It’s inevitable. If you actually live in your house, your walls are going to get scratched, chipped, dinged and paint scuffed off. It’s been 7 years since we moved into this house with all it’s freshly painted walls so today I’m sharing how to touch up wall paint years after it was originally painted. Why just touch up? Well, I’m not that big a fan of painting so if I can patch and repair a few places before doing a […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
