I’m not sure why I never made a Halloween wreath last year, but it was long overdue. I browsed pinterest for awhile to look at different themes for a wreath. I typically love the candy corn colors, but was quickly drawn to a more simplistic gray and black wreath with a spooky character. I decided […]

Okay.  Truth.  I get a little envious when I see beautiful craft rooms like this. source I browse Pinterest and easily get down on myself when I see amazing, creative crafts someone came up with, like this: source Does that ever happen to you?  Do you compare what you have or what you’ve made to […]

I hope you all are about to have a wonderful weekend of celebrating our country and spending time with friends and family! I get to spend it with my immediate family tonight, and then head up to see my mom, brother and Valerie! Yay! I don’t get to see Valerie very often so any chance […]

A LONG time ago, I mentioned I was in the process of re-doing my daughter’s room.  Well, I finally have finished what I started, and even got around to taking and editing pictures! When my daughter graduated from her crib and moved into a “big-girl bed”, we painted her room over from the pale baby […]

In light of the recent bombing at the Boston Marathon, I’m grateful to live in a country where such things are NOT common.  When they do happen, we pull together as a country in support of each other– at least for a little while :).  I know it’s a little early, but I’m feeling patriotic.  And […]

You guys. Our master bathroom is strange.  I don’t know who agreed to this design, but it really is a little bit awkward. The bathroom is adjacent to the master bedroom, but there is no door between them- just a nice wide arched opening.  (Privacy is so overrated!) Inside the main part of the bathroom, […]

You can tell that it’s time to go back to school in some parts of the country.  Even if your starting date isn’t today (like ours), you’ve probably got it in the back of your mind.  Today I have a round-up of some Creative Projects to Make for Back to School!  These are great for […]

Every year I’ve wanted to go to Snap.  Every year I talked myself out of it.  Blogging has been just a hobby for me.  I couldn’t justify the cost or time away from my kids.  And every year, I’d kick myself as I’d see all the posts roll in, recounting the amazing classes, the bags […]

Wreaths, wreaths everywhere.  I’ve even done posts just spotlighting wreaths!  Sometimes, I just want something different to hang on my front door.  So, I decided to make myself a cute letter to hang up instead. Long ago a pinned a chevron letter on Pinterest, but I can’t find it, or maybe I just liked it […]

Have you ever felt something drifting away from you? I consider it a blessing to experience this feeling often in my life. Once in college, my boyfriend told me that he loved me (over the phone, but that’s beside the point). I knew when he said it that I didn’t feel the same way, but […]
