In case you missed it: Weekly Wrap-Up

January 18, 2014 Leave a Comment

Ok… so if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have been having a pretty crappy week.   Actually, it hasn’t been that bad yet.  (Knock wood.  Please God.)   I think it was caught early enough and I was on medication for it within 36 hours.  Keep your fingers crossed for me. […]

Cute fabric ruffle Valentine’s wreath.

January 17, 2014 Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day tends to be one of those holidays that by the time I think about decorating for it, it’s already upon me and I end up doing little or nothing for it.  (There are also some years where I am still cleaning up Christmas in mid-January and to be honest, I’m out of steam.) […]

10 handmade Valentine Ideas for boys.

January 16, 2014 1 Comment

As the mother of boys, I have always had a bit  of a challenge when it came to finding pre-made Valentine’s Day cards for them to hand out to their classmates during class parties.  There isn’t a huge selection, and when you know every other boy in the class is giving out the Hot Wheels […]

Pottery Barn inspired LOVE wall art. (A knock-off project)

January 15, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love me some Pottery Barn.  However, I don’t love the high prices on some of their items…  Especially on some of the items that I might be able to make myself.  Trish and Bonnie from Uncommon Designs saw a really cute “love” wall art in Pottery Barn’s catalog and decided to make one of […]

Feather Valentine’s Wreath.

January 14, 2014 Leave a Comment

Having  just packed up my Christmas decor, I usually am not too excited to start dragging out more decor for Valentine’s Day.  I usually like a bit of a “breather” before injecting more seasonal decor into my home, but this simple wreath from Bombshell Bling (formerly Craft Quickeies) is perfect.   I love that this […]

Inside out chocolate covered strawberries.

January 13, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love chocolate covered strawberries.  To look at.  I like the notion of them, in that they’re beautiful on a plate, and that they seem decadent and special.  However, to eat them is a bit difficult.  They are kind of messy… you take a bite, the chocolate cracks, drops everywhere and makes a mess.  Or […]

Sunday Rewind: The secret to melt in your mouth, tender steaks.

January 12, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love a good steak and I always worry about choosing the right cut of meat.  Then I worry I am going to over-cook it and turn a beautiful cut of steak into beef jerky.  Then we found the secret  to super tender, melt in your mouth steaks.   Want to know the secret?  I […]

Here’s what happened on the blog this week: Sunday […]

A cute and rustic branch photo holder.

January 10, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love framed photos, and as many as I have it seems like I have just as many loose photographs floating around the house.  That’s why I am in love with this fun photo holder from homework.  How clever to make a branch photo holder? I think it is so stinkin’ cute that Carolyn (the […]

DIY single-use soaps for Valentine’s Day

January 9, 2014 Leave a Comment

I asked a few crafty experts to tell me about some of their favorite Valentine’s Day projects and recipes, so I could share them with you.  This project from Suzy at Suzy’s Sitcom is such a clever idea: Single Use Soaps.  Brilliant to begin with… but add a seasonal theme to them? Genius!  I love […]
