My Snap Roomie #snapsnippets #snapconf
Tomorrow I’ll be headed on a jet plane to Utah for Snap blogging conference! Eek! I haven’t been on a plane all by myself since I was 19! ha! So I hope I make all my connections & actually make it to Utah! :) I actually have a stop in Memphis on the way there & a 3 hour layover in Minneapolis on the way home. Annnd if you know where I live both of those are in totally opposite directions from Utah! Kind of crazy!
I thought it would be fun to introduce you to my Snap roomie ~ my little sister, Megan. She is fun, bright, outgoing, spontaneous & fabulous….a perfect contrast to her shy & kind of boring older sister! ha! ;) #snapsnippets #snapconf
Coffee Filter Butterflies ~ Kid Craft {tutorial}
Today I’ve got a super easy & fun craft to do with the kiddos. Our family has been making these coffee filter butterflies ever since my oldest was in kindergarten (a long time ago).

So, how fresh is YOUR car? #FresherCar #CBias
Did you know that the air inside of your car can be dirtier than the air outside of your car? Yes, it can! Ewww! As a mom of 5 & with a hubby who has severe allergies, I want the air inside our car to be as clean & smell as fresh as possible. That why we recently replaced our car’s air filter with a FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter made with Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.
