Hello and welcome back to the second installment of the One Room Challenge of Spring 2016! I know I know it’s only a few weeks late but you guys to say I’ve been busy is an understatement. I was sick the week this was supposed to go live and this past week the 500 year flood…the second one this year…hit Houston. I was stuck at work
Surprise! Welcome to my new site. It’s still not finished but it’s so much better than my old space! If you are new to my blog and popping over from the One Room Challenge linkup from Calling it Home, HI! I’m Lura. I’m a fur mom and a wife and I am a jane of all trades. I run, sew, build things, train dogs (except when my
Fact: I don’t have kids but working in pediatrics has taught me a lot about baby vomit (especially on nights when I’m working in the NICU). Any parent can tell you that babies throw up a lot and if you aren’t prepared things can get a little messy. I have a really great friend who is expecting her first baby and this weekend was her
If you’re like me, at least one of your kitchen drawers is a mess. I have a few more than one but I digress. And thanks to my friend Amber’s project linkup (using jars!), I’m conquering the most organized drawer by finding a new storage solution for our cupcake, muffin liners. I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner…it was so easy and it
I love boxwood wreaths but I could never see myself buying a live one to try to keep alive or you can drop some pretty money and buy yourself a preserved one. I decided to challenge myself and make my own…out of paper. I’ve seen a few other DIY paper wreaths and I was completely inspired! Keep reading to see how the project went down…our tutorials
We purchased our home with the intention of making it our own. A lot of things are outdated and we are slowly changing things as we learn what works best for us. And while we’ve been living here for four years now, it’s still a work in progress…(will it ever NOT be a work in progress?) Changing out light fixtures is something we did recently
Soon after Hurricane Katrina, I had the chance to travel to New Orleans in an effort to help rebuild the city. I’ve been wanting to write this post since I started blogging but I’ve been hesitant to share. Sometimes strangers behind keyboards can be quite cruel. As cliche as it may sound, the words used to write this post are very hard to find because
It’s that time again. It’s time to share my DIY Halloween costumes for the dogs. If you’ve been reading here for while, you know that each year I make their Halloween costumes. If you are new here, you can catch up by reading about last year (here), and the year before that (here).I usually start planning for the next year the moment Halloween ends. The
Happy Fall! It’s finally starting to look like Autumn around here despite temperatures in the low 90s. I’m over it. Since I have a few days off I decided it was a good time to sweat to death decorate the outdoors for Fall. I didn’t buy anything extra this year except for the ornamental grass for our door urns and a can of sample
Our bedroom is our favorite spot in the house . It’s our sacred place where we retreat to relax and enjoy each other. For that purpose, we don’t have a television in there. Our dresser was lacking some serious décor above it so a few months ago I built two photo ledges. Since then, I’ve been slowly (between night shifts and catching up on sleep)
