Buffalo Plaid Baby

Buffalo Plaid Baby

Two things about the post title: Yes, I am 19 weeks pregnant (hence the baby reference) and we are super excited to welcome baby #2 in April 2020! Big sister E is excited about the baby and is looking forward to being a big helper to mom and dad. She is taking very good care of her baby dolls in preparation. Now, I just need to teach her how to change a diaper. Secondly, … [Read more...]

How Konmari Helped Boost My Body Confidence

July 17, 2019 by realchicrealcheap

I picked up Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up from the library (yes, I'm trying to get out of debt so book buying is not in my budget). I had seen her Tidying Up show on Netflix and my sister had used her method to go through her entire cluttered basement and sell hundreds of dollars worth of stuff on Facebook Marketplace back in January. I was inspired to go … [Read more...]

Mom Shorts

Mom Shorts

My husband said these are Mom shorts. Yeah, well. I guess guilty as charged. Except that I bought these shorts 8 years ago before we went on our honeymoon. Well, snaps for me because they still fit and this was the perfect outfit to trek multiple miles through the zoo on a 90 degree Louisiana summer day. This shirt is a bit boxy but very lightweight and offered plenty of sun … [Read more...]

Toddler Life Shirt

Toddler Life Shirt

I am a huge fan of awesome and fun t-shirts but I can be pretty picky about design. Often I will browse Amazon or Groopdealz for pages and pages and come up short and not find a design I loved at a reasonable price point. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and start designing my own shirts. I love this shirt so much! I hope you love it just as much. I feel like … [Read more...]

How I Saved Hundreds on Customized Roman Shades My Making Them Myself

Have you ever ordered a custom window treatment? They are crazy expensive. Especially if you have an odd-shaped window that requires a specific non-traditional size. Maybe you don't need custom shades but looking online for roman shades for a door is just frustrating. What if you just can't find what you are looking for and the options you are offered aren't really something … [Read more...]

Just Give Me Five Minutes Alone

Just Give Me Five Minutes Alone

I think any mom really just wants five minutes alone. Maybe to listen to "5 Minutes Alone" (c'mon, I know other moms must listen to Pantera. Maybe to make a phone call. Most definitely to take a shower. Geeze, why is it so hard to shower daily when you have a small child? Sometimes I really just need some Me time. Even if that Me time is just to take a shower in peace without a … [Read more...]

Real Life: Post-Christmas

So how was your Christmas? Was Santa good to you? Did you have a great time visiting with friends and family? Well, my Christmas was awesome aside from some unfortunate real-life side effects. We traveled to DC to visit with our families which was awesome. It's so amazing to see my daughter play with her cousin (they are six weeks apart) and watch them learn how to open … [Read more...]
