Hello! Father's Day will be here before you know it! Eek! I don’t really need a reason to celebrate the dads in my life.

My Favorite Kitchen Tips

Hello, there! What room do you spend the most time in at your home? For me, it’s the kitchen! I am literally in the kitchen all day long! From cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, crafting, helping with homework, taking out the trash, paying bills & everything in between you can find me in there! ha! Keeping my kitchen clean & organized is extremely important to me. Our home just runs better when I have the kitchen in order & the dishes put away. Today I am sharing My Favorite Kitchen Tips. Some of these tips are time saving, some help me save money & some just save my sanity! ha! I’m also sharing a free cut file for some super cute kitchen labels. I also have a pretty awesome coupon from Hefty Ultra Strong to tell you about, too! So let’s get started. :)

Hello! Hello! It feels like I had a huge break from blogging! We had an amazing weekend.

This year I am helping out with Girl’s Camp crafts (again!). This year we are simplifying a little bit & just offering two crafts. These DIY Wooden Arrows are one the easy crafts we are doing!

So keep reading for all the fun details!

Bentonville Film Festival with Scotts® & EcoScraps®

Yesterday my daughter & I had the opportunity to visit the Bentonville Film Festival in beautiful downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. It was a beautiful spring day here in Northwest Arkansas. This is the second year for the festival that celebrates women & diversity in the media & film industry. It takes a lot of manpower & sponsors to put together this amazing event. The BFF is sponsored in part by Scotts® & EcoScraps®. I love that companies like this are supporting women & diversity. I also loved checking out their amazing Step and Repeat Wall. Isn’t it gorgeous? I think I need one in my backyard! ;)

Hello! You probably know by now (I’ve talked about it a lot!) my son is graduating from high school this year. As graduation day nears I am getting more nervous & excited. Annnnnd not to mention emotional! Quick! Pass the tissues! ;) I have found that as I focus on things like ordering announcements, thinking of graduation gift ideas, planning his graduation party & taking senior pictures I’m not quite as emotional. I’ve got to stay busy & not dwell on the fact that my baby is leaving me!
