The holidays are just around the corner and who doesn’t love to get a care package from a friend, a loved one, or a Secret Santa? I love getting a large envelope or small package in the mail because I wasn’t expecting a package and I get excited to see what’s in the envelope or box. I rip into it with enthusiasm and find wonderful little gifts! The great thing about care packages is that they can be sent to anyone! Family members send care packages to their children who are away at college or studying abroad. Churches gather small […]
Weekend DIY Projects
During the fall, weekends seem to be for football and tailgating. But if your team isn’t playing, then why not use the time to do a couple of DIY projects around your house or apartment.

And since we moved into the main house, we now sleep in Maw’s […]

I chose to pull my gift ideas from Macy’s and Nordstrom, and I’ve arranged them by price, starting with the least expensive. 1. Bella […]
Pin-spiration: Living Room Spaces
Several months ago, my husband and I moved from the large one room studio apartment above his grandmother’s garage and moved into the big house. It was a slow transition, but we are essentially “moved in!” In a few months, my husband will be ripping up the carpet in the living room and the dining room, revealing a natural hardwood floor which will be in rough shape! So to get me excited about the possibilities of what can be, I decided to turn to Pinterest to find some inspiration.
