October 8, 2019 by Kendra 5 Comments

Our new home has plenty of quirks. Some are fun and some are annoying and some simply need to be fixed. The closet in our basement was one such quirk. Our basement is nice and could be finished. If you were under 5 ft tall that is. A closet was put in our basement at some point, it was deeper than a regular closet with no light other than what came in through a small casement window. Ultimately it was […]

All opinions are mine alone. #SummerIsForSavings #CollectiveBias #WFM1 Not much is worse than hearing a “sploosh” and looking over to see your phone going swimming. While the obvious answer is to simply keep the phone away from water, that’s easier said than done. Just a few months ago, I bought a new phone on my Walmart Family Mobile monthly plan. It was time for […]

February 8, 2017 by Kendra 12 Comments

I recently created and hung a hand/heart string art creation in our room. When I was a child, my mom had these two string art sail boats that hung in the guest bedroom. Like Anne of Green Gables, I had a slight fascination with that room. It was always quiet and sort of mysterious in there. I would sneak in and look at the wall paper with the prints of gentlemen and ladies lounging under trees, strolling by the stream […]

The old dresser to toy shelves makeover

I love makeovers. Similar to the way we are made new in Christ, makeovers take something old and worm transforming it into a work of art. Thus my old dresser to toy shelves makeover.  Our current toy storage system was okay, but as little man grew, his toy supply did too. Something needed to change and given the small size of our house I wasn’t sure what to do. Until I got the idea to change an old dresser to […]

How to make shower spa bombs. Turn your showers into a mini spa day!

I’ve been seeing these shower spa bombs on Pinterest and really wanted to give them a try. They all seemed to have the same basic instructions, mix soda and water and dry. Time to give them a try! Some instructions said to mix the oils in with the soda water, others said to add the oils after drying the “pucks”. Some recipes said air dry for 24 hours, others said to dry in the oven. After a bit of experimentation […]

Burlap mason jars and fall. Cute mason jars with burlap for fall decor.

  I love fall! Did you hear that? I LOVE FALL!!! The weather becomes a little nicer and sleeping with windows open and a cool breeze whisking in is just about the most refreshing way to rest that I can think of. Especially with all the little night bugs singing their tunes. Another reason to love fall is the food! The crisp, sweet-tart smell of apples and the smooth rich smell of pumpkin. The apple tree did great this year […]

How to make solar powered mason jar lights with with string lighting. Beautiful outdoor mason jar lighting.

With fall coming on, for some reason I got it into my head that I wanted some “warm” outdoor lighting. I knew I wanted to make Mason Jar Lights but wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. Candles seemed neat but also very short-term. That’s when I got the idea to use string lights. It was perfect timing when a company asked me to review their solar-powered string lights on Amazon. I immediately knew I would use them, but had […]

If you’ve ever wanted a simple bible memorization trick, printed or written out verses placed around your house are the answer. Today I want to show you how easy it is to make your own printables. It’s best to choose graphics for this and not photos. Photos tend to take up far more ink and unless you have a professional printer, they never look as nice on paper as they do on your screen.

I am sharing How to Make a Tie Dye Tablecloth thanks to BluePrint Social and Tulip® #TieDyeYourSummer I’ve always thought shibori style dying was beautiful. But the work involved to get the indigo dye correct wasn’t appealing to me. Until the day I realized I could use tie dye to create beautiful shibori dyed fabrics. Tie dye is incredibly simple to use (seriously, just add water!)- and can be done with minimal mess. Since a certain little man’s first birthday […]

Creative air plant decorations to diy for gifts

There were a lot of confused people last week when I posted a photo of my to-do list on Instagram and one task simply said: “air plants”. People were wondering if “air plants” meant placing house plants outside. It made me chuckle. While I’m sure one could “air” their house plants, I was referring to my need to make my Creative Air Plant Decorations for Gifts. Air plants are in the Genus Tillandsia and there are over 500 species of […]

  Something about spring makes me want to grow things. I don’t know if it’s the siren-smell of coming-to-life dirt, or what it is. But spring is the one time I like to dig my hands down into the earth and plant gardens and flower beds. It’s also when my creative juices like sap, flow fast and free. Bubbling up and out into amazing ideas. Like my pallet planter for butterflies. Because just having pretty flowers this year wasn’t good […]
