“You are my sunshine…my only sunshine…You make me happy…when skies are gray… You’ll never know dear…how much I love you…Please don’t take…my sunshine away…” This song takes me back. As in, back to kindergarten. Amazing how something so small and simple can transport you across the years that way. It’s also something I’ve sung to all my babies, as I’m sure most of you have. Aaaand I have a little niece who is quite…

Your hands are busily trying to finish dinner without burning it, it’s the baby’s fussy time, the phone is ringing, you have a long list of to-do’s, and your mind is occupied with all of these things, while your other kiddos whine that there is “nothing to doooooo.” After a couple of rejected suggestions you may find yourself saying, “I don’t know…just do something!” Does this scenario sound familiar? It may or may not be a composite of personal experience. 😉 In times like these, it…
I had grand plans, y’all. I’m kinda famous for ’em. I see potential everywhere. Problem is, things don’t always turn out quite the way I envision them. Like the plans I had for this DIY Indian corn. I had the coolest idea. I knew just what I was going to do with it, and it was going to be the most adorable thing. Except that it didn’t work so well. Very frustrating. But then I remembered that the light bulb took a few tries to get right, too, right? So I…
Fall is unofficially here.! Leaves have already started to fall in my yard, and the weather is absolutely perfect. I enjoy all the seasons, but fall is my favorite. I kicked it off with my favorite kind of project…the quick & low-to-no-cost kind. I made some pumpkins from cans, so I just haaaad to call them pumpcans. 😉 Join me over at Busy Mom’s Helper for all the details…

Well, summer is in full swing, and I’m trying to find the perfect balance between getting lots of things done, and getting some R & R. How ’bout you? Today, for my contributor post, I’m sharing a tutorial for this Super Easy Chalkboard Banner. It’s the perfect little project for the lazy days of summer. But my favorite thing about it, is that I’ll get to use it over and over, all year long, since it’s erasable! Hint: It’s very similar to the chalkboard on my dining…
