Makeup Trick From a Busy Mom and a GIVEAWAY

I have a confession to make. Since I've become a mom, I really have become quite lazy in the makeup department. Even though I've never been known to wear excessive amounts of makeup, I have no problem with "painting the barn" once in a while! That said, I still think less is more. I've basically always had this mindset and I'll let you in on a little secret that fashionistas may cringe at! Since I tend to be simplistic in my efforts, I would actually use lipstick not only on my lips but as my eyeshadow as well! Is that crazy? I've actually never told anyone that I would use lipstick as eye shadow but it's the truth! I liked how my it would match my lips and I wouldn't have to mess with trying to find an eye shadow that matched my lipstick. Enter Paula Dorf Cosmetics. This line is a high quality collection of brushes and color cosmetics. And guess what? Their Ecstasy makeup is quite the multitasker that I have now replaced my normal lipstick with! This stick is created to be used on your lips, cheeks and eyes!

No more guilty feeling that I am committing some sort of fashion sin! This product is creamy and natural looking and can be worn without feeling like your standing out. This particular shade works perfect for me personally and again I love how my lipstick and eyeshadow (and now blush) can all be perfectly matching. Love it. It can fit easily in a purse if needed on the go. I hate clutter in my bathroom so having one item rather than a huge array of makeup products everywhere makes mornings run smooth.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly.

For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
