I just want to take a minute to introduce you to a new sponsor- Sunny Buttons.

Sunny Buttons offers some […]

So I was walking through Target with my faux-twins, when I spotted some ceramic turkeys in the clearance section. I asked the kids if they knew what turkeys say.

Guess we really are sisters! 😉 (Check out Laura’s project […]

Memorial Day is just around the corner, followed shortly by the Fourth of July (say what?!) This wreath will be a great decoration to fit the festivities. I used beaded necklaces and a scarf from the dollar store. I’m not sure why, but I always feel like patriotic things need a little sparkle. Thinking of […]
Do you know how hard it is to just pick THREE things I love? I could probably call this series Thirteen Things, or even Thirty things. But I won’t. Anyway, here are three things I found this week that I love: 1. This Ruffled Business Card Holder at Johnny in a Dress is super cute! […]
