I haven’t been very good with thinking of crafts for the sisters to participate in. Sure, they’re not even two yet, but this is such a crucial time in their development to learn about textures and color and get real dirty. I need to get on the ball! Since they’re always seeing me paint something or other, I thought whipping out some finger paint with paint brushes could be fun. This ended up ... [ 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 ...

Etching Baby Food Jars for SPICES!
Last night, my girl Dana came over for a little convo and crafting. With Nick working second shift, it’s a special treat to have a friend come over in the evening, and even more special when we get to be creative together! And even MORE special when she brings Funfetti Cake mix and Smirnoff Cherry Limeade. Yep, that happened. It was a delicious mess. After cleaning up our disaster in the ... [ Read More ]
Secretary {Part 2} ~ LAYERED Stenciling (you heard me!)
Wowzer… whatta morning. We got up at 6. I washed sippy cups and got their milks ready while Nick emptied the dishwasher. Babes woke up at 6:30, and drank their milk while Nick and I sipped our coffee and gazed lovingly into each other’s bloodshot eyes. Nick gives all of us girls kisses and is out the door at 7. Babes read books and play catch with the ball, and then go down for naps at 7:30 ... [ Read More ]
Bonus Project! {Picture Frames out of Furniture Doors}
If you joined us yesterday, you know that this little gem got a serious facelift. And after removing those doors for our client (and adding a shelf), did you really think we would just throw the doors away? Of course not! That would have been wasteful. I asked Nick if he could cut out the inset panels so I could use them as picture frames, and he jumped at the opportunity to use his ... [ Read More ]
Doily Bowls using Fabric Stiffener
…So we got this cute little snacky 3-tired-bowl thingy as a wedding gift back in the day. I can't find this exact 3-tiered stand anymore, but here's a similar one! (this post contains affiliate links) Having had some doilies lying around (I love doilies!), I thought it would be fun to try my hand at making doily bowls in various sizes to fit perfectly into the openings! And the existing ... [ Read More ]
Just So HEXY!
Monday greetings to you! Did you all have a glorious weekend? It’s HOT outside, no? Last year, Nick and I cancelled our Netflix subscription over the summer because we wanted to be encouraged to do other things than be in front of the tube. We tend to get a lot more accomplished, and we get along better… weird? Yes! But THIS summer, we vowed not to watch any TV whatsoever! …with the ... [ Read More ]
Paisley and Adelyn’s First Birthday Party
I probably should discuss the fact that we had a wonderfully successful and super cute Birthday Party for my little chickies. We almost didn’t have one, because it’s not like they’ll remember it or anything. But my friend Nicole pleaded with me that it will be so fun and adorable. And she’s very persuasive! I LOVE to entertain, but party planning? It makes me break out in hives. I get really ... [ Read More ]
