This was a great weather week. I normally feel rushed straight from Winter into Summer but this week I actually felt some Spring. While the kids are out playing in the back, I get some light gardening done. I have a post coming soon on some garden inspiration so hold tight. When it gets dark [...]

Time to spring clean! In with the new, out with the old. I said that backwards because it really is hard for me to let go of things. So I never give up something until the replacement is in and working.  Here are a few things on my “to get” list for the house this [...]

I’m a summer baby but I sure do love the Spring (and the Fall) for the same reason. It’s a fresh start. This picture is of a tree in front of my house. It’s the first thing I see when I wake up. When I see it bloom, it represents so many different things. For [...]

It sucks majorly when you can only do one table because you’re worried about the [...]

In my next life I plan to learn how to carve a mean ass pumpkin. But in this current one, I don’t want to make any mistakes and and hurt myself or the kids. The Spooky Sprinkle is coming up and since it’s part baby shower, the decorations have to have a baby element to [...]
