OK. So I have a cute and super simple DIY project that I’m going to show you, but you have to promise not to laugh… cause it involves looking inside my fridge. Recently, I saw an idea to create fridge mats out of place mats you can buy at Target. I was so excited to…
I’m one of those people who loves to set goals. So, every Jan. 1, I sit down and write out my goals for the year. A few weeks later, like most people, I have already started going back to my old habits and losing track of whatever goals I set. This year, I decided to…
I always love getting a “toy” on Christmas morning, and this year I got just about the greatest toy a crafty mom could ask for! A few people have asked me to explain this thing of wonder, known as the Silhouette, so I thought I would write a few blog posts about what I’ve been…

It’s the first day of summer break! We’ve been counting down to this day for months! And yet, I will admit, I’ve also secretly been a little nervous about starting our summer fun. After sending our three kids back to school this past year, the transition to having all four of them home everyday is…
Now that I’m almost finished with the office half of my office/laundry room, it was time to tackle the laundry space. I have been admiring a lot of laundry room organization ideas that used cute bins to store all of the detergents and cleaners in the laundry room. Every time I thought about doing this,…
I made some great progress on my office over the weekend! I spent about four hours on Saturday (LITERALLY!) combing through the IKEA catalog and web site and doing complex mathematical equations to try to figure out what combination of desks and storage solutions would fit into my space. If you have ever tried doing…
