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 …
Not too long ago, I wrote a post about a simple redesign of the hall closet that has really worked for us. I took out the hanging rod and put up command hooks for coats, added some baskets for seasonal stuff and the closet became way more functional. A couple of weeks ago I also …
Don’t worry, I haven’t already given up on the #31days challenge. I’ve been working on some cute pumpkins and I wanted to share them in a quick post.

I looked for inspiration last week in this post and I definitely pulled a lot of elements from what I found. Isn’t she a beauty? I love the feathers. …
Don’t look at this picture if you are in a setting where you are supposed to be quiet or solemn or reserved.
If at first you don’t succeed, fail a little less the next time. Tonight I gave String Art a second try. I’m happier, but not quite there yet. After my initial attempt, I did some more searches and I found a picture of a free form string art in a little boys room. For some …
I did it. I made the plunge. I guess plunge isn’t really the right word for it since it’s taken me weeks to go from purchasing a self hosted domain (I don’t even know if that’s how you phrase that) to actually writing my first post on my very own site. No more .wordpress.com for …
I’ve seen string art all over the place. I think it looks really cool and colorful and dimensional. My favorite is this one from Bigger Than the Three of Us: I wanted to give it a try, but on a smaller scale. I still have a ton of pieces of parquet flooring, so I …
