*This post was started a few months ago but I've just now been able to edit the video.   We love watching YouTube videos. What's up Moms is an obvious favorite and the girls love Cool School. So when both of these channels posted DIY slime videos we couldn't pass up this opportunity to try … Continue reading DIY SLIME

These kids. I don’t know what to say about them except that they #lighttheworld 😉#siiunaluce #ldsyouth
15 seconds of love and affection after watching Coco. Then it was back to yelling and fighting over a phone. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Would you believe me if I said it was easier when they were smaller?!? #lifewithdaughters #thebigkidyears
A rare moment. I have been wanting to go into town for a walk, go to the museum, or just to do whatever and I can’t seem to pull myself away from laundry. Today however, I had an appointment with a friend and it was just what I needed.
🎵This is Halloween🎵... My favorite day of the year is finally here! I have spent the last 2 days baking and decorating 90 cookies for the girls to take to class. I’m exhausted but the day isn’t over. Now it’s time to prep for tonight’s festivities! Happy Halloween y’al! 🎃🕷☠️👻
Life is crazy busy and I feel like most days I’m just barely able to do the minimum. When I try to take a “day off” it never turns out like I hope. However today, I had no choice but to get myself to a spa. It was awkward since I went alone but it was definitely much needed. Thanks to my man @runner74slk who gave me this gift LAST CHRISTMAS 😅
Why is it that when we plan things, it never happens? 3 weeks into the new school year and I still haven’t been able to manage to get the house clean or go running?!? I forced myself to stay home today and I was able to catch up on laundry and clean the balcony. Here’s hoping next week will be slightly less hectic. #backtoschool
