Do you get bored with food sometimes or am I the only one?

By simply changing the shape of a food can make all the difference in the world and take a boring classic to a whole ‘nother level! These Parmesan Herb Potato Crisps have become my new…
Chicamole Recipe
0Holy moly, it’s Chicamole! You might be thinking I have gone off the deep end once again, but fear not! I am still semi-sane. Chicken + Guacamole = Chicamole. Aka my new favorite go-to lunch/snack. This hybrid of fresh, delicious ingredients happened by accident when I was on one of my avocado benders. I literally ate an avocado at every meal. This was one of those things that I said to myself after eating for the first time “why didn’t I think of this sooner?!” Yeah, it’s that kind of dish. I have topped pretty much everything with Chicamole – crackers, bread,…

Sofia The First Birthday Party Ideas
0Anyone with girls know that princesses are the coolest EVER! Baby O’s is obsessed with Sofia the First, so we decided to throw her a princess party.

After the first birthday we just do small family celebrations or take the kids to Disney…

How To: Feng Shui Your Workspace
0My husband runs his own company out of our third bedroom and I’ve tried making it feel more like his own space than just a room with a desk and a bed. Problem is, we don’t have a lot of space to work with, so it quickly turns into a catchall room. The poor guy spends 10-12 hours a day in this place and I go in for 5 minutes and I feel claustrophobic and overwhelmed. God knows how he gets anything accomplished. I am a firm believer in if your space is organized, so is your mind. If it’s…
