Spice Jar Organization

by

I know how blessed I am to have a pantry, so I’m seriously not complaining. But it’s in need of some organization… especially the spices. Awhile back, my friend Dana and I etched baby food jars for my spices, and while I love this look, sometimes it can be hard to read. So I’ve been wanting to add stickers to the tops too. I just went online and found free label templates, added the text ... [ Read More ]

Life as it happens…

by

My people! My friends! So sorry for the radio silence. We’ve been… you know, living life and stuff. And then sometimes I’m like, OH YEAH I HAVE A BLOG! My beloved had a birthday… so there was that. He bought himself a birthday present a few months ago in the form of a dirt bike, so all I had to do was pamper him and make him one of these: Oreo Cheesecake y’all. Here’s the recipe. You’re ...

Super Soft DIY Comforters {Toddler Room}

by

It’s been a little while since we’ve touched on the progress in the girls’ new room, so if you’re new around here, be sure to check out previous posts we’ve written on this topic! It’s my favorite room transformation of all time. We all have different skills, and sewing isn’t one of mine. About 50% of my sewing adventures go down in flames and end with ... [ Read More ]

Little old end table into modern chandy!

by

We’ve lived in our house long enough that I’m finding myself itching to re-decorate things that have already been ‘decorated’. This is extremely counterproductive, considering our mile-long to-do list. But when an idea strikes, and we already have everything on hand… I just like to think that IT DOESN’T HURT ANYTHING.  Except maybe my marriage. That is the look I get when I ask him to take ...

The Mother of all Mom-Days

by

Yesterday was a bittersweet day for me. Mother’s Day is a day filled with mixed emotions… teetering between being overjoy that I have the honor of being a mommy, and pain for those who desperately want to be a mommy, or recently lost their mommy… or worst lost a child. It plagued me the entire day. What did I do to deserve this incredible blessing… TIMES TWO! The girls were clueless about what ... [ Read More ]

Affixing a mailbox planter #seriouslystrong

by

Who knew that creating our Native American House Number Art for our entrance would create such a snowball effect and become a ‘porch transformation’! We recently shared how we made our Planter Boxes… and several of you have been asking about the mailbox planter that we have under the house numbers. I’m so glad you asked… because I’ve been excited to share this super simple project! I ... [ Read More ]

Geometric Inlays for Custom Box Planters

by

So, you may recall last week we laid down a step-by-step tutorial for building custom box planers (that tutorial is here), and promised we’d be back to share how we added the geometric trim work! It looks tricky, but it really isn’t… especially with the right tools! When we ripped down our 1x4’s (because we needed 1x3’s) to build the planters, we saved the 1x1 strips of wood to you as ...

Lion House Rolls

by

Hey there! It’s me Meghan from Cupcakes with Sprinkles! So many times I go to the store and want to buy rolls and I am always disappointed. They never come close to homemade rolls. But I feel overwhelmed thinking about making rolls myself cause it seems so time consuming. Now I am here to tell you its worth the time and they are not hard at all to make. The main thing is how long it takes to ... [ Read More ]

YOU CAN

by

The girls have been going through a ‘I CAN’T’ stage. They don’t even try. Yesterday they could put their shoes on. Today, they’re a pile of pathetic tears… conveying to us the impossibility of our request. Sometimes it’s really laughable. Like saying they CAN’T reach their cup on the counter when their hand is basically already holding it. They  CAN’T find their baby doll even though they had it ... [ Read More ]

Build your own Planter Boxes!

by

With the weather finally warming up enough to step outside, we’ve been hankerin’ to whip up some outdoor projects to give our sad exterior a pick-me-up and just generally make it feel more like home. Having built the pergola last year, we knew that come spring we would jump into it again. Evennnnnntually we need to put patio paver stones under the pergola (and extend it out even further), but that ... [ Read More ]
