Don’t fear, you guys! There’s still time for a super fast and cheap (and BIG impact!) Halloween door decoration… Remember my Monster Door from a while back? (Four years ago actually – we still had the red door back then…) Well, I decided to go for it again this year – and he/she/it makes me […]

*This page contains affiliate links for your convenience. For more information, see the FTC guidelines here.* My kids just go nuts when the Halloween stuff comes out of the bins. That day they walk in from school and the spiderwebs are up and the ghosts are on display – the neighbors can probably hear […]
When You Decorate for Valentine’s Day…on Valentine’s Day.
February 14, 2017 by 4 Comments
Happy Valentine’s Day, all! So…I have a confession to make. I wasn’t even really planning on decorating this year. I just wasn’t feeling it for some reason. Well, I guess I do know the reasons if I think about it. It was a combination of my mind not being in a decorating place much this […]
Winter White Coffee Filter Wreath (Decked out for Valentine’s Day!)
January 31, 2017 by 6 Comments
Up until about 5 days ago, I still had our Christmas greens wreath up on the front door, sporting the word ‘merry’ across it. Bad little blogger, I know, but I just didn’t have anything to go up – I have a spring wreath, but too soon for that. And then it hit me! I […]
Christmas Centerpiece and an Almost Done New Dining Room
December 8, 2016 by 8 Comments
Sometimes when you have a vision, and you can’t find that vision anywhere, you gotta think outside the box. I had an idea for a dining room centerpiece. It was clear as day in my brain: lovely greens – magnolia leaves here and there – going down the length of our table, and candles in […]

Oh my goodness, I cannot even tell you how glad we are that we took the wall down in our family room this year! Not only does it make our home feel so much bigger, it has been a BLAST to decorate for Christmas – so much fun to switch up where the tree is…we […]
Christmas Master Bedroom…After All These Years
November 30, 2016 by 5 Comments
I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do YEAR AFTER YEAR… …decorate our bedroom for Christmas! Every single year since I was a child, I’d see these cozy bedrooms decorated for the holidays in magazines. I was always drawn to them and I did my best to replicate, with a little tree in my […]

Happy First Day of FALL!!!!! I do love this season. I hear it MIGHT just fall below 80 degrees next week, so fingers crossed:) It’s hard to get all pumped and decorating for Fall when I’m sweating in a tanktop and flip flops, but I did try my hand at a Halloween craft idea last […]
DIY Halloween Pinwheel Wreath

It’s in the 90s as I type this, and has been ALL. WEEK. We’re heading to the pool today. Some schools in the area have been closed due to heat. And the thought of wearing anything but flip flops seems like it’s forever away. Yet today, I made a Halloween craft. Say what? You see, I […]
Red, White, and Blue Wreath…Using Trash?!
May 6, 2016 by 3 Comments
I’m pretty pumped about this one, folks. My husband was about to toss some old jeans last week. They were covered in holes…and not the cute kind that is popular now, you know, the ripped ones we PAY good money for (guilty – I am actually wearing a pair and have several more in my […]
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!
