We have a special guest blogger today - my niece Emily who is spending the summer with us! She is so creative, and we're getting ourselves into trouble finding more projects than we have time for! Who has an overabundance of buttons? I had a drawer-full and needed some way to use them. It turns out ...
How I saved my Friends’ Gardens from Bugs
Post and giveaway sponsored by Central Garden & Pet, but all opinions are my own. Please see end of post for additional disclosure. I have to be honest here. I don't have a garden. We declared 2013 to be the year of the yard - with garden aspirations on hold until 2014. That said, I have ...

Simple DIY 3D Hanging Screen Idea
In the past, we leaned a large metal screen above the mantel (vintage Pier 1). In this house the screen landed over a console table, but leaning wasn't going to work. Seems a little too lazy for the room. Some curtain rod hardware, my awesome Ryobi drill and a few minutes is all we needed to ...

Key Lime Pie Recipe Inspired from my Favorite Key West Fridge Magnet
I don't typically bake. But I do make one mean green Key Lime Pie. My secret? It's based on the recipe that came on a souvenir magnet from Key West. It's so simple, even I can make it (a requirement for any recipe shared here on the blog). One of the downsides of moving frequently is losing ...
