I finally gave up on a normal winter and decided to put my 'winter wonderland' decor away. The most snow we've had this entire winter has been 4" , serious bummer.

Then I had a light-bulb moment and realized mercury glass isn't just for Christmas or even winter anymore - WHEW. I had just purchased a new mercury glass … [Read more...]

I'm trying out something new today - a video instead of a written word. Maybe I'm a weirdo so when I'm in a hurry I actually take my laptop into the bathroom with me and scroll or watch video's while I'm getting ready (maybe that's why my laptop is covered in hairspray). I'd don't know many women who aren't insanely busy - so I hope you enjoy! What do you think - video? Or written? … [Read more...]

Don't get nervous I'm not really a hoarder. They only place I felt I could put this cute little piece was in my daughter's room. I had recently upgraded her room from nursery to tween and thought it could be cute. Problem was, it could NOT stay red! Here's how I made it work: Step #1: Take apart (write down … [Read more...]

Those are the days we dream of the old bath commercial, "Calgon take me away!" Did you know we have a choice? We can actually decide to be positive … [Read more...]
