I’ve been thinking I need to do a weekly KISS project (keep it simple stupid). It’s a good reminder for me that not every project needs to have 20 steps to complete, and challenges me to keep projects as simple as possible. Last week when I brought home a bunch of bargains from a thrift store grand re-opening, one of my purchases was this rustic bench. It’s super sturdy, has great wood, and I knew it wouldn’t take much effort to give {Read More}

Flea Market Finds
September 7, 2015 by 21 Comments
I got up bright and early last Saturday to hit the flea market with my husband, only to find my husband was already awake, but feeling lousy. We waited for awhile, but he still felt awful and went back to bed, but bless my oldest son’s heart – he went with me. I haven’t gone to a single flea market all summer, and I’d never been to this particular one, so I was pretty excited. He really wasn’t interested in {Read More}

Autumn will be here soon, so I have a pretty autumn printable for you. It’s an antique sheet music page, called “Breath of Autumn”, that came from a 1920’s magazine for musicians.

This post was sponsored by Perfect Linens. As if my lousy eyesight and crackling knees didn’t remind me on a daily basis that I’m getting older, my oldest son drove that point home for me today. We were riding in the car and he commented how much he liked the pair of jeans he was wearing. “They’re really comfortable, like jeggings- except they’re for guys.” he elaborated.
Worst Mom in the World Award (DIY Photo Blocks)
September 4, 2015 by 12 Comments
Show Off Your CUTE Kids Photo Blocks! I’m pretty sure I get the award for the worst mom in the history of mom’s who make scrapbooks filled with their kid’s photos. I discovered scrapbooking when my oldest 3 kids were fairly young, and was gung ho to make them each their own keepsake albums that they would treasure for years to come. I envisioned these albums getting passed down from generation to generation, so I loaded up on new albums, pretty papers, {Read More}

Remember how recently I was ranting and hating on thrift stores and most of you joined in my rant? Could you please have a memory lapse, and forget I said all that? Oh good! Let the forgetting begin… … So, last weekend one of our old thrift stores moved into a shiny new building, and they were stocked to their rafters with stuff for the grand re-opening. For the first time in quite some time, I found some good deals – in {Read More}
