For a really long time, anytime someone would ask me what’s on my bucket list, I would just say I wanted to travel and see the world. When in reality, that stuff is on my list, but that’s not the only thing. I don’t know why I was ashamed of my list but I think […]

Only ONE more week and I will be officially on vacation for 6 whole days. I don’t normally take off that much time in a row (really it’s only 4 days and then the weekend), so this will be a real treat. I feel like the days are flying by right now and yet I […]

This is the start of a new series here at The Corner Blog @ Magic + Main where I give you some tips and tricks about baking. I don’t claim to know it all but I have been baking for many years and have learned a thing or two. (and I know a thing or […]

Five years ago, almost to the date, my life was turned upside down. It was the evening before my baby sister Jessica’s wedding and I was preparing my dress, shoes, and other wedding attire. Shawn was playing with his Legos and Michael came home from a long, exhausting work day. He came into our bedroom, […]

One of my favorite childhood memories is going to the our county fair (and the carnival) every single year. The sights, smells, and overall look of it just excited me as a kid and I still hold onto that feeling today. Back in 2015, at the end of the school year, I put on my […]

Every year I plan out a “big” garden project to tackle (and usually a bunch of little ones) but after last year’s garden enclosure project, I told Michael that I would “take it easy” on him this year. HA! Right… like he believed that. (He knows his wife way too well!) This year I decided […]

I hope everyone is having a good week and if you’re up in the north, I hope you’re surviving this heat wave. I personally don’t like the heat at all. Like anything above 70 degrees is just way too hot for me. Ugh. I honestly think I am part polar bear because I need it […]

Let me start off by saying that I have a child who does not love to lick any beaters, spoons, bowls, or the like while we are baking. Combine that with the fact he doesn’t like cake or tacos and I am pretty sure that he isn’t mine. Never mind that he has my nose […]

Even though the weekend was quite busy and filled with everything from clothes shopping, to cleaning the house, to gardening, to laundry, and a million little things in between, I managed to also do our 2nd installment of Once Upon a Disney Dinner. Our featured movie was The Little Mermaid; which happens to be my […]
