I am so ready for warm weather and spending time outside! How about you? We are in Southern California and we use our patio a lot, and truth be told, it’s lookin’ a bit tired. A few fun pieces could brighten it right up. One only needs to spend a few minutes on Pinterest to […]
Refreshing the house for spring. Lighten up, already!
Even though the calendar says it is spring, much of the country is under several inches of snow. Brr. We don’t have that problem here in Southern California, but I’m still itching to lighten up around the house. I’m ready to bring in some color and some more light. I realized one of the things […]
A quick trip to Habitat ReStore.
Most people have heard of Habitat For Humanity and the fabulous work that they do, but did you know that they also have stores? Habitat ReStores help to raise money to fund HFH projects and have locations in 49 states. Yesterday I met up with Barbara from Chase The Star to explore one of our local […]
Mixing patterns and colors… It shouldn’t be scary.
Are you a scaredy-cat when it comes to mixing patterns? Do you wonder how some designers and home decor bloggers seem to do it effortlessly, while if you give it a go it looks like your room was designed by the Ringling Brothers? How about color? Are you go big or go home kind of person […]
My new love: A portable phone charger.
If any of you were following along with our #grant2disney weekend, you probably noticed I was Instagram-ing, Facebook-ing and Tweet-ing pretty much non-stop. Why didn’t my iPhone die?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I know that for some of you, Thanksgiving is the day that you enjoy your family while you mentally prepare to brave the crowds and find the deals on Black Friday.

E.L.F. cosmetics helped reattach my friend’s eyebrow.
We’ll get to the eyebrow incident in a moment. I write a lot about crafty stuff and decorating. I like clothes, but care more about the price tag than the fashion, so I am hardly what you’d call a fashionista. I like make-up and nail polish too, but I don’t want to pay too much […]

Target! We all love Tar-jay, and most of all, we love those glorious little red clearance stickers. Frugal shoppers have keen eyes, and we can spot those little suckers at 20 paces. If you search across the web, or just hang around in your local Target long enough, you will find that the basic […]
