Since baby Oliver was born in March, I have not been wearing make-up or doing my hair very often.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Trulia for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. One of the things I love most about having kids is listening to them talk.

Today I’m sharing a fun and simple ombre DIY bracelet that can be made completely with scraps and fabric Mod Podge.

Last week I announced that I was leaving Monday Funday. However, I don’t think most people read the little intros at the beginnings of link parties, so I wanted to make sure you all knew that the party was still going on.
