Yesterday at Totally Tutorials Tuesday, I eluded to the fact that some things have been going on with our family lately. It’s true. And in a lot of ways, it has been the hardest thing we have ever gone through. I don’t want this post to be about the hard or the sad or the depressing. I want there to be something good that comes from this experience. Since it isn’t over yet, I cannot tell the entire outcome. But because of it, I have had to make some … [Read more...]
I kind of love this look. I wish it wasn’t quite so “trendy” but I love the feathers in the hair look. It’s kind of quirky and off the beaten path. So the other day I found an awesome deal for feathers and went for it. I didn’t really love the feathers I got but you can still see how to place them. I’ve heard you can find good feathers in the tackle area of sporting goods stores. I’ve never actually looked myself, but let me know if you do. If you buy a feathers … [Read more...]
As I’m growing older, I have noticed little things with my skin that I haven’t been liking. I have much more little lines {especially at the corners of my eyes} and my skin is so dry. I’ve been thinking I needed to get myself a good skin care regimen. I’ve seen lots of ads that claim lots of things and I wasn’t sure where to go. Also they seemed really expensive. So When I got the chance to try one, I jumped at it. Rodan and Fields has 4 different … [Read more...]
Welcome to another Fun Feature Friday. I’m so glad to see you guys supporting our little linky party. Thank you to everyone that linked up!!

And secondly, how many sets of stairs do you have in your house? AWESOME!! She’s got some great quality posts!! I am LOVING these DIY nails … [Read more...]
In honor of Thanksgiving I am going to show you how to make the best Turkey you have ever had!! First off though I have to say this post is a little long with a lot of reading. But it is packed full with useful information and worth the read. Second, I have to apologize for my pictures. My camera broke {the pics come out good for the top half but black on the bottom. Happens with both lenses. Not sure why. Anyone know about this?? } so I had to take these pictures with my cell … [Read more...]
When we were moving into our home, we had a hard time getting the fridge in the door. We had to take the doors off the fridge to get it in actually. And the sides got pretty scratched up. See how yucky that looks?? So what to do, what to do? Oh I know, get some of this: It’s Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy. And I got it at Wally World but it was a little hard to find so you’ll have to look for it. You could ask someone, but since no one is ever in the paint … [Read more...]
I remember when Heelys burst onto the scene. They were a big thing, but they seemed to be a boys shoe. Maybe that was just my perception. Well not anymore. My girls {especially my oldest} were super excited to try out some Heelys. We got some Heelys hx2. It has 2 wheels in each shoe. This makes it great for younger children. It helps maintain balance and does not require as much leg strength to lift your toes as you skate. You can take out … [Read more...]
This Veterans day, I wanted to take the time to say Thank You to our troops. All the Brave Men and Women who sacrifice so much to ensure the freedoms we all enjoy. And a special thanks to their families who sit home alone and wait and hope for their safe return. I don’t know how you do it and I don’t think there are thanks enough in this world. I made a printable to remind us of this noble sacrifice: Click on the image to download a high quality free printable. This image is … [Read more...]
We had some great link ups this week. I’m excited to share them with you. My favorite is: This $5.00 scripture wall décor from I heart my glue gun. I really LOVE this and I am going to make my own. I like the combination of fonts and the different boards. I just love it all!! Ok wait it’s a tie. Because I LURVE these: Vintage crate stairs from Compulsive in Texas. How awesome is this. I am so doing this!! Now to find me … [Read more...]

I have made some really good long term friends in a short time. It seems blogging brings people together quickly. What a nice surprise!! So today I wanted to introduce you to … [Read more...]
