Masculine Wrapping Ideas

December 1, 2013 by Chris

Masculine Wrapping Ideas

Happy December to you! In other words, happy month of buying that perfect present and wrapping it just right. Part of my monthly challenge with Lowes is to show some gift wrapping alternatives. I was all over this one 'cause Lowes has plenty of cool things to use! Don't get me wrong--Lowes offers plenty of beautiful paper and wrapping supplies, but I wanted to show how you can get creative … [Read more...]

DIY Christmas Centerpiece

DIY Christmas Centerpiece

December is almost here, and I'm juuuuust starting to freak out a bit. I've purchased one present for Christmas, and I don't even have a turkey for Thanksgiving. In 4 days. So what do I do when I'm under the wire? I decorate for Christmas. As part of my Lowes challenge this month, I decided to make a centerpiece for the holiday. I've been meaning to make one of these things for some time, so it … [Read more...]

Thankful Leaves

Thankful Leaves

With the upcoming holiday season, I find myself diligently trying to come up with ways to keep my kids appreciative and aware of their blessings. Oddly enough, I find that it gets a little more difficult as they get older. They "think they know", and they "get it, Mom". I have nearly perfect kids, but they can always be more appreciative, right?  I've made and talked about Thanksgiving garlands … [Read more...]

DIY Witch’s Hat

October 31, 2013 by Chris

Yes. It's Halloween night, and I am showing a Halloween craft. Call me crazy.  I found this witch's hat in my co-workers cabinet in her classroom. If you're anything like me, you're thinking, "And why a witch's hat (with tags still on, mind you)?" I know her well enough that I didn't bother asking. I held it up, squealed, "Can I have this?!" and ran away with it. Price? Free. Most of these … [Read more...]

DIY Pottery Barn Mirrors

My friend Lindsay from Makely School for Girls  decided to host a brilliant blog hop, and I get to be a part of it! We're already into day 3, so stop by and see all the other amazing projects! Did you see Carmel's candlesticks? Mad skills, I tell ya. Head to Our Fifth House to see them.  So this is going to be that absurd moment where I tell you I have an amazing knock-off to show you, but I don't … [Read more...]

It’s a Birthday Party!

October 9, 2013 by Chris

It’s a Birthday Party!

It is officially official. As of 8:14 this morning, I am no longer in my 30's. I know what you're thinking. Clearly, I don't look old enough to be 40. Orrrr you're thinking, "She's only 40?!" Either way, it happened. I don't feel great about it, but I'm not exactly upset. Of course, it always helps when one of your best friend's (THE Thrifty Decor Chick) is celebrating her birthday on the same … [Read more...]

BA Friday: Kitchen Reveal

BA Friday: Kitchen Reveal

One of my favorite people in blogland is Freckles Chick. I do very well with funny, and this girl is "make you spit your drink out" funny. I think it helps that her sense of style is SPOT on, and I've been following her home's transformation for quite a while! Five years to be exact. That make me sounds creepy. I'm not? I'm not kidding you when I say I struggled with which room to choose (they're … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

Can you believe I've been blogging all these years, and this is my very first recipe? I think it says a lot about how I cook. :) It's so good, perhaps it was worth the wait. My grandmother was the BEST baker I've ever known, and this is her recipe. I basically grew up on chocolate no-bakes, but this peanut butter version is a show-stopper. Everytime I bring them to a party, someone asks for the … [Read more...]

Seasonal Wreaths

Seasonal Wreaths

Hello and happy Monday to you! Or in my case "the last Monday" before I go back to work. I've been in nesting mode all week--trying feverishly not to get overwhelmed with all the things that need to be done with 8 less hours to do it. It's always easy to nest when the holiday season is arriving, and I've curated a round-up of my favorite wreaths for Hometalk! I love this little jewel of … [Read more...]

BA Friday: Bathroom Makeover

My friend Jen (I can say that now!) from I Heart Organizing certainly needs no introduction from me. She's a blogging/organizing idol to many--me included--and I just had to show off her bathroom transformation. It compelled me.  Here's the before-- And the after-- Two main reasons I'm madly in love with this space. First, the changes were rather simple, yet completely stunning. There were no … [Read more...]

DIY Mirror Frame

DIY Mirror Frame

Happy Monday to you! We've been busy with projects galore over here, so it's probably time I show you one of them. I had a mirror over the mantel that I bought from Lowes. When I say I've searched everywhere for the right size mirror, trust me. I. searched. everywhere. We have 8-foot ceilings, and I opted for a really tall mantel--meaning I needed the width, but not so much the height. I digress. … [Read more...]

5 Things That Won’t Happen at Haven Conference

That time is upon us. Haven Conference is days away! You're either getting excited or nervous. Or perhaps both. Instead of telling you what you should be doing or what you should have prepared, I'm writing this to hopefully put your mind at ease. I'll preface this by telling you I'm a pretty laid back person. Sometimes you need a laid back opinion to put things into perspective, so here are some … [Read more...]

Just a Girl Travels: Heidelberg, Germany

Otherwise known as "the moment I fell in love with Europe." Believe me--the list of beautiful places grew with each stop, but this is where it began. Heidelberg made us gasp. We. loved. it. I think it had something to do with the time of day we arrived. I just feel like the view anywhere is always prettiest toward the evening. But that's just me. Here we go! 1. We saw the largest wine barrel in … [Read more...]

Basement Remodel

Basement Remodel

Well, it's not technically a remodel since it's never been modeled. When we built this house, we were all, "We'll finish the basement ourselves! Yeah!" 11. years. later. Ha! We had the contractor frame in the basement, but now it's time to tackle the rest. When I show you these pictures, you may not find them impressive. But just imagine 11 years of toys, decor, and storage that hadn't been gone … [Read more...]
