I first posted my thoughts about this topic on the Dandy Giveaway blog back in 2013. My thoughts haven't changed and I figured that it was time to share again. So here it goes... There are so many different cancer colors. Did you know that? Basically every color of the rainbow plus some. But for some reason we primarily hear about the pink color. Not always the other colors.

Thanks, Frogs: I Married My First Boyfriend
It's true. I did indeed marry my first boyfriend. Now this is not one of those stories where the girl meets boy in the 2nd grade and then meets up again years later in college to finally get married in the end. Nope. Not even close. This is a story of a girl and a boy who grew up thousands of miles away from each other and didn't in fact meet until she was 23 and he was 25. So how pray tell View Post
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 9
On this day of the skin cancer selfie it has been one week since the repair. I think for a week things are looking so much better. Don't you think? Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 9 My eye is a a little red today and I'm not really sure what that's about. Probaby just tired. Yes, it's pretty good I think. Healing nicely and definitely looking less noticeable. Yesterday the little miss had a View Post
Help Find The Author Of Tiny Things
Sometimes even tiny things can change the course of life forever. But are they truly just tiny things? There has been something missing in my family for a long time. Each year continues to pass with a part of our puzzle not complete. The hole is not fixable. At least not in this life. It's something that won't be filled for a very long time. Something that changed the path and left us with View Post
We Bought a House: Kitchen Paint Colors
When we knew we wanted to paint our new house I had a pretty good idea what kind of style I was going for. I wanted to keep in line with my Transitional Beach style (read more about how to find your own personal design style in this post) so I knew warm colors just weren't going to be in our color palette. We'd already decided on the living/dining/first-room-you-walk-into room, but I just couldn't View Post

Have you figured out your own decorating style yet?! Are you totally loving Houzz.com? It's just so fun! If you missed my last WBAH post on how to figure out your own decorating style you can find it OVER HERE!

I Love Taking Pictures
I don't know what my deal is this week but I can't seem to sleep in past 6:45 a.m. It's so frustrating. Mostly because I love sleep and dreaming. However, instead of laying in bed trying to fight it for the hour and half before my kiddos wake up I've been trying to take advantage of it. This early morning in particular I did a bit of soul searching. View Post
I’m late and a dollar short.
I'm late. I'm late. For announcing a very important date! Are you wondering why I'm late? But wait just a minute… As far as being a dollar short… I'm not like in debt or anything. I'm just always a dollar or so short when I have to turn funds in for my kid's field trip or or something. I mean seriously. Who really carries cash around anymore? Who? Not me. I'm a card carrying mama of the View Post
A dandelion is dandy but so is a St Louis tulip.
When we purchased our home back in 2009 it came with this really spacious yard. Honestly? It's the reason why we bought it. Sure the house needed work. Quite a bit of work actually. It came with an original master bathroom, partially original kitchen, loads of wood trim from the early 70's and just an overall sense of an era gone by. The master bathroom is just a shell of a bathroom really. View Post
The Only Rule for Valentine’s Day
How do you feel about Valentine's Day? Do you love it? Do you loathe it? Does it stress you out? Do you have anxiety about it? Are you excited? In the past Valentine's Day hasn't been at the top of my "Favorite Holiday" list, it hasn't been at the bottom either. I see all of the cute ideas out their for pink pancakes, milk, and strawberries for breakfast and I want to do them. I've secretly hoped View Post
