Who would have thought that Bottle Caps can be turned into super cute pieces of jewelry? Well, they can! Ingredients of a Woman is a shop on etsy, and among other things you can find necklaces made out of bottle caps! They really are nice. My daughter got a necklace with a hula girl on it along with a variety of beads and a butterfly charm. It even has her name on it! The pendant is on a pink ball chain. The great thing about the ball chain is that you can easily make it shorter if it's too long. My daughter adores her necklace, and was thrilled to see it personalized with her name! Keep reading...

GOALS for 2012 – Goal #2 – Make some Extra MONEY!
Being a stay-at-home mom, I'm always looking for ways to make a little extra money. These are two of the ways I earn extra money:1. Recycle. We recycle our bottles & cans. Although it doesn't bring in a lot of money, every little bit counts! We get about $15 - $20 a month through recyling.2. Host Yard Sales. I try to have a yard sale at least once a year. It's a great way to clear the house of things we don't really need or use. Unfortunately we don't live in a very busy area, so we don't get a very large group of shoppers. But, I usually do okay. At my last yard sale, I Keep reading...
My GOALS for 2012 – Goal # 1 Get ORGANIZED!
So, being that it's a new year, I've been thinking about what I want to accomplish before the year is up. One thing I really want and need to do is....1. Get ORGANIZED! Home, Bills, Life!-I've always wanted to be organized. I try and try...but I'm just NOT an organized person. I really want to make it a priority this year. I must say, I started off with a good start. My kids have a "play" room. And I fixed it up at the beginning of the month. I was afraid that there might be some mold or termite problems in the room, given how much clutter and spilling goes on in there. Getting Keep reading...

5th Birthday Weekend
Has the time flown by or what?! Five years ago...I rushed to the hospital 6 weeks before my due date...and gave birth to my beautiful baby girl! What an experience that was! I gave birth at 34 weeks to a tiny 5 lbs. 4 oz. baby girl. After less than a week in the NICU she was ready to come home. and now...that little baby is no longer a baby.....she is 5! We celebrated her birthday last weekend at the Puako Condos. We stayed two nights and enjoyed some time at the beach and the pool. She requested a brownie "cake" for her birthday night.
