I feel so on top of things! I made presents MONTHS in advance!!I have had this book for probably 3-4 years now and I have NEVER used it! It's horrible, I know. Every now and then I would thumb through it and look at all the pretty projects but I neve... - Simple Princess Skirt

My daughter is SO girly! I wanted to make her a cute skirt for her birthday and when I saw this princess fabric, I knew she'd love it...and she did! Not only does she like princesses but she loves skirts and tutus. I knew this would be a win-win comb... - Art Birthday Party (on a budget!)

on Feb 11, 2015
My oldest kid is in kindergarten so I'm new to the whole teacher-parent relationship. I gave his teacher & the teacher's assistant a Christmas gift so I thought why not get them a Valentine's gift? Nothing big or crazy but I think showing them so... - Saving and Spending Jars for Kids

Have you heard of Dave Ramsey? He's basically a Christian financial guru. He has this program called Financial Peace University. You learn how to manage money, pay off debts, save, buy a house, etc., in his program and I'm currently enrolled. It's am... - XOXO Garland

I know it's not even February yet but once it is February, I have a birthday to be thinking about and won't be thinking a lot about Valentine's day. SO I decided I would spruce up my mantel now because if I don't do it now it wouldn't get done. - How to Maximize a Small Entryway

I decided to tackle an area in my rental in hopes to make the space cuter and more functional. It's hard living in a 1400-square space with 3 kids because it means space is limited. One area in the house that was driving me nuts because of the lack o... - Batman Tooth Fairy Pillow
on Jan 14, 2015
My oldest son just lost his first tooth and I'll admit I had mixed emotions. I was excited for him but sad that he's growing up so quickly. When I told my mom that his tooth was wiggly, she offered to make a pillow to put his tooth in for the tooth f... - Home Sweet Home Cross Stitch

Holy Moly! It's almost been a whole year since I last posted on my blog. What a slacker. BUT to be fair, I was teaching preschool and had a baby last year, so I was a tad bit busy. Anyway, one of my goals for the new year is to jump back into De... - Luke's Pirate Birthday Party

My son is OBSESSED with pirates! I knew exactly what his party theme was going to be this year. The walkway up to the front door...like a little map!Once they got in there was a pirate banner (from Target) and a pirate flag (made by me).The firs... - Pirate Birthday Invitations

My little 4-year-old boy is obsessed with all things pirate. So when thinking about his upcoming birthday party, the theme was a no brainer.I bought some brown kraft scrapbook paper and cut it down to the size I wanted (8.5 x 11). I made the design o... - Mini Pallet Valentine Art

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted a project! My life seems so hectic these days! I have my two kids' birthdays coming up so I'll be posting about that soon. But in the meantime, Valentine's Day is coming up! I don't know about you... - Portable Growth Chart

A little while ago, I was approached by a representative from Icon Wall Stickers. They wanted me to review a wall decal and I was so excited. My only problem is that I live in a rental. Which means I would have to take my pretty decal off when I leav... - Halloween Neighbor Gift
on Sep 29, 2013
Halloween time isn't really known for gift giving, but I feel like Halloween kind of kicks off the holiday season. First it's Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas... so why not celebrate the start of the holiday season than with giving a gift... - How to Cut Burlap (without making a HUGE mess)
on Sep 12, 2013
I recently learned how to cut burlap and it kind of blew my mind. I HAD to share it, because it is just so awesome! I love the way burlap looks but I don't use it a whole lot. Reason? It's messy. Like, really messy. But recently I learned ho... - Colorful Chevron Quilt
on Sep 4, 2013
It must be baby season! This is the second chevron baby quilt I've made recently. I also have 2 sisters-in-law that are either pregnant or recently had a baby. I must not have caught baby fever. Not yet, at least ;) With that being said, I don't t... - Introducing...CafePress!

One of my good friends is expecting a baby boy in just a couple of weeks and so I made her a baby quilt for when her little guy decides to make his appearance (she's pretty pumped to be done with this pregnancy!). She picked out the colo... - A Cinderella Rocking Chair Story
on Aug 10, 2013
Once upon a time I bought an ugly rocking chair from a consignment sale. It was only $25! How could I pass that up?! It was beat up and unappreciated (probably) and the fabric was just...ick. So I took it under my lil wing and decided to mak...
