I want to thank Grove Collaborative for partnering with me on this FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set post. It’s that time of year again. Our house is buzzing with activity, from basketball season starting, to throwing holiday and birthday parties, to wrapping gifts and decorating the house. Not surprisingly, my desire to have a clean, welcoming home intensifies tenfold in November. Fortunately, it’s also the time of year when Mrs. Meyer’s holiday scents return. Not only do they look and smell festive, they also make the task of cleaning and doing dishes a lot more enjoyable! This year, Mrs. Meyer’s… Read More

How To Make DIY Lanterns From Scrap Wood

October 31, 2018 2 Comments

Lanterns come in all shapes and sizes. They are also made out of all kinds of material. I love every one I have seen, but the wood lanterns are my favorite. I feel like they are more timeless. They won’t go out of style. They will always look good in our home (even when I want to change things up, which happens more often than not). When I started seeing lanterns in stores that I loved, I took photos of them and studied them because I knew we could make them at home. We have made a few different lanterns… Read More

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this How To Make A Faux Mantel Tutorial. All opinions of their amazing brushes are my own.

If you are a creative person who creates a lot of things, then you know that craft supplies can become an overwhelming mess fast. I have always loved creating things and our daughter, Gabrielle is following in my footsteps. She loves to create all kinds of things. It is her favorite thing to do. When we knew that she was going to spend a lot of time making things, we set up a spot in the kids room in the lower level of our home for her to create away. She has a work station that she can spread out… Read More

Paper clutter is something we all have to deal with. The amount of paper that comes in and out of our homes can become overwhelming quickly. From mail and bills to school work and permission slips, paper clutter is part of our lives. I am a huge believer that any kind of clutter not only takes up space in our homes, but it also takes up space in our minds. It causes stress and tension in our homes and the only way we can overcome that is to take control and get organized. The paper organizers I found for this… Read More

Halloween Drinks: Vampire Punch

October 23, 2018 Leave a Comment

Halloween is here! It’s a great excuse to dress up any way you like, eat your favorite candy and celebrate with family and friends. Since our kids were little, we have always had my family over for dinner before we all ventured out to go trick-or-treating. We had our same “candy-gathering” route and some of our favorite houses to visit were the ones where the adults would camp out in the driveway with a fire pit. There would be multiple families in their driveway and they would eat and have Halloween drinks while they handed out candy. They would always… Read More
