How to Have a Fresh Smelling Home without Toxins!

December 3, 2019 by Kendra 5 Comments

We all want a fresh-smelling home without toxins. But how?!? During the winter months, our homes often began to get a stale smell. And if all the ads are to be believed, now is when you need to run out and grab an air freshener stat! What advertisers DON’T tell you is that their fancy “smell-good” products are filled with fragrances that are anything but safe and natural. The fragrances release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which are linked to various […]

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 […]

June 19, 2015 by Kendra 13 Comments

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 found all the graphics for […]

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 […]

The busy mom's guide to an inviting home. how to enjoy walking in your front door instead of wanting to run from the mess.

Ever walked into your home, saw the mess and wanted to go hide under your sheets? Yeah, me too. But I have a system for creating a home that is welcoming instead of repulsing. Today I’m sharing the busy mom’s guide to an inviting home. Creating an inviting home doesn’t require a huge cleaning spree, nor do you need to spend a ton of money. Instead, you must spend a little time each day to insure a home that welcomes […]

Welcome spring to your home with this simple doorhanger with spring wood surfaces from Michaels. #madewithmichaels #plaidcrafts

I wrote Welcome Spring to Your Home as part of a paid campaign with Plaid Crafts, Michaels, and Blueprint Social. The opinions in this post are my own. I know the Christmas is just past, and we aren’t hardly through the month of January. I also know that we have many many cold winter days ahead of us. But that doesn’t stop me from thinking about spring. I created a fun project last week using the new Spring Wood Surfaces […]

Simple and Cheap Gift Wrap

April 26, 2014 by Kendra Leave a Comment

Simple and cheap gift wrap is surprisingly easy. Besides, who would believe I got half the supplies for free?!?!

Today I wanted to show you my simple and cheap gift wrap. We have used the funnies from the Sunday comics to wrap birthday presents for years. But the comics aren’t exactly classy enough for some occasions. Sometime last year I came upon a great idea for baby shower gifts and for weddings too. It was as simple as tissue paper and ribbons. Because I’m a (sometimes) crafter, ribbons are found in plenty around our house.  As well, I buy […]

Scripture Filled Home ~Creatively Bring God’s Word to Life!

Creative ways to have a scripture filled home

Is your home a scripture filled home? Yes, no? Personally, I like to see God’s word in my home. Deuteronomy commands us to write God’s word upon our door posts and gates. Why do you suppose that is? Here’s my guess: When scriptures are continually before our eyes; they become “written upon our hearts”. Having bible verses, out where we can see them daily reminds us of his love, of what he wants from his children, of who he is, […]

I’ve been promising baby room pictures for over a month now. Yes, I know, I’m slow here. 😉 But it’s finally looking like something and I’m excited to share how we’re setting up a baby nursery with yellow and grey! I painted the walls of that little room a cheery yellow over 5 years ago and it was wonderful for a playroom. Especially with some Winnie the Pooh pictures. But I was sick of Winnie the Pooh and wanted something […]

How to create large canvas art with cheap canvas boards and regular prints.

Lately I’ve been impressed with large canvas art. Whether it be photos, or paintings, something about canvas art just seems to give a room a bit of class. The room in particular need was our bedroom. Really, it looked pretty nice. But there was one wall that I had stuck one of those photo boards with ribbons on it and slid some photos of hubby and I in it. It worked, but it was boring, and I really needed that […]

Then she put a verse from the Song Of Solomon on it and printed it for me. So pretty and springy, […]

Changing out the bedroom decor With the coming of winter I changed the quilts and covers on our bed. That also meant changing curtains and decor because the summer quilt is browns and reds while the winter one is tan and green. For winter I always add a little plum to bring in some color. I had to take down my red and brown store bought decor box, and started looking for something to replace them. I forget what I […]
