Hi Guys!

Posted on June 27, 2016 | Leave a comment

I just wanted to touch base with you all. The past couple of months have been really busy for me. A lot of my time was spent with my youngest as her final year of high school came to a close. Between college visits and her high school musical, life got pretty hectic. In the meantime I have some catching up to do.

Speaking of school, Naomi was awarded the Green Garner Scholarship. #proudmommy

Catching up starts now with the April’s Birchbox and ipsy Bag I never posted.

Super Bowl 50 Inspired Look: Denver Broncos

Posted on February 7, 2016 | Leave a comment

Today February 7, 2016 is Super Bowl Sunday. I must say this has been a very interesting NFL season. The Denver Broncos suffered an embarrassing defeat in Super Bowl XLVIII. This should be an interesting game against the Carolina Panthers. The Denver Broncos team colors are navy blue and orange.
