I was at Target today. You know, we needed some toilet paper, sandwich bags, shampoo. So naturally, I walked out with all that…and a new floor lamp…(and *maybe* a few other things…) Isn’t that what EVERYONE does when they go to Target!? I’ve had a floor lamp in mind for the family room and always […]

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!
