Dining Room Wall Makeover

Written by

I have been adding and changing and adding and changing things in this dining room since the day we moved in. Literally. I just didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted it to be. I kept trying different ideas and then changing them a few weeks later. I think I can finally say that I am getting

It's week 7 of Stop and Smell the Roses! This week I'm sharing two of my favorite beauty products that I have been using since college! I wish I could say college was yesterday. Pssst. More like yesterday times 2,920 days. Do the math. It's a good 8 years. More like 10 if I start from freshman

One of my favorite personal finance blogs (besides my husband's), Get Rich Slowly, has an annual video contest. In years past I have really enjoyed watching all the entries! I've also gotten some really great personal finance tips too! This year, since I have been doing more videos, I thought it

Remember how I told you about our new basketball goal? Well, what I didn't tell you?  It may have taken my husband an entire Saturday to put it together. I always love when he decides that he wants to start a project like this because it's VERY rare folks. VERY VERY rare. I've told you once and

It's been a constant egg hunt here at our house. Between the 59 eggs that the bunny hid here and the 80+ he hid at Gigi and Poppy's...the kids are on a major chocolate high. Hope your Easter is as hyper as mine.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I fully expect the Easter bunny to bring me about 20 bags of these. You hear that Easter bunny? Ask my college roommate and she will tell you that during the month of March and April I lived off Cadbury Mini Eggs. Literally, breakfast, lunch, and dinner all consisted

It's week 6 of Stop and Smell the Roses! Two things: 1. I feel like I am becoming more comfortable just talking behind the camera. What about you guys? Are you feeling less freaked out each week to film yourself? 2. This is the first week that I decided to film a vlog straight out of bed! I may

I quit my full time job nearly 4 months ago to work for my husband. One of the things that my hubby needed help with immediately when I started...editing videos for his websites.

If you are my neighbor and you're offended when my children are running around in the yard pants-less...BEWARE...they will now pee in your grass. I promise. A big fat pinky promise to be exact. And I'd like to say that I will be that mom that will chase them down and say "Absolutely not boys. You
