Pumpkins & Pillows

Hi everyone! I thought I’d pop in to show you the pillowcover I found in my closet that I forgot I had. I think you may have too much stuff when you’re not aware of the stuff you have! We’re getting ready for our garage sale and I was going through the linens I keep in my clothes closet (cause I have nowhere else to keep them) and found this beauty that I think I bought at a sample sale. ...

Autumn Harvest

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your good wishes and support as we get ready to sell our home of 11 years! It’s been pretty nice lately (at least in the early part of the day) so I’ve been trying to spend a bit of time out in the garden. I thought I’d show you a couple of things I’ve harvested in the past week. What didn’t work – potatoes! I tried growing them in a grow bag this year instead ... Read More about Autumn Harvest

Welcome To Fall Decorating

I hot glued some ... Read More about Welcome To Fall Decorating

So I planted ... Read More about My Indoor Outdoor Garden

Wash Day

Hi everyone! I had to wash my couch slipcover the other day because this cute guy likes to not only sleep up against it, but he likes to play a funny game he invented where he takes his dirty red ball and tries to get it under the couch thereby making the skirt filthy and making Mommy scream and act crazy. So fun! I get lots of questions about my couch. The most common one is where did ... Read More about Wash Day

Serendipity

Hi everyone! I so enjoyed reading the ways you guys motivate yourselves to clean! Diana mentioned that she rewards herself with a cup of chai. I totally forgot that I used to love chai! I can’t for the life of me remember why I stopped drinking it? Anyway, I think a hot cup of chai will be a reward that I'll use as soon as the weather gets cooler. When I was cleaning my living room I had taken ... Read More about Serendipity
