Creating a lovely home, one budget-conscious project at a time.
Hi lovelies! I stumbled upon this picture how-to of pretty flower pom-poms that I made a couple years back and thought you’d might like it. They were so easy to make and not your typical tissue paper pom-poms that you normally see. I used them for a backdrop for my 31st birthday (it was our …
I can feel it, Spring is in the air! We’re supposed to get up to a *balmy* 65 degrees today here in New England in February! I’m going to soak in every second of it today. How do you like to spend your day when the weather gets warm? For me, I love hanging out …
Do you have a blank space that you don’t know what to do with it? We have this hallway on our main floor that we updated (see that post here) and I wanted to add just a little something to give it more character and rustic charm. So I decided to add a little decorative …
Hi, you guys! It’s the end of January and I’m just about done with winter! I’m ready for warm weather, hanging outside with a good book, BBQ-ing and watching the kids play in their blow up pool. I’m so looking forward to doing more outdoor projects once the weather warms up a little. Until then, …

The holidays are just my favorite time of year. The hustle and bustle, the excitement of gift giving, seeing the generosity of humans doing what they do best, showing kindness to each other. I know there can be a lot of ugliness out in the world, but I choose to see the positive and DO …
I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I’ve last posted. Just thinking back to when I had to put this blog on hold due to my stepson’s diagnosis of leukemia feels like it was just yesterday, and yet it feels like it was a lifetime ago, because so much has happened. We spent …
Good evening! Today’s post is going to be short, easy and sweet! As you saw on my post on Tuesday, I went with some text for my front door instead of a wreath. It’s my way of telling the world what we’re praying for this holiday season. And it’s super easy to do, too! Here …
Happy Friday the 13th! So ecstatic that it’s Friday and we’re getting ready for the weekend! I was at Michael’s on Wednesday picking up some things for the holiday decor that’s going up this weekend and can I just say how adorable some of their stuff is?!? I am loving all the glitzy and glam ornaments …
