Woohoo! I’ve been hinting about a project over the last couple of weeks and I’m so excited to finally share it today. I’ve been giving my fireplace a makeover! After a lot of ponder...
One of my very most favorite things to do ever is travel. If time and money weren’t an obstacle, I would travel to every continent on the planet. My hubby and I decided a long time ago to...
The tricky part of blogging is that when I’m busy working on projects, I don’t have time to blog. Or when I’m busy blogging, I don’t have time to actually do projects. So you can probably...
Two years ago I bought two small strawberry plants and planted them in a container. I got a whopping harvest of about 3 or 5 strawberries that year. Last year, I replanted those plants in...
Remember last year when I had a garage sale and said it would be years before I had another one because theyre so much work? Well I guess I have a bad memory because my family got together to host an...
We had a bunch of bananas that were starting to brown (what an exciting start to this blog post, haha), so I wanted to make a snack with them before they went bad. There are a bunch of di...
Mother’s Day is less than a week away and although I’d like to do something nice to show my appreciation to my Mom, she’s one of those hard to shop for people who appreciates the thought, but is hard...
It feels like we were just celebrating the New Year, but it’s May already! When did that happen? And why am I always so surprised at the start of each month? Don’t I have a calendar...
I woke up on Wednesday morning to the sound of tiny feet pitter-pattering near my bed. It sound like it was coming from inside of our heating vent. So of course, I immediately pictured th...
I had another great weekend yard sale shopping...for the most part. Two nice neighborhoods near me hold a community yard sale each year and they happened to fall on the same day this year...
After an unfortunate curtain hanging incident that left my kitchen wall with an inordinate amount of holes (dont ask!), I had quite a lot of spackling to do! Thats why I was so happy when DAP reached...
I am so excited that it is finally garage sale season again! I love spending Saturday mornings outdoors searching for possible treasures. I’ve been to a couple of garage sales so far this...
April is in full swing already, so it’s high time to take a look back at some of my favorite things from last month. First, here’s a taste of my DIY fun from March: I shared an easy way to grow...
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Since I’ve already shared my Easter decorations and Easter dessert ideas, I thought I’d update y’all on what I ended up making. From my Easter dess...
I don’t go too crazy seasonally decorating for holidays other than Christmas, but I did put out a couple of little Easter decorations this year. My hubby has a few wind-up Easter toys from his childh...
If this blog was a soap opera, this post would be the shocking twist where you find out that I had an evil twin or that John Black was really Roman Brady with amnesia. I’m being dramatic, but I...
I don’t know how Easter manages to sneak up on me every year, but somehow it does. Easter is in just a few days so I’ve been thinking of some Easter desserts I could make, as I do every year.&n...
I’ve got some bad news. I did NOT win the $640 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot on Friday. Total bummer. Even though I didn’t win, I had some fun waiting for my winning numbers...
Since planting trees in our backyard last May, I’ve been looking forward to when they’d flower this spring. Our trees, a semi-dwarf peach tree and flowering Cleveland pear tree, have grown a lo...
I may have gone a little pillow crazy again. In addition to fabric pillows I showed you guys recently, I’ve made a few unusual pillows in the past: a tea towel pillow, argyle sweater pillow, an...
I’ve been feeling a little sick…I think I come down with a case of spring fever! The unusually warm weather we’ve been having (it’s supposed to get as high as 80 degrees today or tomorrow- in M...
Usually about this time of year I start complaining about how winter won’t end. But this year, I’m elated that it feels like spring already! We had gorgeous 70 degree weather all weekend ...
I am excited to share a new paint color selection tool today! Believe it or not, there is actually a tool out there that makes choosing paint colors fun and easy! Don’t believe me? ...
It’s Pinterest Challenge time! The Pinterest Challenge was thought up by Katie and Sherry to inspire us to actually MAKE something that we Pin on Pinterest- you know, instead of just pinning a ...
Oh Pinterest, you are so very wise. You have taught me so much, including how to grow my own green onions. I saw this pin on Pinterest which said you could take your used green onions fro...
Earlier this week, I shared the new Kwikset SmartKey Deadbolt that I purchased. Home security is very important of course, so I was happy to install a new deadbolt with top of the line safety f...
I love getting fresh flowers, but I’m always disappointed when it’s time to throw them out. So I decided to keep my Valentine’s Day flowers a little longer than usual this year. I sadly had to ...
I recently snagged a mantle clock from my cousin who was getting rid of it. Originally from Home Goods, I liked the clock but it wasn’t really my style. I thought it would look nice on to...
We work hard to build beautiful homes that we love, but what’s more important than keeping our homes and family safe? So I jumped at the chance to upgrade my home’s security with Kwikset SmartK...
I heard someone say “Happy New Year” the other day. I too am surprised at how quickly this year has been moving, but I think we can all agree we are well past the Happy New Year part of the yea...
