A common question I get as a twin mama is “do they have their own clothes?” or “how do you decide who wears what?” The answer to the first question is: No, they share all their clothing. The answer to the second question gets a little tricky. Mainly because, sometimes one is going through a chubby stage and might be a little tight in a specific outfit… so I’ll put it on the other girl. Or, since ... [ Read More ]
20 Simple DIY Projects for UNDER $20! (Great Homemade Gift Ideas!)
Good morning! Don’t you look radiant this morning! Wouldn’t it be delightful if someone said that to you every morning? Bed-head and all? Instead of, ‘babe, I think you’ve been wearing that shirt all week’. Christmas cards from family and friends have been trickling in, although we haven’t decorated for the holidays yet (getting the tree this weekend), I broke out our DIY Photo Wreath! This was ...

Tutorial: Photo Lighting for Staging DIY Furniture
Yesterday I was looking at Pinterest, and noticed that someone had pinned the very first buffet we overhauled, 2.5 years ago. With it being one of our very first furniture transformations, I was sooooo proud of this piece… and honestly I still am! BUT, I cringe when I look back at my furniture-photographing-skills. YIKES! There are so many things wrong with this photo. It’s no secret that I’m ... [ Read More ]
DIY: Towel Rack turned Curtain Rod!
FRIDAYYYYY! What a week it’s been. Between the girls’ nap-strike, the thin film of drywall-dust on my eyelashes, and the awkward web-cast that went terribly wrong when my computer died… I’m ready for some nothingness. Were you guys watching that? UGH. But before I fall into my coma, I wanted to share our little curtain rod idea for the wall at the top of our stairway. After FINALLY finishing ... [ Read More ]
Better Blogging Google+ Hangout Video Series (I got invited by the big-shots!)
YOU GUYS… Brooke (from All Things Thrifty) called me last night while I was doing the dishes. Cause, you know, we’re BFF’s.

IVF Anniversary
You might be surprised to learn that… as a blogger, it’s FAR easier to complete an entire DIY project and compose a blog post about it, than to write a heartfelt post about my personal life. Not because it’s hard for me to bear my soul… cause it’s not. I’m pretty darn open. It’s just hard to put words together to make a sentence that makes sense. Who can describe how much they love their family? ... [ Read More ]
Tutorial: DIY Painted Buffet w/ a Chevron Pattern
How do you like that for a title… so creative, I know. Sooo HI! I finally finished a piece of furniture to share. It’s been awhile, huh? Things have been slow-moving (understatement of the century) as we’ve been working away on Operation: WALL BE GONE, and chasing our two enthusiastic toddlers. It’s like they siphon my energy and add it to their already extensive supply. We bought a buffet from ... [ Read More ]
A New Tradition… Christmas Tree ‘Shopping’
How many of you have been around here long enough to remember this post about me whining about having an artificial Christmas tree? I’ll have you know, we took the plunge… Before you judge us for decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving, know that we just went tree ‘shopping’ and chose our tree, without cutting it down YET. Think of it as Layaway. We went to Poweshiek Pines, and they had ... [ Read More ]
Tutorial: Installing a Light Fixture
Hey hey, Nick here, coming at you from a technical side. Lets talk electricity… more specifically wiring a light fixture! We often get comments from readers discouraged to take the leap in the DIY world because of their lack of experience. Well let me tell you folks we don’t have it all figured out! As a matter of fact, most DIY’ers don’t. When we run into a problem, we Google it or read a book ... [ Read More ]
