Today is the LAST DAY to enter the Bonita Bellita giveaway! Please scroll down to enter! A good friend of mine is moving. I’ve been working with her at church, and though she’s not moving far, she won’t be attending my church anymore. I wanted to give her something to express my thanks, as well […]
Okay crafters- you are in for a fun treat today! I “met” Bre through Online BlogCon and became an instant fan of her blog. She makes crafting so amazingly fun and sassy. I just love her style and have so much fun reading her blog. And her projects? (singing voice) Awe-some! So, let’s get to it! […]
About a month ago, I attended a baby shower for a girl in my church who was getting ready to have her first baby. (The baby was born last week- welcome Makenna!) This was a great opportunity to make some of the baby gifts that I’ve been thinking about, thanks to blog-surfing, Pinterest, etc. I […]
Last year, my sister came for my birthday. It was a huge deal because she lived in Virginia Beach at the time, and I hadn’t seen for almost three years. My husband surprised me by flying her out for my birthday! We had a blast- shopping (sans kids), eating out, and just playing. Now she […]

Before I share this post with you, I want to say something about parties: I love to plan parties for my kids. But, you’ll probably never find me featured on a party blog. The reason? I believe in keeping things on a limited budget, and in helping the kids have a great time vs. making […]
Every year, we make our own Christmas cards. Here’s what we came up with this year: I used my digital scrapbooking software to create this cute card. In this case, it was My Memories Suite. Did you know they have released a new version? You can purchase it by clicking on the link in my […]
I had a dilemma. Since I got into crafting, I’ve been trying to save money by making gifts. When I was invited to my sister-in-law’s bridal shower, I knew I wanted to make her something cute to bring into her new home. I also wanted it to be useful. A bridal shower is really about […]

Today I made a cute summer sign featuring my favorite summer drink–lemonade– and I’m sharing it with you! I love these three-dimensional wood plaques you see at stores everywhere with cute designs on them. I’ve asked around a ton of times where to get blank ones to make. Everyone would tell me they just […]
When we started our family, I wanted to make a stocking for each of my children. The only problem was, I didn’t know how to make one. I didn’t knit or crochet, and at the time I hadn’t sewed in years. Then, one day online, I came across Bucilla’s Felt Stocking Kits. I immediately thought- […]
Three Things I’m pinning this week 1) We desperately need a new mailbox! It’s so bad it will require its own post when I redo it. But for now, I’m pinning inspiration. What do you think- would you use any of these makeover ideas? Link here. Pin it here. 2) I LOVE Navajo Tacos! Our […]
