This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot. Having a yard isn't only about the work, it is about enjoying it too! Yes, the list of outdoor projects is long (check that list out here), but we want to make sure to make time for the good stuff. We did our planning with the Home Depot Garden Club (check out more on that here) and then went to Home Depot and grabbed everything we needed for spring, summer and fall to keep our yard in tip top shape (check that out here) and ...

Classroom Fingerprint Tree: Perfect Classroom Gift for Teacher Appreciation or the End of the Year
I don't spend my days in the classroom anymore, but once upon a time I was a teacher and this was the best week of the year. One of my favorite parts of teacher appreciation week were the heart-felt "gifts". I loved receiving letters from past and present students. I saved all of them. Those were the kind of things that reminded me my hard work and effort actually meant something. Today I am offering a fun way to thank a teacher for all they do. This is one the whole class can get in on ...
And Then There Was Bedding

Its All About the Hardware
My life is moving faster then I can write about it. We have been crazy busy and it just keeps going all the way up to d-day. This weekend we rearranged the living room, took a mini road trip to Ikea and I co-hosted a baby shower for my twin brother and his wife. I keep thinking, once I finish x we can slow down. And then a new project pops up. Today I want to talk about Eleanor's big girl room. I have a few more posts to share and one more project to finish, but Eleanor is sleeping up in her ...
Dressing Up the Walls In the Big Girl Room
Now that tearing out the carpeting, painting trim, painting walls, and putting down new carpeting are done, we can get to the fun part: DECORATING! This is my favorite part of any project. Putting a room together. I just want to say I am a bit sad about moving Eleanor out of her room, the nursery. We worked pretty hard to make it special. We wanted to incorporate as much of her former room as we could, without being married to it. The mirrors and the picture frames above the chair made ...
