Crabs. It’s what Maryland does. All summer long, we can’t get enough. So this idea popped in my head the other day… I was looking at my buffet table that I like to decorate for the seasons, and it needed something. A sign perhaps? Maybe? Or maybe… A CRAB! A crab would be just perfect […]

Dear God, School is ending around here in just a matter of days. ‘Course, I don’t need to tell you that. Duh. With Summer fast approaching, I thought I’d take a moment and ask for your help with a few things. Above all else, please Lord, grant me patience. With my almost 5 year old, […]

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. The day has finally come. The office that I started eons ago is FINALLY complete. And it turns out, good things come to those who wait! Seemed like we were on a roll, when the files were prettified, the desk and chair were refinished, the paint and board and batten was […]

It sure is feeling like summer here these days, and I for one, am loving every minute of it. Time to start decorating with sand and seashells and that, well, that just makes me want to do cartwheels. Today I had an idea. Sand and seashells aren’t the only thing I have around here that […]

Long time, no post, I know. It was just SUCH a beautiful weekend here, and I decided to unplug a bit. It was delightful. And now I’m back, refreshed, and ready to share a table makeover I did last week. My parents got rid of this little accent table a while ago, and naturally I […]

Last night marked 52 weeks. 52 treatments. 104 needles. 45 (ish) hours hooked up, pumping my body with healthy plasma. And an immeasurable amount of prayers and a good bit of tears. Last night was my Answer-versary. Or CVID-versary. Or New Me-iversary. Or all of the above. I’ve come a LONG way since that day, […]

Finally had the girls over for our monthly craft night – ahem, which was *slightly* over a month this time – MAN does life get in the way sometimes! Anywho, it was a small bunch of us this time but we had a great time…drinking wine, eating brownies, craftin’, and girl time. What could be […]

I’m here to prove to you fine people that you CAN decorate a room on a budget – and you REALLY can if you’re patient enough to wait until you find just the right thing at yard sales. Case in point: my desk and chair for the new office cost a total of $9. TOTAL. […]

Ah, the office. It’s nearing completion friends, thanks for your patience. One of the major things I’ve been trying to cross of the list is a way to organize our bills/paperwork that we need to get to on a regular basis. Neither of the two desks (my husband and I each have our own) have […]

I’ve always believed that if you like something, then it works. It might not follow the norm, or be what everyone else likes, but that’s ok. It’s your home, and if you walk in the room and feel happy, then by all means, you go with it. Case it point, listen to what happened to […]
