Home Improvements: Wallpaper Border

September 18, 2009 by Bethany Sy

When we bought this house, the previous owners were generous enough to leave us their shower curtain, towels, rugs, soap dispenser and trash can that so vibrantly match the neon daisy wallpaper boarder and corresponding neon wall color. It wasn't our fave, though I know if I were 12, I would have chosen this exact color combination.Now THAT'S enough to wake you up in the morning!In an effort to ... [ Read More ]

Rodents

September 14, 2009 by Bethany Sy

There are some things a girl never has to worry about until they acquire a piece of land in the country. One of those things would be Ground Squirrels. Now, I consider myself to be an Iowa girl, born and raised (if you ignore the fact that I lived in 6 states since high school), as well as considering myself to be a fairly intelligent individual (luckily spell-check just ...

Home Improvements: Headboard

September 8, 2009 by Bethany Sy

Granted, I'm no interior designer (though I wasted a lot of money thinking I could become one) I still cruise around my house looking for little things I could improve or update to make our home as beautiful and personalized as possible... on little to NO budget. So, as i stood at the foot of our master bed, I sadly look up at my lack of headboard. The dilemma being: I have a super cute comforter, ... [ Read More ]

First blog entry EVER!

September 3, 2009 by Bethany Sy

Well, I went from being notorious for my compulsively nomadic moving from state-to-state nonsense, to now being a new wife AND new homeowner of a beautiful house in the country, dead center in the 'middle of nowhere Iowa.' (aparently our address isn't can't even be found via GPS). Our lovely home was built in 1900 and is set on 5 grassy acres with plenty of mature shade trees. To complete the ... [ Read More ]

Hold finger on screen to pause and read! Making l Hold finger on screen to pause and read!

Making lunches is weirdly fun for me. So I snap a pic here and there to share and give ideas! Keep an eye on my stories for more! 🫶

I try to get at least one fruit and one veggie in there. For main dishes, some ideas besides sandwiches are: bagel, noodles with butter/parm, hotdog/bun, quesadillas, chicken nuggets, rotisserie chicken, ham/cheese rolled up in tortilla, and don’t forget about LEFTOVERS!!

My kids would rather have cold leftovers than a sandwich, so they don’t complain. But there’s also thermos containers if you love your kids more than I do. 

Don’t forget a sweet treat! This is a great way to get rid of Halloween or parade candy. 😬
Every summer, I learn a little more about gardenin Every summer, I learn a little more about gardening. This year I learned:

🥒don’t transplant cucumbers after they’re established or it’ll stunt their growth and they won’t climb your trellis
🥕till deeper for carrots so they aren’t short and fat
🥦plant cruciferous veggies earlier in the spring so they’ll have time to mature fully

 🙌Things I finally nailed: tomatoes, watermelon, basil, lettuce/spinach, strawberries, greenbeans. 

What did you learn this year? And what have you mastered?

It’s so hard to stand by and watch our kiddos no It’s so hard to stand by and watch our kiddos not feel good, am I right?! 

@Dimetapp Cold & Cough is our go-to for itchy, stuffy, runny noses and coughs! And I love that it is alcohol free, trusted by pharmacists, and the kids love that the taste is actually sweet! No more spitting out yucky medicine, here. Exactly what they need to feel better, faster. Now we can finally get back to doing all of the things we love together, like getting crafty at home with some fun DIYs. 

What’s your next DIY project now that we’re all feeling better?!

Use as directed. @dimetapp #DimetappPartner #backtoourregularlyscheduledchaos
Getting the SAME TOP on different colors/sizes and Getting the SAME TOP on different colors/sizes and doing a mommy-daughter try-on session is both incredibly awkward and FUN! 🤣
