With Memorial Day coming up soon, many of you probably have fun holiday gatherings planned. Whether you are hosting a party, or attending one, these three patriotic treats are incredibly easy to make and are sure to add a bit of festive flair to any gathering. Those who know me, know that I have a pretty fierce sweet tooth. My mom loves to bake, and so there were always amazing, homemade treats around when I was growing up. Actually, there are still always amazing treats around at my parents house. Well, at least for me there are... My parents live two states away, and my dad always complains that the only time he ever gets homemade pies or cakes or cookies is when we come to visit. Ha! While I definitely enjoy baking myself, sometimes (especially ... View Post
DIY Little Girl Hair Bow Holder
Hello, friends. I'm back with another simple DIY decor project that I've put together for my daughter's room. An adorable hair bow holder. From the time her hair was long enough to hold a bow, I've enjoyed putting them on her. I'm a girly girl and just can't resist all of the pink and frills and accessories that come with a little girl. She would never tolerate a full headband, or head wrap, for long, but the bows always stayed put. It is even to the point now that she pretty much insists on having a bow in her hair at all times. The minute I put a rubber band in her hair, she reaches up to touch it and says, "Bow?" So, we always make sure to put a bow in her hair. Needless to say, we have a fair amount of bows around our house. ... View Post
30 Things You May Not Know About Me
Today is my birthday, and I thought it would be fun to create a list of random things that many people may not know about me. Now, I wish I could say that this is 30 things for my 30th birthday, but alas, I am a bit past 30. I knew that coming up with a list of 30 would be hard enough, though, and I figure we need to leave a little mystery behind the blogger. You feel me? :D So, here goes nothing. I've always been somewhat anti-technology/social media. (Blogging makes perfect sense, then, doesn't it?!) I have gotten better about it in recent years, but the world of blogging has had a very sharp learning curve for me. I fractured my pinky finger in elementary school (5th grade maybe?) playing kickball with my cousin. It's the ... View Post
How to Make a Ribbon Mobile
I'm so excited to show you this little ribbon mobile today! I wasn't entirely sure how it was going to turn out, but I am absolutely loving the finished product. AND, big bonus, it was super easy to make. We are currently in the process of moving my daughter into a new bedroom. We have decided to put the new baby into the room that my daughter has occupied for the last 2 years, and move her into a larger "big girl" bedroom. Last weekend, we moved all her furniture over, and much to my relief, she is loving her new room. (Click here to see the full room reveal.) Phew! And now, I have started in on the best part - the decorating! I have a number of easy DIY decor ideas that I'm planning for her new room. Trying ... View Post
How to Design and Customize Your Master Closet
Last week, I revealed our newly renovated and customized master closet. Click here to see. After gutting the original closet, which was dull, dingy, and unorganized, we used the IKEA Pax system to turn it into something beautiful and functional. I had someone ask about the process that I used to design it. How did I piece it all together? How did I come up with the design? I thought it was a fantastic question, and I realized that it was actually quite a process to put it together. So, I thought I walk you through how I was able to design and customize my master closet. Find Some Inspiration The first thing I did was look around (mostly on Pinterest) at photos of various closets in order to get an idea of what I liked. I wasn't worried ... View Post
Master Closet Makeover
I finally have my master closet makeover reveal ready for you! We ran into a couple of issues that held us up a bit longer than I had hoped - one item was out of stock for awhile, and shipment was delayed on another item due to an error. But....it's finally finished, and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out! (This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, or read my full disclosure, click here.) Let's start with a brief (very brief) tour of the 'before,' shall we? I have been wanting to redo this closet for a couple of years now, and it won't be hard to see why. I'm guessing that this closet hadn't been touched since the house was built in the 1960s. There were two clothing bars that ran the length of the closet on either side. Two ... View Post
