I’m a big fan of scents. I love candles and plug-ins and fresh flowers and open windows and pretty sprays. I use perfumes and light body spays for myself, and tons of great products inside my house. Which led me recently to wanting to find a good option for the times I’m not in my house – scented products for my car.

I didn’t want anything that smelled too artificial. Or overpowering. But something that could kind of cover up that, “My toddler left a chicken nugget under the seat and wiped a booger or two on the wall” type of smell that you get when you have a 3 year old, you know? [Read more…]

2014 marks the 45^th anniversary of Eric Carle’s pre-school classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The anniversary will be officially celebrated on the annual “Very Hungry Caterpillar Day” which takes place every year on the first day of spring (March 20^th).

Seriously – is there anyone who doesn’t love the The Very Hungry Caterpillar? It’s such a simple book – but the simplicity is what makes it so wonderful. The bold bright colors pop on a clean white background. The words are uncomplicated enough that even the littlest ears can understand the story – but fun enough to entertain bigger kids too. It was one of my very favorites as a little girl – and it’s been wonderful sharing it with my own daughter too. And it’s definitely not just me who’s a fan….

Since its publication in 1969, 36 million copies of the book have sold worldwide and it has been published in 55 languages. That year the book was also named one of the best children’s books of the year by The New York Times, and it has since become a beloved, must-own classic. Today, every 30 seconds, somewhere in the world, a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is sold.

I’ve always loved photography. I have a new camera that I love – it’s kind of, like, in between a point and shoot and a DSLR. It’s called the Olympus PEN, and one of the things I love is that it has a Olympus PEN For Dummies book too, to help me learn all of the settings and cool options that it has. I’ve also signed up for a few of the Craftsy Free Classes that teach photography skills – and they have awesome paid courses too, for things like product, food, or portrait photography. But one thing that I am STILL in need of is a gorgeous camera bag to haul my gear. One of my faves brands for stylin’ camera bags is Epiphanie Bags – and one of you ladies has a chance to WIN one. {Color me jealous…. :)}
