Originally I made these baskets for our guest bathroom which is right next to our front door and it gets used a lot by little boys who are still learning to aim in the toilet.  On top of that the guest bathroom is a dreadful country blue, help! Needless to say, our guest bathroom needed a little […]

When my little one was first born, I had a hard time finding a balance with my style and the fact that I had a little one cruising the house.  I new there were things I needed to put away that were possible dangers but I also didn’t want to get rid of my pretty living […]

Yay! You dont’ know how excited I am that I finally get to share with you our playroom.

In the past, on this kind of cloudy day I would’ve just waited for a sunnier day to take my blogging pictures.  But then there were those times I couldn’t wait because I was taking pictures of our dinner meal that wasn’t ready until the evening and only using our awful kitchen fluorescent lighting.  So, I quickly realized I […]

We have been “decking the halls” in our home with lots of Christmas cheer! My 6 year old still enjoys crafting so he is usually my little helper and today we made this Santa wreath and a fun little nativity scene using toilet paper rolls and scrap fabric.  They both turned out adorable and I […]

Advent Calendar Using TP Rolls – I love empty TP rolls and I have a really hard time throwing them away.  Okay, there’s my crazy crafter confession for the day. Don’t worry you’re  not going to see me on that hoarders show on tv. I do throw other things away just night TP rolls. Just […]

Today we spent our day decorating our Christmas tree!  We had so much fun picking out a tree yesterday and today we finally got around to making it pretty.  I walked into my house after church and I was blasted by the smell of ever green pines. That’s one of the many reasons we love […]

I love chipotle and I try to sneak it in to as many recipes as possible.  Though the smoky and tangy flavor is not one you can truly “sneak” in without someone noticing.  This Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus is the perfect way to get your family to enjoy some healthy snacking.  In my opinion, if you […]
