Inspirational Mom :: Shelly Ehler of Show No Towels
You know when you come across a product and think “I wish I had thought of that!” Well, that is how I felt when I came across the very clever idea that Shelly Ehler created with her Show No Towels. You might have seen her on ABC’s Shark Tank last year where she pitched her idea and business. Or possibly seen her talking on TV or on the radio about how Disney Resorts is now offering her towels with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Talk about hitting the jackpot idea! I met Shelly at one of Tory Johnson’s Spark & Hustle events and we spoke a moment…

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…

Recipes :: Adorable Spring-Inspired Snacks and Lunches
Now is the perfect time of year for a picnic in the park with the family or if weather in your neck of the woods won’t permit that – try a picnic in your living room!

It is actually colder here than it has been in weeks! While the weather is not neccesssarily cooperating, I am still excited and looking forward to the warmer temps and the change in wardrobe. I always find myself challenged as the seasons change and winter to spring is certainly no exception.It can be a little tricky to transition your wardrobe so it’s important to have pieces that can take you from one season to…

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!

My daughter starts spring break tomorrow afternoon and we are working on our Things To Do List this weekend. Here are some fun crafts you can do with the kids while on break that would look great…

Reflections :: Cultivating Kairos
Image courtesy of Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce My mother came from the east coast over the weekend for a short but full trip, and the next thing I knew? We spent the weekend drenched in kairos. We took the ferry to Catalina, and someplace offshore, in the middle of the bumping and rolling sea, living kicked in. Kairos, according to Wiki, is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment. To really understand it though, we need to consider the idea of kairos next to an idea or word that describes the way we are used to experiencing life. This word is chronos, which means time.
