Incorporating wood items into your design!

by

Good morning to you! We had a wild and busy weekend filled with family and new friends! We love getting the girls out of the house, and especially love that they get to spend time with family members they don’t get to see often. Nick’s dad volunteered to take us on a hayrack ride on his tractor, which instantly made him a celebrity with the girls... being the tractor enthusiasts that they ... [ Read More ]

Oh just STUFF

by

Phewf! This week has been a doozy! I reeeeeally, really, really hoped to post about the accent wall in the girls’ room today, but alas (as usual) DIY throws us a curveball. We’re waiting on a tool to come in the mail so we can finish things, and it’s been delayed another week. UGH! Luckily I’m not a planner and I can roll with the punches. I seriously considered posting a sneak preview, but I just ... [ Read More ]

Apple Brown Betty Recipe

by

Hi! Its Meghan from Cupcakes with Sprinkles! I can't believe Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is near. I am so excited cause that means that Christmas is right around the corner! But before we get to Christmas I have a fall dessert for you. Have you ever heard of Apple Brown Betty? I think I'd heard of it but I had no idea what it was or what was in it. So while search through apple recipes I ... [ Read More ]

DIY Tablet/Recipe Book Holder under Cabinets

by

A few years ago, we installed a clothespin under our kitchen cabinets to hold recipes and keep them out of messy ingredients while cooking... because who likes crusty recipe cards? It served it’s purpose for a good long time! As time has worn on and technology advances, we now need to keep our tablets out of the mess. Amiright? Pulling up a recipe on your iPad and bringing it to the kitchen ... [ Read More ]

What’s HAPPENIN’!

by

Man, it’s almost as if I posted the toddler beds and then decided to take a blogging siesta! Sorry folks! We’re still alive over here! Nick and I are in the throes of Christmas-gift-making, and trying to stay ahead of the game so we don’t find ourselves in a panic come December. Handmade gifts are definitely easier on the pocketbook, but take a lot more planning. FO SHO. We’ve also been making ... [ Read More ]

Toddler Bed / Mini Fainting Couch {Tufting & Upholstery}

by

This Fainting Couch Toddler Bed has been SUCH a fun DIY project. If you're just tuning in, check out Part 1 and Part 2 to get you caught up to this point. Today we're tackling the UPHOLSTERY! I’ve had to step outside the box with this project... jumping into carpentry and power tools (with an AMAZING and knowledgeable {and sexy coach). But upholstery is a whole other ballgame. I referred a ... [ Read More ]

HARVEST

by

It seems like we went from Summer to Fall pretty much overnight around here. The girls soaked up their outdoor play time to the very last drop... it’s going to be a loooooong winter.   Harvest has been in full swing here in the country. Growing up in town, I just thought ‘harvest’ was a wholesome/fancy way of ... [ Read More ]

FINALLY Pulled the Curtain Trigger!

by

You might remember... oh about 6 months ago, we asked your opinion on our Facebook page about which curtains and gave you these options. There were 151 of you that weighed in, and while I loved reading each of your suggestions and reasons behind them, there was no obvious front-runner. And curtains weren’t really in the budget just then anyway, so I just tried to put it out of my mind for the ... [ Read More ]

BEAUTIFUL Inspiration for Quiet Busy Books

by

I'm so excited to shamelessly share my mom's amazing sewing talent with these incredibly intricate and colorful Quiet Books... or as some people call them Busy Books! I knew a lot of work went into each and every page, but when she made a book for each of my babes... I couldn’t believe how much love and effort went into each stitch! Prepare to be blown ...

Giddy about GARBAGE

by

Today is a BIG DAY here on the homestead. An actual garbage man in an actual garbage truck CAME TO OUR DWELLING and picked... up... our... garbage! Can you believe it? Way out here in the country? For the past 4 years (since we moved to the homestead) we’ve been burning our garbage in our burn barrel, just like most good country folk. This allowed Nick to meet his pyromaniac quota, and gave us ... [ Read More ]
