I think there's nothing better than making your own decor using items you already have, or at least for the most part! Personally, cardboard and paper are favorites of mine because I've always got some laying around, it's incredibly cheap, even free in some cases, and it can be fixed up to look stunning! My most recent DIY had a rustic, Farmhouse-vibe, and let me tell you, it's a new favorite of mine! Not only is it now decor I'm proud to show off, but I made it with my own two hands-- ... continue reading...

Easy DIY Headband in LESS than 5 Minutes
I don't know about you, but sometimes I just HAVE to get my hair out of my face a little!

I personally have short hair, as you may or may not know. The length can vary a little from cut to cut, but overall short.

Early on in this year I made a decision to road trip my kiddos to the Grand Canyon and I wanted to do it in an RV. Of course at the time I didn't have an RV, but that's the thing goals and dreams are made of - big ... continue reading...
Small Spaces Are a BIG Deal!
You guys-- small spaces are so easily forgotten about but they truly can make such a BIG difference! I think a small space is the perfect opportunity to use little treasured items that don't have a home yet, but mean so much. That way, when someone takes the time to notice the sign on your coffee bar or the little plate hanging on an almost-hidden corner in your wall, you've got a story to tell-- those items have a story to tell! For me, I have 2 really special places that I love to ... continue reading...
An Easy Dollar Store Makeover You NEED To Try!
I am all about having a home you love without having to break the bank for it! I strongly believe that with a little time and a little love, you can take items that you may otherwise never use, and turn them into something you adore!

I often find things that I like the idea of, or the bones of, but not necessarily the colors or overall style-- and that is a smaller problem than you may realize! ... continue reading...

There's nothing I love more than being outside in Summer! Yes, it's hot, maybe even a little miserable-- especially here in Texas, but truly it is just SO beautiful, I can't resist! Now, I don't know about you, but I don't live on a lake or anything, or by the ocean, or even have a pool-- so I've had to curate my own little oasis, make my own beauty! I wanted to be able to step outside, feel the sun on my face, and for it to be an escape of sorts! Personally, I feel like I've accomplished that, ... continue reading...
