This should probably go under one of my Mommy Confessions because I am so terrible about displaying photos of my kids around my house.  It’s not that I don’t love having pictures of my girls on my walls or displayed on shelves, it’s just that I’m so bad about actually printing and then framing those [...]

One of my favorite ways to celebrate Earth Day is to be reminded of the awesomeness of our planet.  The power that can be found in a sand storm across the African desert.  The playfulness of a mother polar bear as she emerges from her den at the onset of Spring. The sense of community [...]

It’s Earth Week!  Ok, I know that technically it’s just supposed to be Earth Day (April 22) but, I figure if I can declare the week of my birthday my Birthday Week, so can the Earth!  So we’re going to celebrate Earth Week here at Stacey Says with some fun posts! I’m going to go [...]

Last week I found out that I was selected to be a brand ambassador for The View!  Wow, me, a brand ambassador.  Huh. Super! I’ve been watching The View off and on for years.  I started watching it college and then fell back in love with the show when I had my first daughter and [...]
