    We Tried the Blindfolded Makeup Challenge

    May 31, 2024 - By 

    Have you heard of the blindfolded makeup challenge? It’s where you do someone’s makeup blindfolded! My friend Jenna let me try it on her, and it was pretty challenging! It was hard to find the makeup and figure out what was in my hand and then find her face. I don’t think I have a future in blind makeovers. The video linked here is the full unedited version with all the laughing and fumbling around. I posted a short Reel on Instagram with just the highlights. Blindfolded Makeup: Challenge Accepted We can’t take credit for coming up with this idea.…

    The Case of the Mysterious Poo Gremlin

    February 7, 2024 - By 

    Sometimes I write about the total nonsense that happens on a daily basis, and today we have a mystery in the house. It all started with a little piece of poop on the rug. It was small, like cat poo size. We have a cat and a dog and figured it could have been either. Then a few days later, there was a piece of poo stuck on the corner of the stairs. The cat doesn’t usually go down the stairs, so we blamed the dog. He has long butt hair and gets the occasional dingleberry. We thought maybe it…

    How I Became a Busy Donkey

    July 18, 2023 - By 

    Do you know what a busy donkey is? I probably wouldn’t have run across it if I hadn’t purchased a couple of shirts from Jacksonville Mom. What followed was a comedy of errors with a surprise ending involving a dancing donkey. B-U-S-Y D-O-N-K-E-Y It all started with a purchase from their blog’s store, which is through Tee Spring. I picked out one shirt that said “Raising Beach Babes” with a palm tree and another black one that said “Jax.” Weeks went by, holidays happened, I went on a cruise, and at some point, I realized I never got the tank…

    We Made Chocolate Emoji Bars and Totally Nailed It

    November 19, 2019 - By 

    My son loves chocolate and I love doing crafty things, so a “make your own emoji chocolate bars” kit sounded like the perfect blend of two of our favorite things. It looks fun! It looks easy! We got this! …or do we? The chocolate that comes in the kit is plain milk chocolate, but you can level it up with ingredients like nuts and spices to make it even more fun and flavorful. Just be sure to check if the ingredient you’ll be adding is safe for kids. You can check this blog from Serenity Kids that explains if cinnamon…

    I Got a Felt Letter Board, Now What?

    April 12, 2018 - By 

    When I first saw bloggers posting about upping their Insta-game with a felt letter board, I didn’t really get it. And then when I saw it, I was like, well now I have to have it! It’s a framed felt board with little slots to stick in letters and numbers. The more I looked, the more I saw them being used and felt like I needed to give it a try. What Can You do with a Felt Letter Board? You can use them to write fun or inspiring messages to post on Instagram or Facebook. They are a little…
