DIY Pantry Makeover
Our Pantry Makeover is complete. Call it crazy to clean out a pantry in the middle of a pandemic, but I’m getting stir crazy! It took at least a month to complete because I did what I could during the week and my husband did other things during the...
DIY Pea Pebble Fire ring
It’s usually always better to do things right the first time, which is something I’m still figuring out. When I decided to put in a fire ring in the backyard, I was thinking all I had to do was add landscape fabric in a circle formation and dump some pea...
Closet turned Wrapping Paper/Crafting Space
My little crafting corner is complete! This room was once just a game room and the closet just a place to store costumes, CD’s, and other random stuff. After I lost my craft room to my son’s new space, I turned this little corner into the...

Christmas Tour Continued…
Apparently I totally forgot about the upstairs Christmas pictures! Did some quick photos this morning. I feel like everything this year has been a whirlwind! I quickly wrapped gifts to mail off and trying to get so much done before the weekend. Well, soon...
Christmas tour 2019
This year was a special one for decorating because my Mom was in town for Thanksgiving and our annual trip to the tree farm and decking the halls. I feel so lucky she got to be here and I miss her so much already. Her loving hands helped add the ornaments to our tree...
