To celebrate the upcoming Valentines Day, I made a wreath for our front door. I really like making little wreaths. With a super curious toddler running around, it is super hard to do alot of fancy/cute decorating for many holidays. A nice front door wreath can easily be made during nap time and its out [...]
I am getting very excited for Thanksgiving next week. I have gotten the meal all planned and I think I will try brining a Turkey this year. I have read that it makes a super tender and delicious turkey, so we shall see. How to Brine a Turkey . I will also be making a pecan and [...]
This week I thought I would do some pumpkin painting to liven up the decor around here. Since painting them keeps them from rotting to early, we could enjoy them now since we have to wait until the last minute to carve the jack-o-lanters. The warm weather down here in Florida does not keep carved [...]
I wanted to try to fix up my patio furniture without spending a ton of money. New cushions and cushion covers cost almost as much as just buying a whole new patio set! The chairs and cushions of our sets are in good shape, just the fabric is very faded. I did some research and [...]
Babies and toddlers love mirrors. My little guy loves looking at himself. I wanted to put a cool mirror in the playroom like you see in little kid fun houses. I really liked this Bubble Mirror but it was more than I planned on spending. I painted and finished a frame, then cut down a larger mirror [...]
While on our epically long vacation, Jake learned to crawl. Then, just this week he suddenly started walking! I had not done much baby proofing before because there wasn't a need for it. I figured I would just do it as I see issues arise instead of going overboard and extreme baby proofing the house. [...]
The past few weeks, I have been slowly working on getting my gardening and plants back to looking nice. I had to take a small break while Jake was small. He now can sit in the wagon and drive around with me for a bit. Usually just a half an hour but enough to get [...]
The first of March requires some Spring cheer! Many of my friends and family are up North where the weather is still cold and snowy, so here is some fun Spring decorating and wreath crafting for today's post to help beat those winter blues. It was Jake man's nap time... let the crafting begin! I [...]
Our house in Florida has TONS of wall space for paintings and pictures which is awesome for an artist! I have done a great job filling it up. (I'll need more wall space soon!) I have always wanted a really cool family photo gallery wall in my house and until recently, I figured it would [...]
A few years ago, I made this wine cork wreath for my mother-in-law on Mother's Day. I finally got around to making one for myself and wanted to share a little how to with everyone. It is a pretty nice DIY Christmas gift for a wine lover or someone who likes cute rustic decor. And [...]
