My girls have been memorizing scripture since they were first able to talk. Of course, we could barely understand what they said with their sweet little lisps, but they sure could recite a mile a minute! Sometimes I think we underestimate the minds and ability of our littlest ones. Reading, memorizing, and understanding scripture stretches […]
Scrapbook Paper Art
My friend ‘L’ made these fantastic little Scrapbook Paper art canvasses for my daughters room.I loved the idea of something so simple, yet so cute as art for a child’s room. Doesn’t it remind you of a hanging patchwork quilt? Creating this art is easy as pie, and maybe just as delicious! I may not have […]
Task & Reminder Board
We often have a thousand different thoughts and to-do’s crowding our mind, and sometimes keeping track of what needs to be done can prove to be a challenge. Can you say multitask? I can’t, some of us do it better than others, as for me… well let’s just say “challenge” doesn’t begin to cut it. […]
Vintage Fan Fake-out
As a general rule I hate fans, most of them are just plain ‘ole ugly. Ugly ceiling fans, ugly table top fans, ugly floor fans, you name it, yeah we have it.Why? Because we’re cheap, cheap cheap cheap. That means we don’t tend to run the air conditioner in the summer, we just use our […]
Laundry Room Before & After
Mustard. Yes, I think of a big mustard stain when I look at my laundry wall. Not a pretty buttery yellow, just an unfortunate splotch of mustard…I feel this is just too ironic for a laundry room! First on my list of to-do’s is a nice coat of paint. I love small rooms, it’s a great opportunity to use colors […]
Hooks For Storage & Display
“Display what you love most…” I read this in a home decor magazine and it really stuck with me. Instead of trying to create a “look” for your decor, just display the items you love… the things that most reflect you. Well, I don’t know that my fedora collection reflects who I am, but […]
Organizing Le Havre the Tabletop Game
Le Havre was the very first Eurogame I set out to organize. These games are amazing and took me from non-gamer to certifiable tabletop board game geek! I am usually satisfied with placing game pieces in mini craft bags, but setting up this particular game takes as long as the game itself! Well, maybe that’s […]
Warranty & Manual Storage
I fear my office space. Seriously, I think my mountain of papers are out to get me. I’ve decided to take this task one small project at a time, or maybe I’ll just leave the boxes of mystery papers on my husbands doorstep with a note and run away (metaphorically speaking of course, as we […]
Cleaning Checklists
I am SO glad I thought to put these little checklists together. Nothing gets old faster than hearing “mom, do I have to clean the sink too?”, “mom, is this hall a part of the entryway?”, “mom, is it good enough yet?”…yep, something had to be done. I quickly (and a little frantically) typed up […]
Spice Cabinet
I have the messiest spices in my cupboard. It’s a good thing the insides are a natural wood color, because my turmeric would have made them yellow either way. My spice & seasoning storage has annoyed me for the last time! I can’t find anything, I have spice redundancies, I tend to use the same […]
