Our front door got a paint makeover a few years ago, because it was an inexpensive way to update a door I wasn’t in love with. The glass in the door still wasn’t really my style or really my home’s style either. It didn’t let a ton of light in and I didn’t like that …
I first saw this piece on the Facebook Marketplace and I thought it looked really interesting. It was $50 but I didn’t know where I would put it so I didn’t want to pay that much. After a few weeks it went down to $40 then a few weeks it was still there so I …
It’s done!! I have been wanting to paint my living room/dining room/hallway and entry for almost two years now, but it just seemed like such a big project I didn’t want to do it. I think the main reason was because this whole space was the last space for me to take down the chair …
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 …
Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate and show every Mom how much you admire, love, appreciate and cherish them. But it’s not just for your Mom. Every Mom or “Like a Mom” should be celebrated. So I found one of a kind, lovely, personalized gifts you can give your best friend, your Grandmother, Aunt, …
I have been looking for a cabinet this size for awhile now so when it became available on the Facebook Market Place for $45, I snatched it up within 10 mins. I had to have it. But when I posted the before picture of this cabinet on my Facebook Page, I had sooo many people …
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! …
Every winter we head down to Florida as a family to visit my snowbird parents. I always want to go to one large amusement park with the kids, but it can be tricky with two little ones because with the amount of money pay for the tickets and anything else you want to purchase inside …
Spring is coming! Living in NY I always get excited once the snow starts to melt and I start to see the birds coming back. But that also means…the dreaded allergies. In the Spring and Summer our cars, patio furniture and anything else that is sitting outside usually gets covered in layer of pollen. Just …
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 …
I tend to still think Aldi is a hidden little gem that no one knows about. I still have friends that have never tried Aldi even though I sing their praises all the time. If you don’t know what Aldi is let me tell you because I think some people think it just a little …

Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day as a Family: Leave little surprises …
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 …
Every year as it’s winding down, I take a look at my blog and post what the most popular posts were that year on my blog. That way new followers and readers can have a chance to see what they missed etc. Well, this year I decided to tell you all the things that I …
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 …
