I finally got the stripes I always wanted. I wanted to paint these bad boys back when I was six months pregnant with Eleanor, but my husband thought I was CRUH-azy. I was and I still am. Craziness prevails. My favorite thing about Eleanor's room (which is true for much of our house) is that her room is almost completely DIY/handmade and if it was bought it was most likely altered in some way. All except those darn IKEA dressers. There are a few projects in her room I haven't shared yet, so I ...

Back When a Police Officer Escorted Me Out…
Did I ever tell you about the time I was escorted out of a H.S. basketball game by a police officer? Yup, this girl, right here. Me and my sidekick Kate. Honor Roll, Student Government, AP Classes, CC Captain, Athlete and SUSPECTED rule breaker.

Our basketball team had made it to Regional or Sectional play. I don't know which, but I ...

I Thought You Should Know…
I honestly cannot tell you what drove me to start this blog. I had already picked a name and half tried once before, gotten frustrated and given up. Then my sister was moving to Georgia and starting a blog, I had just had a baby and was staying home and it just seemed like the perfect time to give it a try. So I dove right in with no clue of what I was doing. I didn't know what a widget was. In fact, I kept referring to it as a gadget when I was talking to Ross. Anytime I asked him for help, I ...
Customized Kitchen Counter Herb Garden
Did you all know Walmart has a pretty stocked craft aisle? Everything it took to pull off my herb garden can be found at Walmart, including all these goodies from Plaid (<-- Click here and show some love). Craft supplies at Walmart is a super big deal, because if you are a mommy crafter it seems like the only time you ever have to run out and get this kind of stuff is after everything is closed. Walmart is open 24 hours, so you always have crafting essentials on hand. Very sweet. I ...
