They aren’t replanted yet, but today I wanted to show you how I saved a couple of old flower pots. I have a couple of planters that have been around here for quite a while. Â I like the style of them, and I have repainted them several times over in order to get more life […]
Spray paint saves a rubber spider.
This post may contain Amazon and other affiliate links. So way back in February… I was already thinking about Halloween. I knew when I saw this spider at Target’s Dollar Spot that I needed to buy him, and that I would do something to him in just 8 short months! Yay! A little of Krylon Metallic […]
A handy reminder about silica gel packets…
Using silica gel is a great way to preserve and protect your seasonal decor, especially items left in apothecary jars.
Sorry, but I have a “no reptiles” policy in place.
Grant’s class is studying the US Postal system… how to address an envelope… where the stamp goes, etc. Â They are practicing writing letters too. Â I received the following letter in the mail yesterday: (Just in case you can’t read it… here it is word for word.) Dear Mom, Your the BEST mom ever! You also […]
Decorating with {free} sticks.
I love decorating with sticks and twigs. There are so many options! The best part? They’re usually just laying around, waiting to be picked up.
Turn old shopping bags into gift bags. A paper craft DIY.
We all have them… a stash of shopping bags. It bugs me that they are usually the perfect size for a gift bag, but you can’t very well give the gift of Legos and put them in a Ann Taylor bag, now can you? Â (Because that would be weird.) Fortunately, it’s totally possible to turn […]
Fool-proof, roasted chicken. The secret? Brine it.
I love an easy, fool proof recipe. Here’s another one of my “Go-To” favorites. Â (This is also what we do for our Thanksgiving Turkey each year and It. Is. Awesome.) Have you ever used a brine for chicken or turkey? Â No? Â Well, it’s about time that you gave it a try, don’t you think? I […]
Ombre Owl Artwork (from Dollar Store Halloween decor)
I love “distressed” art projects. Â They’re so forgiving. Â If it isn’t perfect, or you really mess something up…. that’s ok. Â I meant to do that. Â That being the case, I really enjoy this type of project. Â Here’s my latest: Ombre Owl Artwork, using Halloween silhouettes from the Dollar Store. This was really quite easy to […]
No more sugary drinks… (I don’t care how convenient their location might be.)
When we go camping or on a road trip, I treat it as the special occasion that it is and I buy drinks and snacks that I would not normally buy.  I am not a sugary drink/soda kind of  mom. One of the drinks we had on our last camping trip were these SoBe Orange-Carrot […]
Chicken Chili: My favorite easy, yummy “go-to” meal.
I am looking forward to fall for several reasons, but one of them is that I just feel more in the mood to cook in the fall.  Hearty soups, stews and one pot meals just make life a bit easier. I want to share one of our very favorites with you today:  Chicken Chili. My kids […]
