I’m starting early over here with Christmas gifts and I’ve teamed up with a fabulous group of bloggers to hopefully motivate you into DIYing a few gifts this year. I recently found out that my blogger BFF Amber was DIYing my gift so I followed suite and I’m DIYing hers. Since I’m going to see my gift when I read her blog today, I want her
I’ve been known to dumpster dive a time or two. I’ve also been known to take my neighbors trash not once, twice or even three times. I find pleasure in turning others trash into my treasures. The same goes with using up my scrap wood pile. I used small pieces I had left over from larger projects to create a plant stand for my snake
This post was is brought to you by JORD Wood Watches This weekend we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. Since both of us have been really busy with work and exhausted, we decided to stay local and celebrate. On Friday we went to Jason’s Deli for lunch. Nothing fancy but it’s my absolute favorite place to eat because they have the BEST salad bar and
When I started working on my office, I knew I needed a storage piece that would hold all of my craft supplies so naturally I headed to Ikea. When I purchased the shelf and desk it was called the Expedit but now it’s called Kallax. A lot of bloggers have this storage system because it holds a lot and can be styled so beautifully. I used
I’ve mentioned a few times here before that I have ADHD. While I used to think it was a curse, it really is a blessing. People with ADHD see the world differently than the average person and evidence shows that we are more creative than our peers.

Things are going a lot slower than I thought they would. I am hoping to be finished within the next week or so but I’ve run into a few issues during the ORC. Let’s discuss shall we? Problems Time. You may or may not know that I work in pediatrics. My days are long (12-14 hours) and although I only work three days a week (full time
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
This weekend I started on my dream closet again. I’ve been working on it for a while and it’s coming along but I’m not ready to share the entire project yet. 🙂 Here is what happened this weekend. I purchased new matching hangers. I chose the non-slip ones from Costco because 1. they were inexpensive ($10/35) and 2. I can’t stand when things slip off
Over his almost three years of life, Toby has acquired many collars and leashes. To keep things organized and cute, I put together this dog leash hook and it now lives in the entry closet underneath the stairs. I have quite a bit of scrap wood in the garage so instead of buying more, I decided to use what I had. I glued two pieces
First let me say that I am very grateful for everything that we have. With that said, if I could have a larger laundry room, that would be amazing. It’s just not functional. You may recall that Hubs built this lovely pedestal which provides storage and lift to the washer and dryer. As much as I love it, it’s just not functional for our small space. Yep,
