not my blogs, not my youtube channel or anything else I’m doing in my life. Being a mom makes me the happiest I could ever be. However, I know this will totally negate everthing I just said about it being great. But, everyday isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes its getting a burger with onions and no pickles when clearly you asked for no onions and extra pickles. Mom life is real life and real life is often messy and upsetting.

Getting Organized | DIY Drawer Organizers
Hey Everyone,
I’m back and trying to get myself organized, (Very Slowly) starting with making drawer organizers. I used empty cereal boxes and the boxes from my kid’s snacks. They are so easy to make and are really cute.

Creative Kitchen Junior Chef!
Hello Everyone,
This is rather late but I wanted to share it anyway. For those of you who don’t know. My little Autumn Raine loves cooking. For her birthday one of the items on her list was cooking utensils. So, when my mother-in-law called to find out what she wanted I told her, and so we have the Creative Kitchen Junior Chef Kit which Autumn loves. Below you will find her showing you everything that came in her kit.

We purchased her’s from Amazon if you’re interested in ordering one for your little chef.
DIY Unicorn Hairbow Tutorial
Hello,
Today I created another unicorn themed item for Autumn’s birthday. DIY Unicorn Hairbows. She absolutely loves them. I can not wait for her to wear them to school on her birthday. They were super easy to make and a small amount of time. Best of all they can be made in so many different ways. After her birthday I think I will still be making a lot more. Watch the video below to see how I made them.

DIY: Unicorn Birthday Invitations!
DIY Unicorn Birthday Invitations
What you will need:
Cardstock
Ruler
Paper Trimmer
Stickers
Paint – I used pigment paint
Vinyl or stencil
Washi Tape
Pencil to trace
Markers
First things first, I cut the cardstock
If you don’t have a
Silhouette
Once I did that I traced the face on the card stock using the stencil. Then I traced the ears and horn with a mechanical pencil (not that it makes a difference). After that, I placed the flower stickers right between the ears under the horn. I then colored the ears and horns and began putting the rest of the information like Autumn’s name, age and other important information on the invitations. As well as the washi tape.
I found the metallic washi
The final step is placing the polka dots on the invitation with the paint. I like the mix of pink and aqua green colors. The final result is:
I think it turned out good. Next time I will not hand write the information. I will more than likely use my printer or the pens that came with my Silhouette Cameo

New Fragrance From Giorgio Armani | Influenster
Giorgio Armani Si PASSIONE
From Influenster
Some of you may know that I am signed up with Influenster and I have been able to try and review several products. Full-size products, not sample sizes. As well I have gotten gift cards and virtual boxes from them.
What I want to tell you about today is this amazing and I mean amazing perfume from Giorgio Armani. The name of this fascinating scent is Si PASSIONE. Initially, I thought it would be too strong for my taste. Boy was I wrong. It has a blend of rose and woody vanilla, which honestly when I heard woody, I thought I would smell like a man. No! This perfume has the most enticing, mild, subtle scent. Honestly, more than I can ask for. I love it! Believe me, once the bottle has run out I will be purchasing more.
Again, Influenster is how I was able to get this product (full-size) for free as part of a contest. If I win I will receive more products from Giorgio Armani. Sign Up for yourself today!
