How I Brightened My Teeth at Home with Smile Brilliant
I get a lot of compliments on my smile, and it means a lot to me. For most of my childhood, I had ugly teeth, and I developed the habit of hiding my smile behind my hands. As my permanent teeth came in, I made sure to take care of them. I am still sensitive about the appearance of my teeth, but my recent experience with Smile Brilliant just gives me even more reason to smile big. As a child, I was a regular at the dentist's office. I had soft enamel (and likely a sweet tooth!) so nearly … [Read more...]

How to Make the World’s Most Obnoxious Texas Mum for a Friend
I'm not from Texas, but I did go to high school here. I just kind of assumed that every high school had the tradition of homecoming mums. Apparently I was wrong. It turns out that homecoming mums are a uniquely Texas tradition, and that these mums have become 500% bigger since I was in high school. So when it was time to say goodbye to two members of my local blogger's group, OF COURSE I had to send them off with a loud, obnoxious Texas mum. Keep reading to learn how you can make one, … [Read more...]
DIY Night Light Round Up
When I sleep, the room needs to be completely dark for me to be comfortable. Any light in the room and I just can't fall asleep! My husband can nod off with the TV or radio on, but not me. Pitch black room, please! My kids are a completely different story. They HAVE to have a light on in their rooms at bedtime. All four of them insist on some sort of night light or they just cannot sleep! One of my sons needs a very bright light, the other two prefer a soft light, and my daughter likes her … [Read more...]
