Teaching children about money and financial responsibility is the job of parents, and it’s a lesson that will reward your kids for a lifetime. The best way to teach children about money, being organized, and good financial planning is by example, and once your kids are old enough to understand what money is, there is […]
One of my favorite retro style trends from a past fashion era has recently returned- Peplum!- and as someone who loves feminine fashion trends (the girlier the better!), I couldn’t be happier. Peplum is fabulous way for us ladies to enhance our female silhouette, by emphasizing a narrow waist and curvy hips (and if you […]
It’s totally not my style, but it’s cute.
I learn something new everyday! I had never heard that word before. I do like th elook, as long as it doesn’t make my hips look huge
HMM this is one of those looks that certain styles looks good and others I am not fond of LOL. Love the one on STella that is a doll! But the Ralph Lauren one, not for me 🙂
I could carry this look off before I had my son… not so sure it would be flattering now. 🙂
This is one of those fashions that some wear better than others. LOL.
I never knew that those were called! Yes they are really cute!
I love it and I can’t wait to add a piece or two into my wardrobe!
Love that style!
I LOVE this style! I never knew the name of it though. the first outfit and the red short are gorgeous!
I love this look, too.
I love this look and never knew it had an actual name. The ruffle hides any little leftover bulge too!
Oh I agree whole-heartedly! The girlier the better and I love peplum!
I really like that look, but with my hips it is not for me.
I didn’t even know there was a term for this. But I agree, it’s very feminine and would define the smallest part of your figure.
Those are so cute!
Lokks good on everyone pictured but it would make me look horrible lol.
This is a come back I remember well in the 80’s.
It really is a wonderful fashion trend. I love the clothes you featured in this post.
I think its cute at times but I don’t think I could pull it off personally.
I have plenty of hip and plenty of butt I need something to minimize lol but love that color
I’ve never heard of Peplum before. But I suppose it does look nice!
Oh many I must not be a fashionista because I’ve never heard of this trend, but I do adore the look!
This is a look I’m all for! Especially like the red bustle…
This post brought to you by Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done.. All opinions are 100% mine. My dad has a green thumb. He grows beautiful trees, lovely flowers, and an amazing vegetable garden that provides our family with organic salads for months each year. I don’t have a green thumb, but I have a great appreciation […]
I didn’t even know you could do that! Those are beautiful displays!
wow those look gorgeous. I especially love the ones in the rain boots
This is wonderful! I am in the process of growing some paper whites and received the recommendation of adding a bit of, (are you ready for this?) hard liquor to their water, so that their stems are stunted a bit and grow stronger to prevent them from falling later. *Side note: I love the fact that alcohol can make a plant stand straighter when it does the opposite to most of us.* I’ll keep you posted on their growth and whether they make it. Right now, they look a little funny, but in six weeks, hopefully I’ll have a fun little arrangement in my house.
I’ve never done any type of bulb gardening. I don’t really have a green thumb so I’m afraid of failure, I think.
so pretty. I’m ready for spring. I redid our landscaping on the side of the house and found some blubs and didn’t realize what they were and threw them out the following yrs the flowers did not come up… then I felt bad
My husband takes care of the bulbs, and I take care of the plants I bring home from the nursery.
I love bulb flowers, they’re so much more delicate.
I just love tulips!
I had bought some bulbs to plant out front for a quick pop of happy color this spring and didn’t get them in the ground in time. I’m so disappointed that I’ll be using annuals again when bulbs are so easy if you can find the time to dig the hole.
I love the flowers in the Spring.
I love the idea in the boots. So cute!
Those photos are beautiful!
I can’t wait to start planting!
OMG – I love the rain boots and the easter centerpiece! Awesome ideas!
Tulips are my most favorite flowers ever – always wanted to plant them, thanks for sharing the site.
I tried planting bulbs a few years ago. Some rodent ate a bunch of them and then relocated the rest. We still have the occasional flower pop up out of nowhere.
Those are such pretty displays! I love the flowers in the boots!
How cool! I can’t wait to try new things in the new house!
I love the bulbs in the boots!! How creative!
Wow these are great, and I love when gardening is made easy. I manage to kill most of my plants lol.
I love bulbs! I really should buy some more. And maybe get fancy with them!
I used to spend more time working on a flower and vegetable garden each year than I have the last 3 years. Maybe I’ll get back into it more this year. 🙂
Two weeks until Valentine’s Day, and we have some great suggestions for gift for a special woman in your life, whether it’s your sweetheart or your daughter (whomever you call your Valentine!)…we love these picks because they are not only adorable and unique, but fun too (and I would personally love each and every one): […]
I am so looking into those eye candy products. My eyes are getting rougher looking as I age:(
I would love any of these, great ideas!
I would love the eye candy one. My eyes need a treatment from lack of sleep LOL
Wonderful gift ideas!
Great gift ideas and I would love to receive any of them!
These are such great ideas that anyone would be lucky to receive! I love the touring NYC idea!
My birthday is so close to Valentine’s Day. I end up with a gift for one, but not the other. This year, I’ve picked out what I want and am getting it.
great gift ideas!
I have a bracelet very similar to this one, and I love it!
I wish we had a city pass here in Las Vegas.
I just love that bracelet! What I want for Valentine’s Day is mainly flowers. 🙂
I love to drink tea, and love to have friends over for tea often to try out new recipes, like the Raspberry Cinnamon French Toast Recipe I share below. There is something relaxing and social about drinking tea, and I have a collection of tea chests with a variety of teas to offer guests. Green […]
We’ve always taught our son about money. When he was 5 we bought him a set of books by Dave Ramsey for kids and it has been invaluable. But I’ll definitely be checking this out!
What a cool concept!!
This is great, and such an important thing to teach kids. These days some of them think it grows on trees.
Wow, this sounds like a great site.
I really need to use a chore tracker my kids are so lazy its tiring
I agree. Teaching kids the value of money is invaluable.
What a great way to teach your kids about money!
I could use that for my 28 year old…seriously.
That’s an interesting site to use to teach kids. We like Dave Ramsey too!
What a great way to teach kids about money. We teach our kids about saving and using their money when they want treats, it’s so much different to them when they are having to pay for it themselves.
Thanks for the wealth of information! Great tips!
This sounds like a wonderful learning tool!
When my boys are older I am so going to be using this website!
I am totally sending this website to my hubby. He will LOVE it. Thanks for sharing it!
this is great for all ages.
Sounds like a great site.
