Mr. Rogers once said, “Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.” Often, the concept of “play” is synonymous with images of kids playing tag or sitting in a classroom...but the two don't have to be separate and distinct, especially when it comes to designing a children’s bedroom.

Read MoreLike my mother before me, I have always had an early interest in makeup. When the oldest of my five daughters, then 13, asked to start wearing makeup to school, I took a deep breath, and wondered how my little girl was now a teenager. In an effort to keep Grace looking natural and youthful, I bought her many of the Tarte products that I had used for over a decade because I knew their focus on natural beauty and healthy ingredients were values that I also shared.
Now a freshman in college, my daughter and I continue to share our love for Tarte Cosmetics and have taken advantage of their 25-35% off Friends and Family Sale. We’ve stocked up on some of our favorite Tarte products and whether you’re a youthful 18 year old or a mom to many, there is something that every woman can appreciate within this female founded brand.
A little brother is a gift to the heart….and Janie and Jack is a gift to parents who appreciate color coordinated Easter outfits for their children.
When my now teenagers were toddlers, I was drawn into the original Janie and Jack store in San Francisco by a window display featuring a plaid newsboy cap.

Read MoreAfter seven children and five c-sections, my body is not what it used to be but I have learned to work graciously with what I now have.

I’ve learned to accept my body as it is presently and then honor it with healthy habits and good choices
Read MoreIn the early years of my husband’s Major League Baseball career, he had a contract with Reebok for his spikes. For years, I wore Reebok and became quite the expert on their fit and style. Fast forward to my days as a mother of seven and self described queen of “lounge glam” ……and I’m still just as happy with my Reebok apparel, now available at DSW.
Read MoreFor as long as I can remember shopping, I have always purchased Christmas toys at Walmart. In high school, I remember shopping with friends to pick out toys for children impacted by a hurricane. As a first time parent, it was always the first placed I shopped for holiday goodies. Now as a seasoned mother of seven and an advocate for children in need, Walmart continues to be my go-to place for my own children and for those within my community who benefit from a few holiday blessings.
