  • my new pallet shelf

    my new pallet shelf

    I teased you in January that we had a bit of a DIY project in the works. Without further ado, meet my new pallet shelf: I was completely inspired by this picture from Ana White and thought I could make this with actual pallets because hello…free wood. When I mentioned the idea to Jonathan, he was somewhat…

    Inspired by Pallets {Friday Faves}

      Hey guys! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day yesterday. We decided not to go out to eat yesterday and instead participated in a free 5K put on by one of the local running stores. We’re hoping to go out on a date tomorrow night, so we decided to have a fun family night…

  • DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice

    DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice

    Tis’ the season for pumpkin. And lots of it. Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Chip Bars, Pumpkin Spice coffee creamer (like I was drinking yesterday), Pumpkin Butter, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins… Many of these items call for a certain ingredient called “Pumpkin Pie Spice.” It’s sold in eensy-weensy containers for a gajillion bucks.

    Mrs. Meyer’s On the Cheap

    I think it was about a year ago when I first heard of Mrs. Meyer’s. Maybe it was from Nester. I can’t remember. All I know is that I was convinced I had to sniff her cleaning products the next time I went to Target. Then last year I had a life-changing experience when I…

  • Me: 1 / Sewing Machine: 0

    Me: 1 / Sewing Machine: 0

    My sewing machine and I have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I love it. Other times I hate it. Sorta like my relationship with my workout DVDs. Anyway, I’m currently on good terms with my sewing machine and that’s because of these puppies: Yep. Many moons ago I showed you the curtains I made for my…

  • I’m a Big Sister!

    I’m a Big Sister!

    Well, no… actually, I’m not. In fact, I’m the youngest. But that’s beside the point. And no, I’m not having another baby. This is a onesie I made for my little girl when I found out I was expecting little dude. I took a pregnancy test in the morning, dressed my little girl in this…
