Happy {almost} new year! I can’t believe the year is winding down. It was just October, right? It’s this time of year as I start packing up the holiday décor I begin to see the projects I didn’t finish or the ones I want to begin. What projects did you finish in 2014? Do you already have your list of diy projects [Read more…]
Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. I will be enjoying some time with family.
I am so excited to share this great idea for the holidays. It’s a downloadable printable for a Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt from Revolution of Mom. What I love about this is it is great fun for all stages and ages. Grandparents would have fun with this for a weekend at grandma’s or something for “nothing [Read more…]
Hi there- I found these stair case garland ideas in October and I am just now sharing. My original plan was to change the garland in my home after seeing a friend’s much simpler, cuter idea. My middle child would call this plan, “hashtag suburban mom probs.” I didn’t get any garland up this year on [Read more…]
Hopefully you are reading this with that great hook in the title. One of my kids loves fruit. I buy fruit in bulk because he will eat a 1/2 dozen Cutie oranges after school. As always, when I buy fruits and veggies in bulk I am always faced with where to store the produce so the family eats it! So this [Read more…]
I love the holidays and all the lights and décor. But, I must say one of the reasons I love the lights and the boughs of holly is because it hides the dust. There I said it. On some days the magic in the day is disguising the dust bunnies! Here’s a peek into a [Read more…]
Ewww….. if this is what my coffee mug looks like, what is the coffee (and tea) doing to my teeth? Don’t answer that one! Here is a quick stain removal tip for your stained coffee mugs. I keep a 1/2 bleach: 1/2 water solution in a spray bottle and use it for disinfecting the sink [Read more…]
Seriously, I am learning to cook because of my soup bowls. The official name is the double handled soup crocks. It was love at first sight when I spotted these on display at World Market last year. I spent 15 minutes debating about the color. I went with a shade of green, but now I have my heart [Read more…]
These cinnamon rolls are from the recipe of a dear friend. She coaches me at least a few times a year on recipes when I either have a mishap or can’t find the recipe! These are perfect because you prepare them the night before and then bake the next morning! My family loves these during [Read more…]
Hi There- Here’s a quick upcycled wreath I made using tree trunks and branches from a neighbor who recently trimmed his trees. I asked if I could take some before it was hauled away. He couldn’t load my car fast enough. And, then the branches sat in my garage for a year! I up-cycled a broken frame, added [Read more…]
We are in puppy heaven right now with a 16 week old Bernese Mountain puppy, Chloe! Of course, during the crate and potty training we nicknamed her Cujo (1990’s movie reference.. or was it the 1980’s) and Crazy Eyes (from Orange is the New Black). But, look at this precious face during the day! We are [Read more…]
