The Whole Truth About The Pictures #SocialMedia #LivingLife

February 15, 2017 By Milena Barrett

social media

Yesterday was Valentines Day and I went wild with it. Okay, maybe not wild, but I decided to have some fun.

10 Things I Learned From Hosting Easter

April 10, 2015 By Milena Barrett

Easter

Every year we take turns in my family hosting the holidays. I haven't had one in a while. I think the last time I hosted my entire family, except Noah, came down with the flu. It was awful.

However, if you are one of the few close friends I have you'd know that there is no challenge that I won't take. This was one of them.

The Un-Blackest Friday Ever

November 21, 2012 By Milena Barrett

    My children and I always refer to days with the word "ever". "It's the best day ever mom." "This is the worst day ever." Anyway, I have been building some resentment these last few years over the glorification of Black Friday. Not to age myself, but I remember not being able to buy anything on Thanksgiving. If the market was open it was only for a few … [Read more...]
