When I was trying to decide what to get my girls as a thank you for being a part of my day, I knew I wanted something that would be personal and functional. So I ended up putting together my own personalized box of goodies for each of them!

DIY Red, White, and Jean Wreath
As the only girl in a household of 4, few things amaze me more than how quickly my boys can burn through a pair of jeans. My five year old comes home with holes in the knees, my husband manages to literally tear off pockets, and I HATE throwing away jeans that are still […]
Big Hero 6 Birthday Party Ideas
My oldest is a July baby and that means in order to send home invites through school we have to celebrate early! So while this mama was getting a jumpstart on party planning, I was going through photos of his previous parties for ideas. I loved few of his parties as much as his […]
DIY Magnetic Makeup Board
When we lived in our first apartment, our master bath never seemed to have enough counter space. As much as my husband tried to establish His and Hers sides my traitorous eyeliners and rebel lipsticks inevitably drifted over the demilitarized zone and firmly into “His” side. After one too many squabbles, I decided there […]

This is actually my second time doing this project. The first was way back in 2014 but I made a few mistakes that led to it not surviving the move to our new home. So I made a few adjustments and here is my new and improved DIY dinosaur dig lamp how to.
An Easy As It Gets Dinosaur Wall Mural
When I was designing our son’s room before we moved, he had one request: Yellow! As much as I tried, I could not dissuade him from wanting a yellow room. Now I’m not sure about you, but bright yellow is not my favorite color and I was pretty sure he would tire of […]
