My Pale Girl Tan – Tanwise Sunless Lotion

  By Summer Stuff I ❤
Tanwise Self Tanner

I’m pale. My sister is tan, my brother is tan, but I drew the short stick when it came to skin color and I got the pale, easy burn, how about a million freckles instead of a tan, skin. It took me quite a long time to realize that I… Continue reading

Mary Kay CC Cream

  By Summer Stuff I ❤
Mary Kay CC Cream

I have never been a foundation girl, for a variety of reasons. Laziness, paleness, afraid that I wouldn’t blend it correctly and get that weird “lineness”, to name a few. But as I get older (boo, hiss, I know it’s sad) I’ve started to see the signs of the bad… Continue reading

My Summer Wreath

  By Summer DIY/Crafts, Home Sweet Home
My Summer Wreath

Last Summer I didn’t get around to making a fancy wreath.  We were gone for almost a month, traveling west, camping and visiting family. Not a lot of crafting gets done on the road. It’s hard for me to be creative when I’m trying to keep people from pulling each… Continue reading

Ok, we had our big holiday, now it’s Dad’s turn. What to get for them this year? Dads can sometimes be a little hard to buy for, depending on their hobbies. BUT, the one thing you know they will always love is to see some pictures of their cuties, staring… Continue reading

Lately I’ve been staying up too late watching Dexter (and other Netflix series) and the bags under my eyes are more noticeable than I’d like them to be. I would say I need more sleep, but you only live once, so instead I fake it with Benefit Erase Paste Concealer (or… Continue reading

Chewy M&M Cookie Bars

  By Summer Recipes, Sweets
Thick and Chewy M&M Bars

So the kids were asking me to make cookies, but gosh darn it, sometimes I am just…..too….tired (or lazy) to get up and go to the oven multiple times to take out and put in all the batches that one recipe makes. What’s a tired mom to do? Make these… Continue reading

Making an Old Bench New

  By Summer Around the House, Home Sweet Home, Try It Tuesday
Old Bench New

Ok, this Try it Tuesday episode proves that if we can do it, you can do it. I’d made the dire mistake of letting the kids bring breakfast into our bedroom on the weekends and as a result our once nice cream colored benc at the end of our bed… Continue reading

Chocolate Eggs, Crystal Caves, and Bruises

I’ve got to say this past weekend was one of the best ones in a long time.  The family and I loaded up the bikes, hitched up the trailer, and headed down to Turner Falls, Oklahoma for a long weekend. We’d been trying to get to this place forever but… Continue reading

DIY Easy Burlap Easter Tree

It’s Try it Tuesday again and to be honest we needed something easy.  Tabitha and I were both busy trying to get our stuff together for our upcoming garage sale but were determined to still get our craft on. I had taken a snapshot of an Easter tree at Hobby… Continue reading

  • Hey there,

  • I'm Summer, just a regular mom trying to navigate a house full of ADHD, Autism, and Type 1 Diabetes. Welcome to my blog where I love to share things I've found that make my life as a mom of four a little easier. Mostly its easy recipes, fun fashion, lots of self care, murder podcasts and keeping a sense of humor…..oh, and trying to keep things simple.
