We switched out a computer armoire for a smaller desk in our living room about nine months ago. The desk works much better for us now that computers are much more sleek (remember the old days of big bulky computers and all the attachments that went with them?). Except for ONE thing…the armoire hid this! […]

Here’s an easy way to dress up cupcakes, pies, cookies…or in this case, muffins! All you need is WASHI TAPE and TOOTHPICKS (and scissors, of course). Choose some coordinating colors and various widths to make single and double point flags. Use your imagination…no two need to look the same! Then simply stick them into your […]
minions
Those little creatures, the MINIONS, are riding a tidal wave of popularity this summer. They have their own movie, the featured toy in Happy Meals at McDonald’s, a spot on the Chiquita banana stickers, and many toys to promote themselves. We saw the movie a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with these […]
prepping the produce
I like to keep my house organized so that we can function as a family. It does take time to be organized, but it is so worth it. One thing that I do at the beginning of each week is prep our produce for the week ahead. I found these food storage containers from IKEA […]

Happy July everyone! I can’t believe we are entering the second half of the year…the first six months of 2015 went quickly. The Fourth of July will be here in just a few days, so I’ve added a few decorative touches to our home for this all American holiday. a festive wreath for the front […]
no bow gift wrap
Today is my niece’s birthday! I can’t believe she is 10 years old…time does fly! My girls and I had a fun time choosing a few gifts for her last week. Unfortunately, we don’t get to see her open those presents. She lives in Charlotte, NC…which means we will need to mail a package to […]
summer reading plan
I loved to read when I was a kid…I still do! Summer reading was and still is more enjoyable to me. There is nothing like taking a good book and curling up in the hammock while reading. Unfortunately, two of my daughters have struggled with reading over the years. They are dyslexic learners, which makes […]
end of school year milestones…retirement and graduation
Today is the last day of school in our community…the day all school children have been ready to see for the last month! Except my second grader, who went to bed in tears last night. The tears are understandable, as she has had an exceptional teacher this year. I couldn’t dream of a more compassionate, […]
the reveal
As a special surprise for G’s recent accomplishments (graduation and confirmation), I planned a fun mother daughter trip to Chicago this summer! She loves Chicago…it is one of her favorite cities! Instead of just telling her we were going on a trip, I put together a slow reveal of the surprise. Inside the four blue […]
