Where Unique, Chic and Organized Meet

It was a night of fun with some great bloggers, champagne and great food. Who could ask for more right?

This outfit is for her … [Read more...]
Coming to terms with my body is a very hard thing to do. I've been in denial for some time about it. Although I am aware of it, I don't look in the mirror much. This last weekend I really looked. NAKED looked! It was horrendous. I had 3 cesarean sections. There is literally a flap of stomach hanging over the area with the scar. Did I mention when I look down I can't see my vagina … [Read more...]

I have to admit I'm a instant gratification girl. I shop a lot and spend more money then I should. The HaveTheTalkNow contest really hit home because R & I talk about teaching the kids about money and saving. In addition, we are focusing a lot on donating and helping others. Of the six cards given as prompts I chose the above because R & I have talked over and over again about … [Read more...]
