Howdy hoo! Still working on my re-entry from our trip... :-P. Man, this has been a looooong week, but a happy good one. Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday with 14 Little People, my fabulous fellow teachers, and my family. If you ever want to feel like a total ROCK STAR, celebrate your birthday with preschoolers. :) March is also my blog's 3rd birthday! I can't believe it's been so long, but it's been an amazing fulfilling … [Read more...]

Catalog Finds: Grandin Road
March 13, 2013 by · 3 Comments
I love it when early spring decor catalogs start arriving in my mailbox. Yes, I am an online shopper, but sometimes perusing the old-fashioned paper catalog can't be beat. Like when you're sitting on a beach somewhere... just sayin'. ;-) It's been a while since I'd thumbed through a Grandin Road catalog, but I found some really cool things this time around so I thought I'd share. Enjoy! Source: grandinroad.com … [Read more...]

Well, you know what they say... better late than never! But we're only a week into March, so I figure this isn't too bad, right? February was pretty busy, but in a really great way.

I'm still recovering a bit from such an awesome weekend of family, friends, and celebration! I have to share this amazing photo from my youngest son's confirmation on Sunday... What a wonderful day and just look at those smiling faces (Jack is back row, 3rd from the left)! During the liturgy, the sun broke through the clouds (after WEEKS of gray and rainy) and came pouring through the clerestory windows of the sanctuary. I get teary … [Read more...]

Happy Monday! I'm recovering from a busy weekend with my parents in town and my youngest son's confirmation. Seems like just yesterday he was baptized and now he's confirmed and headed for Europe with his Youth Group this summer. Yowza. Anyhoo, I thought I'd share something fun today, while I finish up editing the mass of photos from my February DIYs. The last couple of months while I've been out and about and trolling Pinterest, I've seen … [Read more...]

TGIF, friends! And Happy March to you! Today I'm sharing a super easy project. My favorite project from my Silent Auction home decor array is this planter. It just makes me happy. It's friendly.

No rocket science involved. :) Since I was using what I … [Read more...]
Spring Decor Silent Auction Item (Meeting My No Spend Challenge)
February 27, 2013 by · 8 Comments
My youngest son is fundraising for an upcoming pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal with his church youth group. This is my third pilgrimage in the last five years, so I'm experiencing a little fundraising burnout. Nonetheless, when they decided to do a silent auction and wine tasting this spring to help top off their funds, I agreed to contribute something for the auction, of course. The hubs and I will be on our Caribbean junket at the time of … [Read more...]
