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…

These would be perfect as a vase filler or even scattered on a pretty plate surrounding a candle. And you only need 3 things: Pinecones Paintbrush Glitter Mod…

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
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. Well, maybe that’s a slight…

Well, Isn’t That Special…
So, I was browsing online the other day and happened to come across this ad… See that ad from Joss & Main for those yellow chevron pillow covers? Yep, I made ’em. All by my little non-seamstress-y self. It was easy. You can do it too. Boy, it feels good to do something by yourself,…

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
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!
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…

Ballard-Inspired Rock Mirror
I hinted on Monday that I had something up my sleeve inspired by this magazine: As soon as it came in the mail, I knew what I was going to do during my kids’ nap time. I sat down with a pen and began studying. Do you ever do that? If you have trouble finding…

Flower Power
Hello all! Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was swell. I had a fun weekend – especially on Saturday. I woke up and told my hubby I wished the smell of bacon, eggs, and biscuits would come wafting down the hallway. He said, “fat chance of that happening.” 😉 But then I remembered we had a…

$1.62 Wall Art
Wow – it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything in the area of home decor! I definitely loved our time in the 31 Days of Building Your Marriage series, but it is kinda nice to get back in the swing of things. 🙂 I guess I’ve never shown you any pics of my…
