No Sew Curtain DIY

There are a few things that I change like underwear. One of them -- other than underwear -- is curtains. At least, I would *like* to change them often. The problem is that curtains can be spendy -- to say the least. Not to mention the time it takes to browse to find the right set that won't break the bank. But, it's amazing how a new set of curtains can change a space in no time with minimal effort. So, I was thrilled when a dear Instagram friend shared her curtain hack with me and I hope that ...

Easy Snow Village Upcycle

I'm bringing nostalgia back today with an easy Snow Village upcycle! Do you collect Snow Village pieces? I remember my mom always setting up a special table with each piece. When I was older, setting up the village became my job. I loved arranging the town and the people, imagining that they lived some sort of magical life of their own every holiday season. I could just see them coming alive once everyone went to sleep -- strolling down the snowy streets, window shopping, carolling. It was my ... VIEW POST

A Little Farmhouse Fall Inspiration

2020 has been one heck of a year. Between being pregnant with little monster number five and dealing with the ongoing pandemic, we are reeling. Time has both flown and stood still, it seems. As I sit here, I'm wondering where October went as we trudge right on in to November. Something you should know about me -- once Halloween ends (we're talking once the kids go to bed), it's Christmas time. I start decking the halls pretty darn early because it makes me HAPPY and because it takes so darn long ... VIEW POST

Glittery Glowing Monster Jars

Glitter. You either love it or hate it. I'm in the "love it as long as I don't have to clean it up" category. Let's be honest, if you decide to bust open the glitter, you're committing to one to two weeks of picking it out of everything. Like, every nook and cranny. You'll probably even find it in your underwear. It doesn't matter how hard you try to contain it. Once you release the sparkle, it's "game over." Whether you love or hate glitter, you're almost certain to appreciate this colorful, ... VIEW POST
