It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of the spaces in our home with you so today I thought I’d share our powder room. This was the last time I shared photos of the space, in the fall of 2011 when I did a wild black and white zebra stencil. We made some minor […]

Taco Lasagna (Gluten Free)
Hi friends, Today I’m sharing a favorite recipe for our family. Since being gluten-free this past fall, I have had a hard time finding recipes for me and my family. Most of the time it’s me eating salad or rice/beans while they have a dinner that they enjoy. Gluten free noodles are available at Target, […]
Gray Kitchen Inspiration
It all started innocently enough. I was browsing pinterest when this pin from HGTV popped up in my feed. As soon as I saw it, I wanted my cabinets to be a dark gray even though I just painted them white not more than a year and half ago. So while I contemplate if I want […]
The Blooming Hydrangea blooms again
Hi friends, Spring is coming, I can just sense it in the air, can you? At one point in my life, Spring to me was just a muddy, brown, rainy season of transition that was in between winter and summer. Honestly, it was my least favorite season, just something to endure to get to summer. […]
No Spend February The End Results
Well friends, tomorrow is the end of NO Spend February and let’s just say, we are not going to finish strong. I’ve already been to the store no less than 3 times this week. Seriously. Kids and food are going to be the death of me or the budget, maybe both? I think our […]
No Spend February Week 2
Half way done with the No Spend Month and unfortunately it seems this NO Spend month has turned into just trying not to spend too much. While painting this week, I had to run and grab lunch a few times because being gluten free and working in a flip house, I didn’t have access to […]
The Dining Room in Progress
This past summer I had planned on a dining room makeover with my friend Leslie who was coming to visit me as we were getting rid of the nasty carpeting and having hardwood flooring installed, scraping off popcorn ceililng and getting new curtains and light fixture. Leslie couldn’t make it out and so I went ahead […]
No Spend February Week 1
Well, we made it through week one of NO Spend February. So far, we’ve done ok. I think lunches for the kids are what’s going to kill my budget a bit this month. On Sunday we went to the grocery store and purchased some skinny pop, granola bars and stuff for sandwiches. Most of my […]
No Spend February – Meal Planning & Food Inventory
This is our 2nd time doing a NO Spend month and last time we ended up saving $1200! Whoa! This time we are hoping to save even more but I’m not sure that’s possible as we’ve added in quite a bit since then as far as our budget, including a membership to our local Athletic […]
Faux Sharpie Herringbone Back Splash for $3
Last week we purchased some new appliances for our home after our microwave of 4 years died. We decided it was the right time to also purchase a gas range and dishwasher as those weren’t the best either. Don’t ask me about my Samsung kitchen appliances because I hated them and now we only have the […]
