Giving a gift that gives back is like the icing on a sweet cake! It’s wonderful to come up with an amazing present, but to know that your purchase keeps on giving is even better. I looked around to find some thoughtful companies that either donate items (like buy one give one campaigns), support fair…
The number one questions I get on the blog is “How do you make your homemade chalky paint recipe?”. I’ve used the same recipe to make my own chalky paint for years. Here is a short video to show you how I mix my own paint followed by tips on how and why I use…

My very favorite family recipes anchor this Thanksgiving table setting. Not actually the food but the recipes…hand written or from a typed (from a real typewriter) notecard. Little slivers of my family on paper. Maybe you could drag out the old recipe box for your very own family heirloom recipe placemats. Before I share my table, I want…

I love hosting events. Planning and prepping, executing and enjoying. All of it. I always have. To a degree I think we are either wired that way or not, but I believe we can all enjoy being a hostess if we approach the task prepared. These are just a few tips I have gathered over…
I promise the chalkboard apron DIY will come soon, but first I have to brag a smidge about my daughter. She is a little entrepreneur that has slowly creeped out of her comfort zone to start her very own kettle corn business. Of course dad is on hand with business tips and mom is there to…

There have been a number of chalkboard projects flying around our house lately. Chalkboards aren’t exactly new, but they really are so much fun! Especially when it’s a huge chalkboard with huge chalkboard lettering going on! A while back I was picking the kids up from school when a giant stack of window screens begged me to…
When I was a kid teen rooms all looked the same…posters yanked from the latest Teen Beat magazine papered the walls.
