Cash, Clothing and the Magic and Fantasy of Childhood is Only a Leap Away!

September 25, 2014 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

I cannot believe it's already the official start to Fall, I wish Summer would linger just a bit longer, although  there's something to be said for that "just right" temperature, warm enough for short sleeves but not stifling hot that you need to wipe your daughter's sweaty brow and hear her sweet voice complaining, about every two seconds, "I'm so hot"--anyhow, (sorry for those tangents I go off … [Read more...]

September 18, 2014 by Melissa Chapman 25 Comments

Congrats to our winner Austin! My 13 year old daughter and I fight over one line of beauty products-- BURT's BEES. I kid you not. Why you ask?

The Sunday Swoon: Puffs SoftPack is Helping me Keep the Peace in our Family

September 13, 2014 by Melissa Chapman 3 Comments

There are two things I can always count on in my family; the fact that my son is always LOOKING for/in need of a tissue and my daughter being extra hyper vigilant about keeping our home clutter free.

And while I don't mind … [Read more...]
