What’s your favorite thing about spring? Mine is probably that it’s not winter anymore! 😂
I also love that springtime brings me loads of fresh lemons from my lemon tree. This means that I end up making lots of lemon inspired meals and treats. Today I wanted to share one of my favorite lemon recipes, lemon bars. You can find the full recipe up on Staying Blonde. Link in bio. #lemonbars #happyspring #springrecipes #lemonrecipes

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s day! 🍀
It feels so good to have power again! This experience has made me realize that I would not make it long in a zombie apocalypse! 😂 I mean, I can barely made it 36 hours without electricity!
We actually got it back on earlier than expected. So today, I’m cozy in the house, wearing green, and getting ready to start my corned beef dinner. Do you make corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day? I make it every year. It’s one of my favorites.
I’ve also linked my new green dress over on my liketoknow page. It’s perfect for springtime and is currently on sale. Link is in my bio. https://liketk.it/44Als #happystpatricksday #green #greendress #cornedbeef

A front porch selfie is about as good as it gets for me this week.
We had some powerful storms go through here yesterday, which knocked out power and cell service. Unfortunately, our electric company doesn’t expect to get our power back on until Friday evening! 😩
So this is all I’ve got. Take it or leave it. 😂. If you are also in the Bay Area, did you lose power or get any damage? It was quite a storm! #selfie #momlife #bayareamom #bayareastorms

Have you been to Yellowstone? It’s definitely a bucket-list worthy destination. I’m in the middle of planning our summer travels, and it’s got me thinking about some of our most memorable trips, and Yellowstone is definitely one of our most memorable! If I had to choose only one national park to visit for the rest of my life, Yellowstone would be it! There is a new post up on Staying Blonde all about Yellowstone and our favorite must-see attractions and places to stay in and near Park.

Hi all. It’s just me soaking up what ever sun is popping through the clouds today. I’m hoping it gives me a boost of vitamin D to help me get me through the day.
I need to be honest. I haven’t been as active as I normally am on here. It’s been a hard school year that has consumed almost all of my time and energy. What’s even harder is that I can’t see it getting better anytime soon.
I wish I could go more into detail about all that is happening, but I really can’t quite yet. When I can, I promise I will. It will feel so good to finally vent and maybe help someone else possibly going through the same stuff.
Well, that’s all I have. Actually, I do have to say one last thing… damn it is nice going old school, and just posting a photo with a caption! I don’t know about you, but reels are starting to wear me down. Have a great day!! Xoxo. #momlifebelike #iepmom #momlifebestlife #dyslexiaawareness

#AD A house full of kids and pets requires tons of constant cleaning. Seriously, tons! Since I do have kids and pets (that aren`t supposed to be on the counter), I also require cleaning products that are safe to use around them. That`s why I use Clorox Free & Clear products for just about everything in my home. The entire Clorox Free & Clear line is designed to be safe around kids, pets and food, which is perfect. Clorox Free & Clear comes in Compostable* Wipes, Disinfecting Mist and a Multi-Surface Cleaner. I use the Multi-Surface Cleaner primarily in my kitchen and bathrooms, while the Compostable* Wipes and Disinfecting Mist are perfect for everything from cleaning out pet-food bowls to wiping and disinfecting toys. I`ve used Clorox products for as long as I can remember, and I`m so exited for this entire line of Free & Clear products. You can find all of these Clorox Free & Clear products right now at Target, and on my Liketoknow page. Link in bio. Use as directed.

What’s the weather like by you? I can honestly say that our current cold and rain/snow snap is not what I was expecting. I was really hoping for more spring-like weather by now.
We flew back from Chicago on Sunday and it was actually warmer there than it is here in California! Bring on spring already!! #springfever #yosemitenationalpark #snowday

I’ve been pretty quiet this past week because we we’ve been back in Indiana on a whirlwind trip celebrating my mama’s big 70th birthday, AND my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary!
We’ve had such a wonderful time visiting and catching up with family and friends.
Thank you @fuzzylinebrewingco for hosting our crazy group!
Happy Sunday everyone! Who else is NOT ready for Monday tomorrow!! 😩

We had so much fun making these paw print flowers this weekend. It can be a little messy, so make sure you have a hose nearby! You can read more about this project over on StayingBlonde.com right now. Link in bio. #doglife #dogmom #artsandcrafts #pawprintart #pawprintflowers #goldenretrieverlife

Who else has spring fever? Now that valentines is over, I am ready to jump straight to spring! Right now I am a sucker for all things spring, especially dresses! I think all of these may be keepers! And yes, the blue and the black dresses are the same dress. It just fit so well that I got it in black as well. Have you ever bought two of the same thing in different colors? I have all these dresses linked in my bio. #springdress #springdresses #springfever #targettryon #targetfinds #targetstyle #whatiwhere

Be Mine ❤️ Hot Stuff ❤️ Let’s be friends ❤️ xoxo ❤️ True Love ❤️ Kiss me ❤️ Love you
Who else is a fan of the Conversation Hearts candies? I’ve always loved them. I remember when I was a kid in school, and wishing the cute boy in class would pass me one with a “love you” or “ Kiss me” on it. It never happened though, mine would always end up saying something like “cool chick” or “let’s be friends” 😂
Isn’t it funny that when it comes to love we tend to over analyze everything and hang on to every word. Even if those words come from a random piece of heart candy. ❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day. #happyvalentinesday #candyhearts #whatiweartoday

Do you have a Valentine’s Day tradition? Every year we stay home and make a yummy dinner followed by our annual chocolate fondue dessert.
Chocolate fondue is so simple and easy to make. I let the kids pick out their own dippers which makes for a highly satisfying dessert for everyone. I have the full recipe featured on SB right now. Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ #chocolatefondue #easydessert #valentinesideas
