I was lucky enough to get to rock some of Jen Hadfield's Home + Made line (Tatertots & Jello). I guest posted over there, doing my own little Anthro inspired recipe box. If you didn't catch it over at Tatertots & Jello, I will be posting the details soon. I got a nice little box of goodies to create with. The recipe box, of course, inspired these printable recipe cards. That, of course inspired, these printable recipe cards for marriage. Perfect for a wedding shower or to include ...

I'll share those projects at the bottom of the post. The rocks were gathered by my children at the beach. You technically only need ...
TV Credenza Makeover
This post brought to you by Faultless/Bon Ami Company . The content and opinions expressed below are that of Balancing Home. I hate ironing, therefore I love starch. Anything to get the job done quicker and keep it crisper longer. Starch isn't just for ironing! I used starch to hang some gold polka-dot burlap fabric along the back of our TV credenza.
