Welcome to my Thrifted Winter Wonderland! In between home projects and Christmas activities, I was able to squeeze in a little bit of time to create this little glittered village made from thrifted birdhouses. It was so easy and fun to do, let me show you how I did it.
Giving an apple to your teacher to show appreciation is an old tradition. When I came across a bunch of wooden apple bowls at my local Goodwill, I knew they would be perfect as gifts for my children’s teachers for Christmas. 
We have hosted some amazing parties at our house. We have had an Ice Cream Social, a Mexican Fiesta, and a Nerf Gun Party. A few weeks ago we had a Camping Party for my youngest son, Stephen, who was turning 5. Traditionally we host a huge party when each child turns 5, 10, and 15. This has been a huge success and a sense of excitement for all of our children, and this year was no exception.
The majority of the furnishings in my home have been painted at one time or another. Every once and a while, I choose to leave something as is, shocking, I know. Such is the case with my little green cart.
Hello everyone, I hope you all had an enjoyable summer! I would like to think that this has been one of the more enjoyable summers by far. I don’t know if it is because the kids are older or if I am just learning to sit and just enjoy the time we spend together. Our days were filled with trips to the pool, swimming lessons, cookouts and home projects. This is my Summer Progress Report so to speak, to give you a glimpse of what we have been working on and why I have been MIA these past few months.
If you prefer modernism, impressionism or abstract, there is art out there for everyone…..in your local thrift store or consignment shop. Personally, I don’t have a favorite, as long as it puts a smile on my face, and doesn’t cost a fortune, I love it. Recently, I have had great luck finding art at my local secondhand stores and wanted to show you an easy way to makeover thrifted art.
Hello Friends! Sorry for my absence last week, between making room for my treasures from Tour de Junk 2016, and everyday mom responsibilities, I wasn’t able to squeeze in the time to write.
We have been living in our home 6 years now, and I wanted to share how we live in a construction zone, just in case any of you are crazy enough to do it.
So this week has been a busy one for me. I have been reporting every day on the phenom that is Citywide Cleanup, or what I like to call Tour de Junk 2016.
