Real life. Real Women. Real talk
This is not a post that I had planned on writing. But when inspiration strikes, you have to follow where it takes you. My goal for today’s post is to share a personal triumph and hope that someone out there will feel motivated to go out and learn something new. It’s time to do the things that you think you cannot do.READ MORE »
Before we were Crown & Chaos, we thought about being Vodka & Sweatpants for a hot second. It’s been a while, but we used to solely drink Vodka. It’s still a favorite, so we were super excited to try new Ving Vodka. It’s an organic vodka handmade in California that’s made in small batches. It’s also a gluten-histamine-sulfite-sugar-free vodka that by some ancient magic does not leave you with a headache in the morning.
It’s spring break and I am so ready for a vacation. Sadly, I don’t have a lot of time off this year, but I’m still planning to make the most of this year’s break. William is off of school and ready to chill. We’re taking a Texas-sized road trip this year to Lost Pines outside of Austin. Here are my must-have items for the trip.READ MORE »
Since spring is upon us and rain is still in the forecast, we will continue our Science Club Series on weather. Each post will provide the scientific background, supply list and directions. This experiment is something the kids can keep around to play afterwards. So let’s get started – time to create a tornado in a bottle.
Growing up I was always told there was nothing I could not do. It was ground in to me at a young age that, as a girl, I was just as good (if not better) than a boy. I took dance and played sports. I love shoes and a good power tool. It was the kind of upbringing I’d want for every single girl out there in the world. But it wasn’t long before my reality was shattered, and I saw how the rest of the world really worked. At a young age I learned that boys were treated different, better. They could get away with a lot more stuff than girls. READ MORE »
It’s that time of year again – Teacher Appreciation Week is the time to show your kid’s teachers how wonderful they are. Personally, we love crafting so it’s the perfect opportunity to give them something handmade with love. Teachers always appreciate gifts made or bought by the kids themselves because it makes it more personal. Here are a few ideas you can try at home.
Still getting mostly rainy days? I know we are, so here’s another edition of our Science Club Series on weather. Each post will provide the scientific background, supply list and directions. So let’s get started – time to create thunder and lightning.
I always have really dry skin, especially in the cold months. I’m constantly using lotion only to feel dry skin again a few minutes later. There has to be a better way. I need something to help my skin stay moisturized, so I started using Chloemason Soap Company handmade products. One of the things I really like about Chloemason is that they list all of the ingredients of their products right on the label. If you have any questions or concerns, they also have great customer service. Everything they make is 100% natural, and all of their oil products are ‘self preserved’. There are no chemical ingredients that you can’t even pronounce. The soaps aren’t just beautiful sitting on your counter, but feel wonderful on your skin too. They have great products for babies, kids, adults and even pets.
So you’ve made it through the first round of cuts and now it’s time for your in-person interview. This is your first shot at making a good impression and standing out against all of the other resumes. There’s probably going to be some qualified competition out there, so now’s the time to plan out what sets you apart.READ MORE »
Running out of rainy-day activities for your kids? It’s hard coming up with new and creative ways to keep the kiddos entertained – and basically impossible to make them educational experiences at the same time. Luckily for us busy moms, we live in the age of instant information. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start a Science Club Series on the blog and share our scientific adventures with you at home! Each post will provide the scientific background, supply list and directions. So let’s get started – up first, we’ll be creating a rain storm in a cup.
