A few weeks ago I ran across an image of awesome triangle shelves from Alyson of Sugar and Bash and I just knew that I needed to make some for myself. I finally had the chance this weekend to construct them (with the help of my husband), and they really were not that complicated as […]

I first tasted this take on salsa 6 or 7 years ago, and I just loved it! It is a definite summer must for me. Just this, a bag of thick tortilla chips, and a salty frozen margarita are the perfect way to end a summer day. The great thing (aside from the fact that […]

If you keep up this blog, then you may have seen my colorblocked cinder block succulent garden before. After posting a photo of it several weeks ago on Instagram, I realized that I never did a formal post about how to make your very own. The process is fairly simple and relatively inexpensive. The most […]

I don’t know about you, but I have so many family photos that I have had printed from Social Print Studio (formerly known as Printstagram) just laying around. Sure I have framed a few, but the rest are just in a pile that I occasionally flip through. I am currently working on a fun wall […]

I knew immediately once we got this house that I was going to turn the space under the stairs into a fun play area for the kids. Luckily we didn’t need the space for storage. I had grand visions of a fun filled space that the kids could call their own. But my daughter had […]

To tell the truth, I am not that into portrait or traditional art, but I do love me abstract art. I have a few in my office that you may have seen in my Gallery Wall Wednesday and Home Tour Tuesday posts about my office, and I also tried my hand at one a few […]

Happy 4th everyone! We will be celebrating the day with family and friends. But to start out the day, we made patriotic waffles. Just waffles, blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream.  Have a great weekend! See you Monday! 

I used to love to cook all the time, but after having two kids, it has become more difficult and more of a chore to cook dinner every day. But one thing that I manage to do almost everyday is cook breakfast. Whether it is muffins, waffles, breakfast tacos, or scones, for some reason it […]

Every time I am at a craft store, I can’t help but search for inexpensive crafting supplies to turn into fun blog projects. The other day I stopped into Michaels to pick up some supplies for my 4th of July pinatas. While I was there I found some awesome 3D bamboo and cork letters. Despite […]

It’s that time again, time for another Home Tour Tuesday post. Today it is all about my powder room. This was one of the first spaces that I started when we moved into our house. I like to start with the powder room because it is small and easy to design on a budget. When […]

With the 4th of July fast approaching this weekend, I thought these little individual piñatas would be fun for the kids to enjoy during the festivities. They would look super cute strung up as decorations or as centerpieces on the picnic table during your celebration. The best part is that they are pretty easy to […]

Most of the time my kids don’t eat much dinner. Either they are full by the end of the day or just don’t want to eat what I made. When I am looking for a full proof dinner that I know my kids will eat, I go for this baked breaded pesto chicken. It is […]
