How Obagi Changed My Skin #ad #vlog

May 242013

This is one of those sponsored posts I was telling you about. I didn’t get paid to write this post but I was given free products by Obagi for review. They gave me a whole bunch of their products, believing that I would love their stuff. They were right! I’ve never been one to spend “big money” on face wash and moisturizer… so basically instead of buying something that actually worked, I spent $8 and $10 on a TON of stuff did that did nothing. Nada. Zip– I take that back, all that stuff did take my makeup off but that [Read more...]

Sadie Gets Mail

Sadie Plum

May 222013

There are a lot of perks to raising kids in a small Southern town like Greenwood, MS. But if you asked my kids what the best part of living here is, they’d all list in their top three things they love— the mailman. In an age of e-mail, text messages, and instant messages, here in Greenwood, real mail gets delivered right to our front door. I was surprised when we first moved to town, at the lack of mailboxes. But the squeak of the mail slot on our front door and the familiar thunk of the mail on the old [Read more...]

WHO is this woman who is now writing about yoga and gardening??? When is she going to get BACK in the bed and watch more Netflix so I can feel better about myself? Well– just so you don’t worry about me too much– I watched an entire season of The Real World on Hulu this week. First I was stuck at home because Sadie was sick. I [Read more...]

Hey Look! I’m A Real Gardener!

Apr 262013

I am super excited to team up with the *Home Depot to write this series of posts on fixing up my yard, ‘cuz I couldn’t have done it by myself! This is a sponsored post… Normally when I say “we” worked in the yard, I mean, my husband, Zeb, worked in the yard while I sat in the shade and nodded my agreement at any questions he asked. But this year after teaming up with Home Depot to #DigIn to my Thriller, Filler, Spiller project, I haven’t been able to stop planting things. After yoga and a quick trip to the [Read more...]
