I had to chuckle when I remembered writing about how crazy my month of May would be and that you might not see much of me on the blog during that month... ha! I'm so thrilled to be into June when I can breathe a little, take stock of what projects I'd like to accomplish this summer, and catch up on blogging and reading. In case you missed some of these May moments, here's a look back! We squeezed in a lake getaway to recharge before … [Read more...]

May 17, 2013 by · 10 Comments
I love the Dollar Store. A brand new one just opened up near my house and I could get lost finding great deals in there.

These were a big hit with my moms, especially since three of them got to take one home. :) Here's the how-to! Supplies you'll need: glass cylinder … [Read more...]
