Gorgeous photos..and love her tips and techniques!
FAVORITE BUDGET FRIENDLY
 BEAUTY ROUTINE – Neon Nails Manicure
via Cupcakes and Cashmere.
I love going to get a mani-pedi…..
but sometimes you don’t have the time or money for that luxury.
So here’s a tutorial to get a similar look..for less!

RECENT BARGAIN FIND- Free Basketball Hoop!
Ben saw this on the side of the road, for a couple days, to be thrown out!
needs to be cleaned up but it works great for sophia! 
she is in a “basketball” stage right now.. :)


we have a bunny that lives in the bushes that hops around while we play!
it’s been there since we moved in. sophie calls it the easter bunny. haha.



RECENT PRINTABLES FOR CLIENTS
Lately i’ve just been pumping out orders from my shop: Pretty Paperie Printables

    Hi there! What a cute post! I love the makeup routine, MAC products are my favorite!

    You daughters are just precious! Great pictures of your family at the park.

    I just realized that you are in Pittsburgh, I feel like we are practically neighbors! I am in Cleveland and drive out to Pittsburgh a few times amywar to visit a friend and shop at IKEA.

    Hope you had a great weekend!

    Wow! What a beautiful family you have! I am envious of you. I am a college student at the moment, and just opened my own etsy shop. I only have birth announcements listed, but I’m working everyday towards more listings.

    One day I hope to have a gorgeous, happy family such as your own! I actually stumbled across your blog when looking around at top mommy blogs. I will definitely be back through to read again soon! I would love to be featured, I’m really trying to get my shop off the ground. I think I added you to my circle even before finding your blog, but I will go check now!

    xo,
