One of my most cherished times of the day is bedtime. Since the girls were little, I have always read to them at night. Since they are 2 years apart with different interests, I read to them separately. For my oldest, the Nancy Drew series has been our favorite for...

I love making cupcakes for birthday parties, holidays or any occasion for that matter, but I’ve always had a challenge transporting decorated cupcakes to school. A couple years ago, I had what I thought was a great cupcake carrier. Trying to balance a gazillion...

Looking for a way to display your dried rose petals? After my daughter was a flower girl in our friend’s wedding last summer, she wanted to save the rose petals in her basket. We decided to press them and display them in a frame that she could hang in her...

It doesn’t stay cold for long here in Texas, but I had to do something with the piles of coats we have accumulated. Since I transformed our coat closet into a game closet, I had to make room somewhere else for the coats. We had some unused wall space in the...

We had such a fun girls/kids weekend while the guys were in Austin for the Longhorns’ game. The kids played and the mommas crafted. This year we decided to make wreaths. Since we’re all about football this time of year, here’s what I came up with...

This summer I realized that we would need a spot for our soon-to-be kindergartener to hang her backpack each day. I fell in love with this idea on Pinterest and had to create my own version. I moved our art wall and made space for this in our kitchen. I saved a lot...

In our house, morning meltdowns occur when a sweet little 5-year-old doesn’t like the outfit that mommy picks out for her to wear to school. Or, when mommy requires that the outfit be long sleeves and pants. This kid would wear a skirt and t-shirt through the...

I realized tonight that I’ve neglected my blog for over a month! Yikes! The end of the summer was full of projects and short vacations. School started and it’s been hectic ever since. I have managed to squeeze in a few creative projects along the way...

I had been looking for a hat rack for my husband when I came across this idea (via Pinterest, of course). It’s functional and decorative. I tried to hang them like the original idea, but I couldn’t get it to work. Plus, they stuck out pretty far from...

I recently updated my craft area in our laundry room. I added hooks along the wall to make laundry time easier. The last step was finding a way to control all of the loose hangers. I used another Bygel rail from Ikea and hung it underneath our cabinet. It keeps the...

I have finally completed my craft area transformation. I have a spot in the laundry room for my craft supplies. I was using a large cabinet to store everything but couldn’t keep it organized. Things were piled on top of each other and it was hard to find what...

I have been so busy lately that I can’t seem to remember to take everything with me when we hop in the car. This dry erase board has come in so handy. I added a little vinyl lettering and attached a ribbon to dress up a plain dry erase board. It hangs on our...

One thing I can’t stand is parts from toys and games tossed (and lost) throughout the house. A while back I started organizing toys into containers. They are stored high enough that the girls must ask to get them down. They play with cooking stuff or playdoh...
