This is my sister Sydney. Sydney is 11 years old. She has a condition known as Treacher Collins Syndrome. Treacher Collins is a condition that affects the development of facial tissues and bones. Sydney was born with an underdeveloped mandible (jaw) and nonexistent zygomatic arches (those are your cheek bones … I’m overcompensating here and […]
XY Find It
You know that scene on Along Came Polly where Jennifer Aniston is on the phone with Ben Stiller and she can’t find her keys? And then she finds them in the refrigerator? This scene is my life in a nutshell. Ever heard of “pregnancy brain”? Well, that term is misleading. It suggests that the condition […]

I’m excited to say that this post is coming to you from Utah! That’s right, I survived a move without my husband and a cross-country road trip with my Dad thanks to my Dad. I’m joking of course about the “with my Dad” part. I actually survived the road trip because of him. 30 hours […]
Olive The Things
Next up on my Small Shop Series is the cutest shop for your littles! Olive The Things is one of the cutest shops I have ever seen! In fact, I really wish they made clothes in my size! I would even embrace the snaps in the crotch for these adorable rompers. Also, I think I need […]
Rodan and Fields Review
Raise your hand if you have perfect skin. … If you have your hand raised go ahead and lightly slap yourself on the cheek… Ok. I feel better. I still love you if you have perfect skin – but it’s more of a love/hate relationship. I hate you a little bit because I do NOT have […]
Skirts With Shirts
As a shopping addict, there is something I’ve noticed about where I spend my money. After crunching the numbers and charting graphs and analytical pie charts, I found that the largest portion of my income was spent fueling my soda addiction .. i.e. Sonic, gas stations. But that’s a topic for another time .. or another blog […]
The Phoenix Boutique
Rumor has it that fall is around the corner. You wouldn’t know it in my neighborhood – where you literally have beads of sweat dripping down your face walking from your car into the grocery store .. that’s how I get my CARdio if you catch my drift. If I’m sweating, I just call that […]
Free Back to School Printables
Hey y’all! Tis the season for all things back to school! I used to love the back to school season! School clothes shopping, and school supplies shopping, and … backpack shopping … really any kind of shopping. But especially the clothes … definitely my favorite. Remember back in the Hollister and Abercrombie days? Like I […]
Skip Hop Diaper Bag
When I was a little girl – I desperately wanted to have a collection. My sister collected Winnie the Pooh teddy bears (sorry Brittney, I just couldn’t pass up sharing this detail in this post). Back in the 90’s – collections were the shiz. If you didn’t have a collection of something, your social approval […]
The Perfect Tee
This may come as a shock to you, but I am not the bustiest gal on the block. This is probably the reason I breastfed each of my girls for so long. I wish I could say it’s because of all the antibodies and vitamins and nutrition and gold found in breastmilk. But I guess I’m […]
