Our Rocky Mountain Family Adventure: Part III
Looking to send a postcard with a spectacular mountain range, a glacier, or wild animals on it? Then the town of Jasper, located in the heart of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, is the destination for you. Last summer we flew into Calgary and stuffed as much luggage as is humanly possible into a rental car. We strapped three children (aged 14, 10, and 8) in the back seat and headed northwest—256 miles to be exact. The drive along the way was an adventure in itself. Our first stop was in Banff. Our second stop was the Columbia Icefield. Our third stop, and final destination, was the town of Jasper which is…

Garden :: 10 Unique Container Gardening Ideas
Yesterday my daughter and I visited our local nursery and I was inspired to work on my back patio this spring. We don’t have a large area so the following are great ideas for small spaces. It is probably a good thing since I don’t have a ton of extra time like most moms – but I do get a lot of pleasure working in the garden and love to see when it is all cleaned up and looking good! Now if I can just get my (almost) one year old 110+ puppy to not eat the new flowers we planted! Fabric Covered Planters = Divine! Hands down…

So I found ideas via Pinterest that are doable for folk like me – something fun but won’t take all day to make. A Birdhouse: Now this is my kind of lunch! The Cookie Cutter…

Fabulous DIY Springtime Crafts
Spring officially started last week and I am so happy to see the sun out and birds chirping! Springtime is a time of new beginnings. We have been working on our house, slowly de-cluttering the random stuff that somehow manages to find its way onto my counters and kitchen table! By getting rid of these things that we no longer need, has freed up more space to start working on some fun springtime crafts.

Inspirational Mom :: Linda Sadeghi of The CAMP and The LAB Anti-Mall
If you are local, you have probably visited The CAMP or The Lab Anti-Mall in Costa Mesa. I had heard about The Lab years ago from my friend who is pretty on top of trends and she and I would visit the shops there a couple times a month – pre-kids! But now with our kids in-tow, we have enjoyed lunch over there as well. I really like that both The CAMP and The LAB offer a variety of shops such as Urband Outfitters and some of the best restaurants in town! My favorite breakfast place, The Old Vine, is located at the backend of The CAMP and I…
