DIY: Mini DiaperCake and Personalized Name Decor

There are so many methods of making a diaper cake…so as promised, here is how I make mine. It involves a lot of rubber bands because I am usually assembling these by myself. If you can acquire an extra pair of hands to hold the diapers in place you may not need as many =)  […]

DIY: Scrabble Name Decor

A friend and I tried to implement a Thrift Store Swap locally…then summer came and we kind of forgot that we were doing a swap. Eventually, one of the items (a ceramic candle topper) was murdered in a tragic garage cleaning incident.  I still intend on repurposing my items…but I’m not in such a hurry […]

Tell it Tuesday #10- Must like noises to try new things

While we were watching a fireworks show, the loud noises scared a young boy about the same age as my youngest. He started to cry so his father carried him away. Instead of empathizing with the young man she made a conclusion.  Seriously, I don’t know where she gets this stuff. Loud gun shot type […]

DIY WASH Laundry Decor

DIY WASH Laundry Decor

Decor for a laundry room? Yes, it’s a thing now…but I can’t bring myself to pay for decorations that will be rarely seen. Honestly, if it’s expensive I lose interest, no matter how pretty it is. Something handmade. Something that I enjoy making is more my style. Want to see how I made this easy […]

Fresh Laundry Makeover

Fresh Laundry Makeover

Creepy laundry rooms in the basement are now a thing of the past. Laundry rooms today are functional AND pretty. My laundry rooms have always been privy to non public areas of my home- such as the garage or basement-until now. The whole concept of a pretty laundry room is new to me.  Meet my […]

Tell it Tuesday #9- Cuddle Party

One night my family of 5 ended up crammed into my bed for a pre-snooze cuddle session. Mind you, I own a queen sized bed. It wasn’t the most comfortable arrangement but we probably could have made it work if we were tired enough. Between giggles and various sized feet in my face, my son […]

Tell it Tuesday # 8- Don’t Judge Me

One of the joys of having a 9 year old and a 3 year old is the randomness that is exchanged between the two.   We were out of coffee in my home…and me + three children – coffee = disaster. On our emergency trip to the coffee shop, my son and daughter were arguing […]

4th of July Wreath Makeover

I received this adorable fall themed wreath from a Thrift Store Swap that I was participating in.   Even though I liked it as is, I had to give it a new look.   So I removed EVERYTHING, including the welcome sign.  Then spray painted it blue.  What a difference a fresh coat of paint makes!  […]
