how my business began | part 1
I’ve shared about my business before and how it all began, but I haven’t shared the entire story. …and it’s time that I do. So, let’s go back to 2008. I was a youth pastor’s wife/stay-at-home mom of a 2-month-old and 17-month-old. The story of my life was diapers and bottles. And for someone who […]
megan’s office | part 2 |the “franken-chair”
Back to Megan’s office makeover… In case you missed part 1, you can find it HERE. Right away, we started talking about what she had in the space and in her basement stash that we could use an repurpose. There’s no sense in buying something new when you can shop your own house! Since this […]
10 minute decorating | teacup topiaries
It’s time for another 10 minute decorating idea! I partner with a few other bloggers, once a month, to bring an idea you can complete in a few minutes…while dinner is on the stove or as the kids are playing happily. I tend to work on projects that take a lot longer than 10 minutes, so it’s […]

Along with the interest in the garden and plants, I decided to spruce up our outdoor living space as well. […]

[…]
antique blue & white pedal car
I’m not into cars at all. I drive an old van with over 230,000 miles on it and I’m content. I know exactly how many pieces of furniture I can wedge into it. But, if money weren’t an object, and I wanted to spend it on a car that was purely for fun, I […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
Good evening, all! Sorry I’m a bit behind schedule today, but I was having some technical difficulties. Anyway, you may have seen that I posed a question to my readers earlier this week – What do you want from my blog? The answers have been so helpful to me and confirmed a lot of my […]
