Sometimes I say, I’ve never met a hobby I didn’t like. But then, I remember that one. It’s a lot of work. It takes practice. And time. I mean, I don’t even bake the cakes around here anymore. (When your girls say, Can I bake my own birthday cake? You say yes!) Some occasions call for…

But I think you’re gonna like this little diy. It’s for all you white-dish-loving mamas out there. Like me. You see… I have these white coffee mugs that look so cute on my mug tree, (find it HERE) which is so handy at my little coffee station. When we have people over, everyone can just grab a cup, and fill ‘…
Spray paint is my best friend. Really. We’ve been close ever since I discovered how easy (and cheap) it is to take something I already own, was given, or thrifted, and make it better. Like this chippy little bird. There’s just something about chippy little birds that I love. Kind of like sunshine. They are sweet and happy, but still rustic. They have that “been around for a long time” look. So, I decided to make myself one. I bought a little bird from the dollar tree, and gave him a makeover. It was…
It’s official. I’m a mother-in-law. (And loving it!) We officially survived the wedding of our first-born. Well…I did. The jury’s still out on her daddy. 😉 I wanted to share this little idea I used at the bridal shower, in case there’s a wedding in your family’s future. Thought it might come in handy. It’s so easy (you know I love easy) and not expensive, and unlike some favors or party prizes, this is something you will actually use. I just bought some cute…
If you ask me, the BEST projects are the ones that take only a LITTLE time and money, but give you a result that you LOVE. That makes this pretty much the best project ever. 🙂 How would you like to make a chalkboard for under $1 in under 1 minute, with no paint involved? I love it when cheap, easy, and beautiful all come together in a project, don’t you? Years ago, a friend gave me this gorgeously framed picture, because she was moving. And while I love old pictures, I just never really fell in love with…
No, I’m not kidding. I thought about naming this post “How to Get Your Very Picky Teenage Son to Eat Vegetables,” because that’s how it came about. For a child who has had a life-long aversion to vegetables and all things good-for-you, he somehow loves restaurant salsa and store-bought salsa in the jar. In his mind there is no connection to vegetables here. However, if I buy tomatoes and chop them up to make fresh salsa, which is amazing, nope. He won’t eat it. Go figure. So…
