For as long as I can remember I've always had a Queen sized bed but when David and I moved into our new house we splurged on a King bed...while I love all the space in the bed I did miss having a headboard, for some reason it didn't feel like a "bedroom" to me without it. Though I've done quite a bit...
We're back!!! Welcome to the 3rd installment of #AskAwayFriday, we've returned to our original format after last week and will be asking AND receiving questions from our featured bloggers! This week I've chose the lovely, talented and super sweet Karen from Karen's Soiree...she's a party planner, wife, mom with a love for mason jars and pom poms...love it! Please check out Karen's page...
This is a topic that's not really near and dear to my heart but one that's very personal and very serious for me. During my 1st pregnancy with Hannah I had several complications including but not limited to High Blood Pressure, Placenta Previa and Pre-Eclampsia. Some if not all of these complications led to weekly doctor visits with many ultra-sounds (this was the...

I was honestly going to do this about discipline and how it works in our home but I felt that was better for a different day. It took some thinking but these are definitely just a couple of the things I said I would never do as a mom/parent that have happened... 1. I said I wouldn’t use a pacifier. After all, pacifiers...
A couple of weeks ago I was asked by Mrs_AOK A Work in Progress if I wanted to join a few other bloggers in a nail polish and card swap, I was flattered and the idea sounded so cool! I mean what gal doesn't love a new nail polish? So the budget was $10 for the polish and card. The wonderful partner I...
We are switching it up this week with our Blogger to Blogger: 10 Question Swap. This week each of my co-hosts (linked below) have selected one blogger each to feature. We each asked our chosen blogger 10 questions which they will answer on their respective blogs (again, linked below). Please take a moment to check out all my amazing co-hosts! As always I...
Recently there's been A LOT of controversy over breast-feeding vs formula feeding, I've stayed out of these arguments because honestly, no one can win, no one person is right or wrong. Like I said in my previous post My 10 Survival Tips for Expecting Moms, you MUST do what is right for your child and you and only you can make those decisions,...
These girls are my everything. They are what I live for everyday. Everyday as a SAHM isn't the easiest or the most pleasant and some days I just want to escape but whether I'm gone for 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days there is a whole in my heart only they can fill until I'm back with them. I'm proud to say...
First and foremost, any and everyone you know can give you advice, you don't have to take it and every story and experience is different for each person based on their situation so anything I have to share is definitely based purely on my own experience both as a first time mom and a 2nd time mom. Tip #1: Expect the Unexpected! I...
I LOVE Instagram...my husband doesn't understand my fascinations with the old school filters but I just love it...today's favorite moment is my girls at my mom's house today, we were having lunch at her place and randomly both girls started licking the windows on her porch doors and making faces...probably the funniest thing I've seen them do together in a couple days! I...
I'm SUPER excited about this, last week Amber over at The Bold and Fab Mom and I traded 10 questions and surprisingly everyone loved the idea, so this week we are adding 6 other bloggers into the mix! This is so great, I'm super excited to see what everyone's Questions and Answers are! To make things a little easier we paired everyone up...
I guess I'm getting in the mood for our anniversary and finally taking the honeymoon we never got...this is still one of the happiest days of my life and becoming Mrs. Chevalley is single-handily the best thing that ever happened to me! Love you babe! ...

Wow, that's quite a thought to wrap my brain around. I know I'm a good mom and I know I have an idea of who I want the girls to be as they grow up but my goals to get them there, hadn't really processed that...doesn't it just happen? Obviously not. Actually, today on our way home from an overnight trip I was...
Most of you probably don't know that David and I got married in Vegas, yes, we eloped but our wedding was just what we wanted, with people we love around us (our families were even able to watch over a live internet feed so they were there in spirit)...I was dusting in our bedroom and like always I have to move a ton...
I never expected that I'd actually be blogging this long, much less be good enough at it that a local magazine would want to feature my blog on it's online portal...I mean how cool? I'm definitely flattered! My blog with Fredericksburg Parent and Family Magazine will be some different content than what I do on here (that's what they would like anyways),...
The other night I as literally so bored that I just wanted someone to ask me questions...I could have asked my husband to do it but he was enthralled with his new video game so I started talking to Amber over at The Bold and Fab Mom and we decided to do a Blogger to Blogger question sessions...so exciting!!! We each sent each...
This is probably one of my favorite pictures of life, from my 25th birthday celebration...with my 4 favorite people at that moment...through thick and thin they've always been there when it really counts...this photo embodies our love for each other like no other I've ever seen! ...
Time Manipulation... There are many days that I wish I had a fast forward button, just to push through the laundry, cleaning the house or even a cranky baby, this is also followed by days that I could hit slow motion...moments like watching David and the girls play that are just so adorable it warms my heart. But there are days I wish...
I'm really excited about this new venture, I'm working with Growing Up Madison, Pink Candy & Stilettos and Me and My Mini Me on a fun and interactive way to join mom bloggers and their kids together! So my idea was a Mom & Tot Box Swap, this means that once every quarter (our first box will be in September) each mom and...
