I have super, super, super exciting news today!

I am now featured on Kari’s blog at Alas 3 Lads.

If you are not familiar with Kari’s blog you will soon be hooked.

She is a Kentuckian and everyone loves those colossal friendly people from KY.

I love her blog.

I enjoy stopping in on her blog on Tuesday’s

and checking out “Movie Trailer Tuesday”

which includes great movie trailer to watch each week.

We are all super busy this time of the year during the Holidays.

I enjoyed making cut out sugar cookies with my girls.

Oh, no!

After we completed our Gingerbread House there was a earth quake.

I always fit in a little me time

and my latest obsession is homemade body scrubs.

My skin feels so super soft after I treat my entire body

with a homemade scrub in the shower.

Here is a recipe that I enjoy.
