Around this time last year my sister was expecting her third child, Matthew, who was born August 3rd. My social media feed has quickly become a live photo album of all my friends and families kids. I do enjoy it and one post I realized I never shared was a DIY at home PHOTO-SHOOT session. It's budget friendly and works with your schedule. Here's the deal, obviously the first few weeks are probably best captured by a professional who has the special cushions to prop your child

Another year, another "FriendsGiving", If you are just joining us for the first time during the holidays, know that this is our second go around with "FriendsGiving", our full process and reason behind it is available on our FRIENDSGIVING '16 POST [CLICK HERE]. After getting a little more confident with cooking side dishes and the turkey, I have to say my boyfriend and I executed a much better planning system this year. Our schedules are crazy, so prepping the backyard, fina

Happy First Day of School EVERYONE! Whether you are the student or the proud parents, we wish you a wonderful year ahead. I'm sure you are all as nervous and excited as the rest, just don't forget your teachers who love what they do and wish to inspire you. Whether the first day or the first week of school, surprise them with something homemade. Our personal favorite is the "Colorful Pencil Holder". They start off as a bouquet, but the teacher has the option of turning it int

*Photo below take last night (8/1/17) 40 weeks and one day. Here I am at 40 weeks and 2 days, waiting for my third baby and I can't believe I had my final workout last night!!! I can honestly say that I've never felt better or healthier than I do today. Believe it or not, I actually had a bit of a scare soon after I found out I was pregnant and was debating whether or not I would work out during this pregnancy. I got the green light from my doctor at about 15-16 weeks and dec

Besides my own blog posts, I love sharing among my friends other lifestyle topics from social vlogs to other blogger articles. I also use Facebook to keep up with local consignment/garage sales and local ev

Happy SUMMER Y'All, I might be from Miami, but ask any of my friends and you will catch me saying "y'all". I may have mentioned this before, but my mother has a southern charm upbringing that has definitely echoed in our household and on the table, lol. You know that my family is a sweets family (we need help) and I finally took the time to learn how to make some southern lemon bars this passed Easter. I can't believe it took me that long to try and how easy it was! So on a h

Last August was the first time I visited 'SMORGASBURG', in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I happen to catch it again this passed April and it has even more items to eat and shop! What is SMORGASBURG? RAIN OR SHINE, every Saturday in Williamsburg,BK and Sunday in Prospect Park,BK from APRIL-OCTOBER an outdoor flea market of local food vendors and artisans gather for a wonderful smorgasbord of yummy eats. A foodie's dream. Lucky for me my friend Daniela (@brokefoodies) lives in Willi

We are mid month of January and this year I hope to be more consecutive with top 5's [ way more than last year]! Though I will say, to see products and places on the regular, do visit our instagram story [@blonde2brunette] for "Top of the moments"... 1| 2017 Planners| I'm obsessed with jotting things down, even in my phone, but I love being able to see it, touch, read it. Not just on my screen. Plus ask any Virgo and they love " Office Supplies". The giant floral with gold sp

Happy Hauntings Everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the DIY Unicorn, and possibly got your gears rolling! Below are two SPOOKED OUT glam looks that are easy to do, change up, pair up, etc. but can be daunting at first glance. It's easy to make both of these looks your own. You can change the color palette's to bright or cool tones. Even with just the change of wig color or cut, you can get a totally different effect! Not sure where to begin with color palettes?
