It is that commonly known time of the year when runny noses are a part of day-to-day life and coughs are becoming all too familiar. When little children are running around with faucet noses, it’s vital to have tissues close by to wipe noses – and their by-products – quickly, am I right!? However, standard […]
Shelves, Please!

I’ve been on an organizing frenzy lately, which I cannot blame on pregnancy hormones this time around. Storage and organization can be challenging when living in a 700 square-foot home. My usual remedy to an organizing kick is to clean out our three closets and kitchen cabinets, but less things have been turning up in […]
Small Change, Big Impact

Our home is no stranger to Bible verses; there are a few framed in our living room and in the children’s shared room. Our refrigerator even sported small handwritten verses haphazardly placed, which weren’t the best looking and were hard to read. Since our refrigerator can be seen from almost any angle in our living […]
Window Shopping at General Store

Have you guys heard of General Store? I hadn’t until a week ago and since then, I’m hooked. I love their collection of simple yet interesting products. Mostly everything has a natural tone with varying textures, which I’ve been really gravitating towards lately. It’s hard not to get lost in their catalog! Here are some […]
Love is Binary

My husband and I tend to keep Valentine’s day low-key, which I personally prefer to a crowded restaurant – I’ve come to appreciate the simplicity and stillness of nights spent in. To carry out that motif of simplicity, I threw together this printable of the word “love” in binary for my computer proficient husband. I […]
DIY Clay Bead Necklace

I’m always keeping an eye out for simple accessories to add color to my wardrobe so I knew I found something great once I came across this necklace. The price wasn’t exactly speaking to my frugal wallet, therefore I made one using air dry clay that I had leftover from December’s Whimseybox. To make your […]
Color Crush: Coral & Mint

Recently I’ve been drawn to shades of mint and coral; both separately and in combination. It can be tough to find the right hue of both colors but when you do, they sure are pretty to look at. Here are some coral and mint items I have been eyeing lately. 1. I’ve had this vintage […]
December Thrift Store Finds
December was a borderline chaotic month and that all seems to be spilling over into January. Chaos, though, is a good reminder that life isn’t boring, right? Because of said chaos, I didn’t find many things in December, which I am not complaining about – that kept the chaos down! However, out of the few […]
DIY Colorful Jenga Blocks

I think Jenga ought to be called a classic game, don’t you? However, if we’re going to start calling a game from the 80’s classic, we might as well start calling waterbeds and jams classic too. Or maybe not – it’s debatable. For a “classic” game like Jenga, you could find yourself spending as much […]
Favorite Projects from 2013

New Years Eve just kind of sneaked up on me which is an ironic representation of this past year. However no matter how fast or crazy or worrisome it may have been at times, God has been faithful and there has been many more times that we laughed, danced, and played. So to end the […]
