Oh, this mama could use a spa day! One blissful day filled with hot stone massages, a pedicure with a side of champagne, and a facial that leaves my face radiant, smooth as a baby’s bottom, and brighter than it was before I had children…..Okay. Back to reality. That’s not happening any time soon. If you’re anything like me (and …
One of my favorite things about summer is going swimming at the lake down the road every time I get a chance. Living in North Dakota, swimming outside is not an option for the vast majority of the year. I have to seize the opportunity to dip into the water when I can – my kids definitely don’t mind! I’m …
In my mind, there is no more idyllic kitchen task than baking a pie. It brings to mind the holidays, or a family gathering, a warm house, and a sweet smelling kitchen.

I have struggled with acne all of my life. As a teenager I would stare disappointingly at my blotchy, uneven face in the mirror squeezing the angry red pustules…and pray for the day I would reach adulthood and have smooth, clear skin. Sadly, although I turned thirty a few days ago the acne problem has not gone away. I have frequented …
I used to get ear infections pretty often as a kid. So much so that the doctor recommended putting tubes in my ears. Thank goodness my parents didn’t let him because as coincidence would have it, I stopped getting ear infections shortly afterwards.

Every day I put my best face forward. And I can finally say I have reached a confidence level with my skin so that I really believe that it is my best face. It hasn’t always been like this though.
