From Doors to Windows…. So if you follow me on Instagram you saw that my husband was so very sweet and brought me home not flowers but something far better- windows. He went dumpster diving for me! It didn’t take long for me to decide one of the windows was going in…
It’s unofficially the start of fall and I am so happy!!! I love fall!!! Ok, I love when it feels like fall, I love pumpkin patches, I love apples and I love football (duh) oh I could go on and on! Today as I write this post is very humid…
Hi All!!! I have mentioned a few times recently that we have done some work in our kitchen, Phase 1, and have more work ahead, Phase 2. I wanted to share all of the changes that happened in Phase 1 but really have no before pictures so you can see…

Ready for more Craigslist love?!?! Today, I’m showing you how I re-purposed a free crib into a display for my daughter’s swim ribbons. Oh yeah, I said FREE!!! I found a free crib listed on Craigslist awhile back. I’m pretty sure the “seller” didn’t want the crib to go to…
