My husband and I have been together for 18 years! 8 years married this June. So I like to think that I am kind of an expert on Men’s gift giving. My husband is not the real “tech” guy or even a “outdoorsman” but he a little mixture of everything. One thing he does appreciate …

If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen this makeover in my stories, if not head over there and they are saved in my highlights. I have been looking for some kind of small table for our family room. I wanted to add baskets for toys so it had to have a shelf …

When it comes to Easter decor I don’t really do a whole lot. I might throw a few bunnies on the shelves, maybe some eggs and call it a day. Well Spring has been really late to show up this year and I was craving some fresh decor and pastels to brighten up dreary NY! …
After a little break after the holidays I got the itch to do something creative again. So when Country Chic Paint sent me some to try out, I couldn’t wait! (used code homegirl10 for 10% off your first order!) I have had this wood piece in my staging inventory for years and I have always …
Today is my Birthday and this is 39. I should rephrase that. This is MY 39. Each birthday I feel like everyone starts to look at their life and what they want to do different. I started thinking at the end of last year about 2019 as a whole. How this year will be the …
Aren’t picky eaters so frustrating! I always said my kids will eat what I make or they won’t eat. Well, that went out the window when they wouldn’t eat anything I made. They have the typical toddler eating habits of chicken nuggets, hot dogs, pasta and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Thankfully they will eat …
I always wanted a large, make a statement fabric headboard, but they can be so expensive! I knew I could DIY it. I wanted a soft, fabric headboard that would be comfortable to watch tv, and relax in our bed. I had forgotten to take photos as I was going along but you will still …
For Christmas decor this year I went way less than I usually do. I don’t know if it’s overwhelm, or because we are not hosting this year as we usually do but it’s a bit minimal for me. Even so I wanted to at least show you my dining room shelves. I think they might …
These videos were part of my DIY an Ornament series on Facebook Live during the month of November. I wanted to put them in one place incase you missed them or just need to reference them back. I love doing these video series for you. Last year my DIY A Gift Series was such a …
Growing up, opening our stocking on Christmas morning was the first thing we did when we woke up. It was full of candy, fun little wrapped gifts and those little things that are fun and cute. So I’m pulling together all those little fun things to stuff your loved ones stocking with. Including yours! Best …

In this post I am showing you how to create wood slice ornaments, but you can do this for a wedding …
Sometimes I just want to make dinner without a little walking under my legs. All I want is to make a phone call without someone screaming. All I want is not to have someone telling me they’re bored. If this is also you, then these are the gifts to get for your kids this holiday! …
A couple of weeks ago I shared my new board and batten that we put up next to our door to make a little “kid zone”. Just an update, They love it, Henry is so excited to hang up his coat and put his shoes under his little stool! Anyway there was a blank area …
Ever come across something while shopping and have so many ideas come to you instantly? That’s what happened while shopping at Home Depot and found 24″ grading stakes that were inexpensive for a huge pack! The first idea that came to my head was lining our walkway with little snowmen made with these stakes. I …
A few years ago we added board and batten to our side entry which is how we always go in and out of our home. I wanted to add it to have a place for the kids to sit, hang our coats, storage and just make it inviting when we walk in. We have had …
I love sleep. With two toddlers I need it. Thankfully, I have two toddlers that are great sleepers. But one thing that hinders my sleep is being too hot. I need a comforter on me when I sleep. It doesn’t matter how hot it is outside, I need that comforter. So to make sure I …
