Here’s a little fun fact about yours truly. I’m the WORLD’S WORST GARDENER. Like, seriously. I can’t grow anything, or keep the most livable plant alive – it’s sad, really. I want SOOOO badly to be one of those grow-your-own-food types, where the kids and I frolic outside and pick our lettuce and peppers and tomatoes and […]

It was kind of a quiet month around here.

Oh you guys. I’ve been trying SO hard. For what seems like forever, I’ve been on the hunt for THE perfect bedroom color. Lucky for me, I’ve got about a jillion and one paint samples in my laundry room, so it’s not hard to slap some shades on the wall. I knew I wanted to […]
Hi there! I’m Liz, a former teacher-turned-stay-at-home mom to three kids, with a passion to create a warm and inviting home on a budget. This blog all started when I’d put the babies down for a nap, and squeeze in a project during those precious couple of hours!
