Another quick change

Happy Memorial Day Weekend all! We've been busy tackling a lot of housework and yard projects. I managed to make a quick change and painted our brass house numbers with spray paint. I changed them to a dark metallic color. The best part is that it took all of 15 mins to paint and then within an hour they were dry and back up on the house! I have little experience with spray paint so I was happy for this easy project!

I of course forgot to take a photo of the before so I had to use my neighbors as the "before"... 

An then the new numbers (15505) are with the new paint color. I love how it pops on the house and the brass is gone. And it matches all of the house hardware now!

Ivory 2 in 1 Power (Influenster sponsored post)

So I recently joined Influenster, which is a company that does market research with people who have a web and social media presence.

My first assignment was to try out the new Ivory 2 in 1 Power wash. It's a soap/body wash and shampoo/conditioner all in one. It smells terrific too!

I received it last week, and used it with my evening shower after I'd worked out and done yard work, as well as played with the kids all day. I loved how clean it made me feel, and my hair smelled so good afterwards. It wasn't an overpowering scent but just fresh and clean.

If you're interested in learning more about it, check here to watch a short video. You can also visit Ivory's Facebook page.

I received this product as a part of the Influenster program.

Guest blog

So I recently wrote a guest blog over at You Plus Two Parenting's blog. You can check it out by clicking on this link here.

My piece is about my issues with post-partum depression/anger and the importance of "me" time as a mom...something that is hard to get, but oh so important for our mental health! And for the sake of our significant others and children! A happy mama = a happy household!
