I had our monthly Girl Scout Meeting this past weekend and I wanted to do something sort of Thanksgiving themed. All of the Thanksgiving crafts I found were a little immature for ten year olds, so I settled on these adorable Native American Inspired Dream Catchers. They satisfied my self imposed Girl Scout craft rules …

Sometimes I get down on myself because I have never come up with an original craft in my life. I end up doing a lot of copy cat crafts. Ok? I admit. If there is no support group for this, I think I should start one. Who’s with me? Here’s the thing though that I …
I’m getting ready for Thanksgiving. I know, everyone else in blogland is getting ready for Christmas already. But I really love Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday. I love the food and the not having to buy presents. And family time, too. But mostly the food. This year I am going to try for a gluten …
I’m obsessed with these little felted wool woodland creatures that pop up in my Pinterest feed. They are so adorable and they look like they take some serious artistic talents, so I’m not about to attempt one of those (not yet, anyway!).

I made some healthy Halloween snacks. Creepy Apple Smiles that I found here: These are apple slices, some yogurt …
The goal today was to organize the car, but, here in the Northeast, the weather has been nasty. Which means, I’m taking today as one of the off days in the Organized Home in 30 Days Challenge. Instead, I’m going to talk about how our family (tries to) organize our finances. We have a very …
This one is tough for me. I’m not really a keepsake person. I guess I’m not very sentimental. But, I get it. Mementos of moments in time that are important. I’ve kept some of my kids baby clothes. I still have my high school gymnastics team leotard tucked in a drawer. I have a shirt …
Today’s task in the Organize Your Home in 31 Days challenge was to organize your books. So I did: There. Three books organized. I don’t have many actual books anymore; I absolutely adore reading electronically. That was a quick post, right? Oh, what’s that? You’re curious about that Map Accent Wall? Why, I’d love to …
