I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consultingfor Elmer’s. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. While I was away on a business trip my daughter went to stay with her grandparents. Because of scheduling conflicts she ended up being away for 6 whole days. I knew that when she got home she was going to need some special one on one time with mommy. To be honest I needed that time with her too. … [Read more...]

When I was pregnant with my daughter we were living in an apartment so I couldn't do a lot of painting in the nursery. In order to decorate I used a lot of artwork and some DIY projects. I wish I had thought of creating my own mobile instead of the one we bought. It matched her bedding perfectly but lacked imagination unlike these awesome DIY baby mobiles. They're made of everything from felt, card stock and paint chips to sewn fabrics, sewing hoops and wooden wreaths. It almost … [Read more...]

My Danze Faucet is A Little Quirky, A Lot of Luxe When we first moved into our house 2 years ago it had to be completely gutted. We were first time home owners with grand plans, a tiny budget and no experience. Fortunately my father had built a few houses in his day and he guided us along the way. Unfortunately even his advice and help didn't keep us from creating a few DIY disasters. A few of which occurred in our kitchen. The biggest eye soar was our cabinenets. We stained them ourselves … [Read more...]
I don't know about your family but mine is BUSY. Between school, work, family, bills, social events and doctors appointments I had a hard time keeping track of it all in my iPhone. Hence, I decided I needed a calender but I hate just hanging a calender on the wall so of course I needed something functional and pleasing to look at for the kitchen wall it was going on. This is what I created after a trip to Walmart, $30, and an hour of work later! Materials: 36x24 Cork Bulletin Board - I … [Read more...]
