First Wednesday of the month... you know what that means! Our girl Meghan from Cupcakes with Sprinkles is here to throw down another AMAZING and holiday-appropriate dessert for us all to drool over (and drop everything to make because the craving is overwhelming). Without further ado... take it away Meghan! Do you love pumpkin pie? I love pumpkin pie and I've found a better way to have it. You ... [ Read More ]

I know it’s cray-cray that I’m blogging in the evening, but I have good reason… we’ve been driving for the last 8 hours. We took an impromptu trip to southern Missouri to visit Nick’s ma and his sister & fam. It was my very first time being down in his old stomping grounds, and I got to see the scene of a lot of old ornery (and often illegal) memories. And when I say ‘impromptu trip’ this is ...

Have you guys seen these sweet little ‘quiet books’? My mom has started making them! Here’s her first one… Can you believe the detail? I want to show you some of the pages… you’re gonna die from the cuteness. Every page has an activity! This first one, the left side teaches you to lace your shoe and tie it. The second page felt flowers that button on and off. Sooooo sweet! On these next ... [ Read More ]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PULL-UPS® Night*Time. All opinions are 100% mine.The time is quickly approaching. That time that all parents dread... POTTY TRAINING. I've been reading up on different techniques, approaches and theories that others swear by. I'm hoping to have these little crazies potty trained earlier than later if I can help it. But I know that some ... [ Read More ]

Wouldn't you know it? It's Monday AGAIN! Doesn't it seem like the ratio of Mondays to 'other days' is at least 1-2? A tragedy for sure. Nick's been working on the 'wall' lately (it's actually NOT a wall anymore, but I'm not sure what to call it... the 'arches'? the 'pillar'? the 'construction zone centrally located in my home'?) so anyway, I'm finding myself with a lot of time that I need to find ...

We’re excited to announce a new cast member… this is Gladys. We found homes for all but one of Blanche and Lucille’s kittens. We decided to keep this girl around! I have a special place in my heart for her creamy tan/white coat, because my late kitty Gretchen had that same coloring… and I think it’s very unique and beautiful. Gladys is very playful and fun, but she’s terribly shy and, well… ... [ Read More ]

 Hey everyone! My name is Meghan and I am so excited to be here at Reality Daydream sharing a DELICIOUS recipe for a classic fall staple... Apple Crisp! Cupcakes with Sprinkles is mainly desserts, but every once in a while I find a delicious side or main dish I have to share! I have been blogging for almost 2 years and love every minute of it! I have been married for 6 years and I have 3 cute ... [ Read More ]

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to plan a baby shower and remodel my living room on the same weekend. It wouldn’t have happened this way if things had gone as planned. But we love entertaining, and I wasn’t about to let an inch of dust and power tools all over my living room prevent my from hosting a parTAY! I mentioned on yesterday’s post about removing the living room wall ... [ Read More ]

Hey guys… Last weekend, Nick’s family came to ‘help remove our living room wall’. As you know, it turned out we had a lot of free-time. This worked out well for Diane and I, because we just took off with the girls to go garage-saling on Saturday morning! It was a very successful garage sale romp. I found tons of good stuff, and just yesterday got a chance to go through all my treasures. I found ... [ Read More ]
