I hope you had a great weekend! We took a little mini-getaway to Gatlinburg over the weekend and had such a good time hiking in the mountains, shopping and eating all kinds of yummy food. Speaking of Gatlinburg, it’s right here on our Family Wall Calendar. I shared some glimpses of our Family Wall Calendar …

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the Blogosphere and Pinterest – it’s this: You don’t need to be an Artist, to create your own Art. Poetic, right? Springtime puts me in the mood to create. Who am I kidding? I’m always in the mood to be creative! Springtime, Summertime, all the year long. Anywho, …

I have an IKEA Raskog cart in my home and I love it! It’s marketed as a kitchen cart but it can be used in many areas of your home. I actually use mine in my bathroom to hold towels, my hair dryer, and other items.  It keeps the items I use daily organized and …

A little over a month ago I shared the plan and inspiration for our Entry Way Makeover. It has come a long way since that “before” photo and we are loving the new space. Our Entry Way is now full of color and personality, but totally functional too. I love it when a room looks …

In February, while Lora and I were completing the YHL Thrift Store challenge, I found these cute jars with adorable aqua colored lids. I knew the color would be perfect for my home so I picked them up with plans to spruce them up! I decided I would add knobs to the tops of the lids …

How was your weekend? It was a long weekend for us and we had lovely weather, which meant more Spring projects around here! I painted another door in Celebration Blue, finished up a project for our entry way and planted some flowers. My little guy also got to plant his first flower. That is his …

What did you do over Spring Break? Erica and I didn’t have a Spring Break (i.e. we don’t have kiddos in school) but both of our Moms had a Spring Break. Even though their children are grown, they each volunteer as leaders in an organization called Bible Study Fellowship International which follows a school year …

I love IKEA but unfortunately there is not one close to me so I usually only go once or twice a year. Because my IKEA trips are not frequent, I like to prepare before going. Today I’m going to share 10 tips and tricks on how to shop at IKEA. 1. Check out the specials …

Hello, April. I hope you bring some Spring weather with you. If you choose not to bring Spring weather, then I will just have to pretend. Over the weekend I completed one of the final projects in our entry way — which also happens to be a nice big dose of Spring happiness. A freshly …

On Monday I shared my little boy’s “Have a Ball” Birthday Party. Today I’m going to share 3 simple, DIY projects from his party — all of which could easily be adjusted to fit any party color scheme. The Pom-Pom garland was one of my favorite projects — and it turned out quite simple too! …

Last week, I showed you how I made wall art using paint and stickers.  This week, I’m going to show you a quick and easy way to make wall art using Mod Podge and scrapbook paper: For this project, you can use any size canvas that you prefer, but I find using one that is …

Happy Monday! A week ago my little boy turned 2 and we celebrated the day with family and friends. Around 1 year of age, when he started talking, his first word was “ball.” A year later, it’s still one of his favorite words and his favorite toys. So it just made sense to have a …
