Thanks so much for your advice and words of wisdom on the To Share or Not to Share post. We went ahead and combined the girls into one room for a trial run. It’s going great and they’re loving it, so I’m pretty sure it’s a done deal! We have a LOT of work to […]
Freshening Up Your Space
This time of year always makes me wanna fiddle around my house. Ok, ok, ANY time of year makes me do that, let’s be honest;), but this post-holiday/pre-spring lull really gets me in ‘freshening up’ mode. Translation: I don’t really have the energy or motivation to do huge makeovers (that usually hits me when we […]
To Share or Not to Share…
…THAT is the question. Our girls (ages 7 and almost 6) have been bringing up the subject of sharing a bedroom lately. They’re 18 months apart, very close, and for the most part, get along extremely well. The younger sister has a teeny tiny room. I know people with bigger closets than her room. Our […]
My Biggest Obsession
I have an obsession. Always have, and I’m sure I always will. I come from a long line of rearrangers, so I can’t escape it. It’s in my blood, people. My name is Liz. And I just. Can’t. Stop. Rearranging. Ever since I was a kid, unless something was nailed down to a wall, I […]
Love Tree with Sticks, Yarn, and Paper
This just might go down as the most inexpensive festive decor to date. 1. Go outside, grab sticks. Place them in a pitcher, vase, anything you have. 2. Cut some hearts out of cardstock. I used red. 3. Stick a hole through the heart (I didn’t have a hole punch, so I just used the […]

Simplest (and Cheapest!) Valentine’s Day Mantel Yet
Ah, you gotta love the Dollar Tree. Always comes through for some inexpensive and festive decor. I bought a handful of their red roses and my Valentine’s Day Mantel was done. Seriously. They have bunches of them – like 6ish roses in a bunch, and I bought 7 of them. So for $7 and about […]
We’re Crafty: Valentine’s Day Craft Night
Oh I missed our Craft Night! We didn’t get together in December because, well, it’s DECEMBER. Talk about a busy time of year! So I hadn’t seen my girls in a while, and was so happy we got together for Craft Night a couple weeks ago. We decided since February was approaching, we’d all bring […]
X’s and O’s (and the Valentine’s Day Buffet!)
You might remember my DIY Painted Wood Backdrop for the dining room? (I’d link you up, but we’re still going through the lengthy process of retrieving all of my old posts and attaching them to the new site – bear with us please:)…ANYwho…I created it because I love to switch things up constantly (I know, […]
A Fresh New Start and a DIY Valentine’s (or Any Day!) Frame
Oh how I’ve missed you, friends!! As most of you know, my little ol’ blog got sick. Apparently, somewhere in the blogosphere, it was hit with a nasty bug and disappeared. Funny how so many things are really blessings in disguise though. Listen to this story… I went to bed one night, checking my blog […]










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! My hope is that you visit this page and feel inspired to do a little “naptime decorating” of your own. Thank you so much for stopping by!
