Do you remember moving into the very first place of your own? I do and I don’t think until that moment I realized how much STUFF I needed just to function day to day. Nowhere was that more apparent than those empty kitchen drawers and cabinets. Money was tight so eating out in ad […]
Fall is just beginning but as those of us with children know Halloween will be here before we know it! I don’t know about in your neighborhood but in ours there have been a few times a few neighbors were ready to head to bed and literally dumped their whole bowl in my son’s […]
This week we have had highs in 80’s in Texas which means to us it feels like fall! So this mama wanted to get in the fall spirit and make some fun treats for my child’s lunchbox. Rice Krispie treats are always a winner and are easy enough to make I could get my […]
I know what you are thinking. Few things in life seem as simplistic as picking out a baby gate, why do I need a how to. Two Months ago I would have thought the same thing but three returns and one ruined baby gate later I beg of you to let me help you. This […]

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 project is one of my favorites but I actually did it a LONG time ago when I was decorating my oldest son’s nursery. I’m thinking I may do something similar to finish out our new baby’s nursery so I pulled these out and fell in love with them all over again. So if […]
