iPhone 5 Wallpapers

Good Morning loves! Is anyone else a junkie for cute iPhone wallpapers like myself? I switch my wallpapers almost every other day depending on my mood and how bored I am with my phone. After getting my little ones off to school this morning, I decided to sit down with Photoshop and make a few of my own wallpapers (the backgrounds are not mine and I don't claim ownership of them) that would motivate and inspire me and send out some positive vibes whenever I used my phone. Here are a few of them, and I'm sure I'll be making more, so stay tuned for those as well. Though the next time I'll make them completely from scratch, with my own backgrounds.

Good Eats: Linguine with Tomato Cream sauce, Spinach & Shrimp!

I posted a picture of this dish on my Facebook and Instagram pages a couple of days ago and got a lot of requests for the recipe. So instead of sending it to each and every person individually, I decided to post it here so that anyone could get it. Now, when I cook I don't use and precise measurements, I never measure anything, unless I'm baking, so the measurements listed here are estimates of what I used, not the actual measurement. So, here you guys go, enjoy! Oh, and if you make this, send me a picture so that I can see how yours turned out, or if you have a question, shoot me an email.

Finding Purpose

Hello loves! I pray everyone has started their Monday with love and expectancy in their hearts, and the motivation to make this a great week!

I awoke this morning like many others, wondering what my purpose is for the day and even my life in general. Then it dawned on me to do something that I've been thinking about for a while now. MAKE A VISION BOARD.

Good Eats: Caramel Chex

I made this yummy concoction for my “kids” the other day, and I fell in love with it myself. It’s very rich and sweet, just like kids like it!

In a pot, combine:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup butter

1.5 cups marshmallows

Heat and stir on medium, until everything is combined and almost bubbling. I also sprinkled a smidgen of salt in as well, but that's for my taste, you don't have to add it. Then throw in a handful of chocolate chips and stir until it is combined as well. Then put about 2 cups of Chex cereal into a bowl. 

Once the contents of the pot come to slight boil, pour it on top of the cereal and stir, stir, stir until all of the cereal is well coated. After that, pour the contents of the bowl onto a non-greased baking sheet. Spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray to spread it out onto the sheet. Then sprinkle marshmallows and chocolate chips on top (this is totally optional) and let it cool.

We ate some of ours while it was still warm, I guess we’re greedy like that. But it tastes just as good when it’s cool. That’s it, super easy and yummy. Perfect for a family movie or game night, or just to have as a snack.

Enjoy! :)

DIY Files: A little Home Decor

I’m a HUGE D.I.Y fan, so Pinterest takes up a lot of my time. Here are a couple simple things to do, for a little bit of nothing. All supplies can be purchased at the dollar store.

This is simply a votive candle with lace wrapped around it. It can be done with a hot glue gun, super glue or even double sided tape.

This one I definitely love, being that I am a coffee fanatic! I have plain jane coffee mugs that could use some sprucing up with this idea.

Simply make whatever design you choose with a gold Sharpie, bake the cup in the oven for thirty minutes at 350 degrees and then let it cool in the oven.

Now you have a super easy, and super cute coffee mug!
