This will be a hodge-podge of information today. First of all, I worked and worked on a spring wreath for my front door. We live on two acres, and our house sits back a way from the road. Because of that, I wanted a solid-colored wreath that could be seen as people drive by. So...stores never have what I want, Martha Stewart is too expensive, blah, blah, blah.

I work outside of the home, and for anyone in the same boat, I thought of a way to connect with my kids on the mornings that I leave before they get up. I saw these mailboxes (in their unfinished … [Read more...]
