Mother’s Day is right up there at the top of my favorite holidays. Not because it’s a day where I get spoiled, but it’s a day that reminds me of the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’ll never, ever forget the first time I laid eyes on my son…I know it’s super cliched…but it was the best day of my life. Becoming a mother. I never knew I would love it so much.
Now we have another little boy about to join our family and I can’t be more …
I have to be completely honest…I Googled Cinco de Mayo because I wasn’t quite sure if it was definitely Mexico’s Independence Day or not. Here is the definition Wikipedia so kindly generated…
“Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated in the United States[1] and in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla).
It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West …

My Top 5 Favorite Nail Products–Hempz Moisterizer, Fish Oil, Seche Vite, Star Pro Foot File, Soak Off Gel Polish
If your like a lot of people, you buy way too many beauty products. You’ll end up using most of the products once or twice, eventually sticking them in the back of a junk drawer or medicne cabinet, until one day you purge your bathroom throwing away almost all those beauty products you spent far too much of your hard earned money on. I mean, I never do this…ever…but I …
I totally forgot to post a pic of these cute nails I did for my awesome, gorgeous, fun friend Kendra!
