This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine. I have never pretended to have a green thumb, but what I can say is that I give it a good try.  Case in point, our landscaping project from last year. We spent so much time killing off plants in that area, I [...]

Like many, my house is a work in progress.  We’ve lived in our house for close to two years and I feel like my home project list is continually growing.  One room that needs a lot of love is my kitchen.  The transformation all started with an awesome oak pedestal table from Craigslist that I [...]

TrayAfter

I really can’t say enough about Pinterest.  It has open my world to so many craft ideas, recipes, home remodel ideas, fashion…you get the point.  One easy project I pinned awhile ago was adding a little flair to a basic wooden serving tray like this one.

How many of you menu plan for the week?  I’ve always made a great effort in the past to do this.  I would consider Sunday as the day to plan out meals and go grocery shopping for the week.  This usually would last for a week and then we were back into our old habit [...]

A few months ago, I started unsubscribing to the many daily deal emails that I received.  It got to the point where it was so overwhelming that I couldn’t keep up and ended up just deleting them.  I now only receive about four or five which include local deals & steals, kid stuff, mommy stuff, and my [...]
