I seriously did not think I would make it through May. I fully intended to roll through the month with a few outdoor projects I could share here and at The Great Outdoors linky party and with my sanity intact. But here I sit, brain-dead, in a very dirty, messy house, recovering from a brutal chest cold that kicked my hiney the last week of school, with nothing to show but a few of my favorites and a To Do List for June. Sorry, folks! Life … [Read more...]

Progress on the To-Do’s & Boredom Buster Bags
May 23, 2012 by · 4 Comments
You kind of get two posts in one today, in the effort to hold myself accountable for my To-Do List. It was growing fangs (my To Do List, that is) over the weekend and all I wanted to do was sit on my back deck with a stack of magazines and enjoy the breezes. But I battled through and with the help of My Teens we got quite a bit done. Progress!! We spent a good bit of time taming the ivy that was taking over the front beds and providing … [Read more...]
Shopping on Saturday & Some Thrifty Finds
May 21, 2012 by · 11 Comments
We had a gangbusters weekend around here, working on my To-Do List, celebrating a few graduations, church, and prepping for my last week with the Little Ones. Whew! But I managed to squeeze in a quick trip to the Junk Day at Woodstock Antique Market on a quest for things for the booth and a fly-by of one of my favorite home decor stores, Casabella's. It was for sure a case of "the early bird gets the worm" at Junk Day... Those frames … [Read more...]
The {Outdoor} To-Do List
May 18, 2012 by · 12 Comments
I finally have a little lower key weekend ahead and it looks like the weather will cooperate this time! Woo hoo! I've been ready to get outside and get working on my outdoor spaces for weeks now, but the triumvirate of pollen, rain, and kid-tivities have been standing in the way. And Lord knows, the weekdays are way too crazy busy to do anything more than a bit of list-making. Yesterday, I took 15 minutes and surveyed the front porch and … [Read more...]

If you've been reading here long enough, you know I'm a non-sewing decor blogger. I'd love for that to change, but I'm not in a big hurry to break out the sewing machine and learn. So when I got a load of this from Laura over at Top This Top That... Source: topthistopthat.blogspot.com via Heidi on Pinterest and this from KariAnne at Thistlewood Farm...

Preschool Cupcakes and Coffee with Mom…
May 14, 2012 by · 15 Comments
Last week we celebrated our preschoolers' moms with a Cupcakes and Coffee spread. This event is a lot of work, but the kids and the moms love it so much, I always feel that it is completely worth it! So I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek of my "other" job... The tables are decorated with the children's gifts for mom: scrapbooks of art collected over the entire year! We save one project each month, then mount them and compile … [Read more...]
