Is it just me or is the year flying by? It’s already the second week of March, spring is a couple of weeks away and Easter soon thereafter. As time speeds along, I try not to get caught up in what I did wrong yesterday, which I’m sure was a lot. I remember this quote. 


Moms: As Elite as the CIA…Well Almost 

Welcome the lovely ladies of Turn It Up Tuesday! (from the top – left to right)

And welcome our awesome guest hosts for March! 
Here are the Featured posts from last week! Cindy chose Modern Kitchen Makeover on a Budget from No Small Life. “I am currently addicted to 3 home reno shows on HGTV. Even though we gave our kitchen a new coat of paint a few years ago and like my cabinets I am dreaming of new counter tops (my 30 year old formica ones are so so bad) and a backsplash. The 23year old vinyl flooring needs to be retired too. I love the way this post had great kitchen reno pics and photos of her progress. It allowed me to dream a bit.” Cindy chose 8 Free Apps I Can’t Live Without from 702 Park Project. “I am always looking for new apps for my iPhone.
