My Favritie Things About Blogging
Happy Thursday, y’all!! This week has been crazy busy! My little guy, who just turned seven last week, decided that it is time that he has his own room. These moments are always so bittersweet, excited that he is growing up and wants a little more independence, but also sad that he’s growing up and not my little baby anymore!! In a moment of insanity, I agreed to help my three oldest boys switch rooms, and, of course, redecorate. My youngest is the only one that stayed in his room. Thank goodness that one of my boys like their room! I would have been heartbroken to take down the book…

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop 337
Welcome to the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop! It is well into summer and, you may not believe it but, “back-to-school” is about to appear! The principal of the school where I work just contacted me to say that my class roster is already full! Our first day of school is way into September, so this is very unusual. We even have a waiting list. Now, school where YOU live probably begins much earlier so thinking about school clothes and supplies during July may be a very familiar theme. I expect to see some great back-to-school posts coming along in our party soon! Last week’s party was a great one. Here…

Coffee Table Dilemma…sell or keep?
Happy Thursday!! I cannot tell you how much I am loving summer! It’s my most favorite time of the year! I love having an open schedule, lazy days, play days, and adventure days. It’s all so much fun! For those of you that don’t know, I have four boys (13, 10, 7, 4). You can probably imagine how all the energy and craziness that goes on here can lead to huge arguments, and sometimes even a full blown fist fight. Four little men, all trying to be the alpha! That is the one part of summer break is hard. Fortunately, thus far, summer break has been so good to us!!…

Top Shelf Clearance Challenge ~ July
Happy Monday, friends!! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend! It was sunny and warm here! I spent a lot of time outside, and also did a little shopping…I had to find something for this month’s clearance challenge. To my surprise, I found sooo many cute things on clearance! Keeping to the rules of this challenge, I only spent $15 on clearance items. I was able to get a little shelf for $10, and a sweet, little white vase for $4, both from Hobby Lobby. They are having a big clearance event right now. All spring/summer merchandise is marked down! I thought the shelf was so cute as-is, but I…

Happy Fourth of July!!! Yesterday, my very sweet friend, Terrie, put together a fun little blog hop, in which she invited me to join. It was a DIY blog hop in which everyone was to make a set of three stamped books. Here is a link to Terrie’s blog post about how she made her stamped books, click on the picture below to check it out….

In the process of trying to make a stack of stamped books for…

Fourth of July Mantel
Happy Monday, y’all!! Can you believe it is already July 1st!!! It seems like we just finished up with Christmas, and now we’re in July! Today, I am sharing a super simple, and inexpensive way to decorate your mantel for the Fourth of July/summer. I gathered all of my milk glass vases, and placed them on my mantel. If you don’t collect these vases, you definitely should! They are usually quite inexpensive, ranging anywhere from $.50 to $3.00. They are perfect for any season. Fill them with flowers, candles, flags, etc. Anytime I spot one at the thrift store, it’s a definite “yes” for me. I then filled the vases…

Sunday Vibes
Happy Sunday, sweet friends!!! I cannot tell you how much I LOVE flower season!! I spend most Sunday afternoon’s, during the summer, outside, working in my yard as my boys run around and play. It’s my favorite day of the week! What is your favorite day of the week? These sweet lavender colored roses are right out of my garden, and placed in my very favorite vase that I got from Pottery Barn, and it’s on sale today! I love how simple this vase is, and it make arranging flowers a breeze. Just stick the flowers in the vase, they always look effortless, yet beautiful. If you want to check…

Furniture Transformation & DIY Chalk Paint
Happy Friday y’all!! I’m so excited that we finally made it to another weekend!! I wanted to quickly show y’all an adorable little table that I bought for just $5 at my local thrift shop. With a couple coats of chalk paint, a little distressing, and staging, it sold it in less than an hour! I totally forgot to take a “before” picture, but just imagine it…an ugly brown, dirty, and pretty banged up when I bought it. And now…Such a cute little table! To be honest, the best part about transforming pieces of furniture to sell, is that, one, I love doing it, and, two, I love seeing buyers…
