A new baby, of sorts . . .
Can you believe it's August? It feels like this summer has flown by. This is the time of year I always start having a little mom-guilt for not having spent more time at the beach with the kids instead of working while I shoo them outside. But alas, that is the life of a working mom in summer months. This summer has been occupied with another new venture, too . . . my newest "baby."

My laundry room before-and-after
This post is sponsored by Microban. Living with four kids, laundry is a constant challenge. The laundry issues in my house can be divided into two main dilemmas: dealing with the odors of four active kids, and dealing with how to contain and store laundry in a very small house.

Cute ruffle neckline dress - I tried this one on when I was looking for a cocktail dress a few months ago and loved it but felt the price was too high and returned it. Just ordered it for almost half off. This is a great crepe fabric and very flattering, and can be dressed up or down depending on your shoes and accessories.
