Valentine’s Day has come and gone. It was a very festive time in our house. But in the midst of the busy schedule and endless to-do list we made time to appreciate the people in our lives that mean the most to us. Here’s a look at 3 events that we participated in last week.Continue reading “Valentine Recap”

Spirit Week Outfits
Last week was Spirit Week at the high school where I teach. My goal was to participate (as I always do) without spending ANY money on my outfits. It was so much fun to coordinate with the themes chosen by the Student Council. Below is a look at what I came up with each day.Continue reading “Spirit Week Outfits”
A Room Fit for a Princess
This spring our home project will be converting our daughter’s room into one fit for a princess. She has outgrown her toddler bed and many of her preferences are changing. We want to create a space for her that she loves and that caters to her personality. Over the weekend she and I spent timeContinue reading “A Room Fit for a Princess”
Re Purposed Crib
Convertible cribs are the best. You can’t beat three beds in one. Sadly, our daughter is nearing the end of stage three with her crib now functioning as a toddler bed. Her legs are growing and she has less and less space each night to toss and turn. Our plan has been to re-do herContinue reading “Re Purposed Crib”

Each year we like to buy one or two new pieces to add to our collection and we also enjoy decorating our front door. This year we decidedContinue reading “Holiday Door”
Autumn Air
Although the Autumn Equinox will not be until Thursday in Ohio there is something in the air that tells my body that autumn has already begun. Maybe it’s the football games, tailgates, pumpkin spice lattes, or sudden appearance of harvested corn everywhere that is informing me of the swift change of season. Whatever it might beContinue reading “Autumn Air”
Seasonal Blocks
I don’t get in crafty moods often, but when I do you better watch out. This weekend I decided to finish a DIY project I started over a year ago. This is something I saw at a craft show last Christmas and decided I would try to make for myself. It’s fairly simple and requiresContinue reading “Seasonal Blocks”
Cozy New Floor
A year and a half ago my husband and I signed over our lives to the idea of becoming first time homeowners. Neither of us are naturally “do-it-yourself” people so the prospect of being in charge of everything for the first time was a bit nerve-wracking. However, God had led us to our house andContinue reading “Cozy New Floor”
Scally on the Loose
This Christmas season has been exciting and full of surprises. Arianna is three and loving everything about Christmas preparations. She enjoys picking out presents for her family members. During the annual tree decorating she took charge and told us where to hang each of her special ornaments. Each day when I pick her up fromContinue reading “Scally on the Loose”
