Im gonna take my blog to the internet...

Hey guys! This is going to be my first blog post *insert super nervous face here* I've wanted to start a blog for years. Before kids, before social media was so huge, and before most people my age probably really knew what a blog was.  I just never did it because I didn't feel good enough or maybe it was fear...fear that no one would read it or that they would think it was silly, but now that I'm older and wiser my attitude is who cares!? Josh (my husband) encouraged me to do it for fun and as an outlet. So here I am trying to figure out how to start a blog! For those of you that don't know me personally, I am a stay at home mom to T H R E E little boys. It can be pretty exhausting at times, hence the need for a hobby ;) Our oldest is five and he will start kindergarten the beginning of September. Our youngest will be one at the end of august -cue the crying- and our sour patch of a middle child is a threenager! So as you can imagine there is never a dull moment around here. Oh, we are also a military family and just moved to Okinawa Japan at the beginning of March! So that has been super fun and exciting! I don't really know the direction this blog is going to go. Everyone is always saying "find your niche" but I'm kind of a rule breaker like that so I don't know if I'll have an exact niche, but I plan to post about some DIY projects we have done and are doing in our base house to get started so stay tuned for that. If you want to see more of our day to day lives you can follow my instagram account where I post cute pictures of the kids and silly stories. I also have a youtube channel that we just started. We probably shouldn't even call it a channel because so far it only has two amateur videos on it. I'm hoping to add more though. So, if you want to hang around and see what becomes of this I would love to have you along for the ride! 

Thanks for being here 💕

DIY entryway key holder

So when we move into a house one of the first things our family needs is a place to set keys, sunglasses, and (if you're my husband) a place to hang your lanyard for work...because if said lanyard isn't hung by said keys then the husband forgets it and has to call his wife to bring it to him and that's always a fun time. You feel me? Let me back track a little. We just recently moved to Okinawa Japan which is typhoon alley. Yes, we went from tornado alley straight to typhoon alley. Most of the walls in our home on base are concrete and because of this it makes hanging some things a challenge. After racking my brain I ended up using an  Ikea spice rack  -see what I did there- and turned it upside down so that it created a shelf with the wooden bar on the bottom. Then I ordered some  S hooks  on Amazon to hang on the wooden bar so that we could hook our keys on it. Now, the tricky part was attaching the actual spice rack to the concrete wall. I decided to use small comman

Skincare Products I Have Fallen in Love With

Skin care is something that has been important to me, but has also been kicked to the back burner for awhile now because Im just so tired in the evenings. Being in the throws of motherhood with toddlers and pregnancies and up all night feedings can be exhausting and leave little desire for any self care. BUT hang in there mama because Im here to tell you that it does get better and you will slowly find your groove again and a desire for some self care.  Now that we are done having babies I have made a promise to myself to start taking better care of myself, skin included. Somehow it seems easier knowing I wont be putting my body through one of the hardest things its ever done again IE: growing another human and then supplying it with food at all hours of the day and night.  So Im going to share some of my favorite products that I have noticed the biggest difference with my skin since using. I had always wanted a  Clarisonic , but never wanted to spend the money. I finally purchased
