So I turned 40…I didn’t make it a huge deal like I planned but it turned out perfect. I had always thought that I wanted to go away, have a huge party, celebrate etc. But then it started coming near and I didn’t want that. I wanted my friends and family and to have a …
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my stories about how my husband and I created a phone call safe word. So many people messaged me about how it was such a great idea, and they too now have one with their significant other and even their family. It all started when …
I feel like meal time is one of the most draining times in our days as parents. Actually breakfast and lunch aren’t that bad..dinner time. Now that’s a different story. I don’t think of my kids as HUGE Picky eaters. They, just like other kids, have their moments. Sometimes they eat everything. Sometimes we stay …
My son was ecstatic when we surprised him with bunk beds for this Birthday…he was even more excited when I asked him if he wanted the lower bunk turned into a fort with curtains he could open and close. I love doing things for Henry he gets SOO excited for the littlest things. Remember the …
This weather has me struggling. No sun for what feels like 49053 days and I need some Spring in my life! Last week I declared it “Get it done” week. A week to get all the little annoying things I wanted to do, done. One of those items was put a fresh coat of white …
I am a firm believer in “don’t have things in your home that you don’t use, love or need.” I am also a firm believer that if you are going to keep something for “sentimental reasons” then it needs to be displayed and loved, not just thrown in a box. That just makes it clutter. …
I wanted to try something new with my Cricut Explore Air 2. I wanted to try my hand at designing my own lightsaber Valentines for my Kindergartner. They didn’t come out how I envisioned, but I still like them. I will give a few notes on some things I might have done differently but my …
A few weeks ago a friend was over and we were just talking about our homes and she was saying that she really wanted to learn how to makeover furniture like I do. Then she asked me a question I never really thought about. “What furniture have you purchased new?” I started to think about …
Petting zoos, buncey houses, magicians, performers, rides. I love a good kids birthday party. They’re fun, my kids have a great time , and we remember it. What I don’t like, is the PRESSURE to have one. Something has happened in the last…lets say 12 years…just from what I am noticing…kids birthdays parties have become …
I have been wanting silhouettes of my kids since they were born. I think they’re so adorable, so classic and a perfect touch to any wall. I remember in Elementary School the teacher having us sit in front of the screen projector and tracing our shadow so we could make them for our parents. A …
Remember my easy burlap wreath that went viral 5 years ago? Well this is the same concept but heart shaped for Valentines day or even cute wedding decor! This wreath is very easy and I have made many videos on the technique as well. Here is the how you actually do it in written form. …
I wasn’t going to blog about this little makeover because it’s just paint. But this piece is one of my most asked about in my Instagram Stories. I purchased this piece from the Facebook Marketplace for $45! I have been searching for a small cabinet to put in the corner of my dining room but …
Ever since we switched out the sofa in our living room with the one in our sunroom just for the time being, the 3 focal frames we had were slightly off and I took that as an opportunity to try a gallery wall. I have done small ones, but not one over a significant amount …
I have had LifeProof Vinyl Plank Flooring from Home Depot in my home for over 3 years now and it’s the number one item I get asked about. I thought I should just have a brain dump of all the things I get asked about, how I feel about it, do I regret it etc. …
New Year, New Office! I am so ready to tackle the new year with a new office refresh and it feels so good! I liked the way it was set up, with a pegboard for my crafting supplies and chest that held my office supplies etc. Well all that changed when I purchased two new …
As 2019 draws to a close I wanted to create one last post of all of my favorite projects, memories, products and just leave 2019 with a grateful heart. Thank YOU First and foremost I want to thank all of you. My readers and followers, old and new for coming along this journey with me. …
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. In my last project post where I used my Cricut Explore Air 2, I mentioned when I first received it I was overwhelmed and a little scared to use my Explore Air 2. Well, I have …
I have found some great pieces lately that I just had to have in my home. Of course whenever I find a piece I immediately think of what color I’m going to paint it. Country Chic Paint recently sent me a couple of paint colors to try, the first being Darling a light pink that …
