Custom shelving can cost upwards of hundreds of dollars, and even your basic pre-fabbed, boring shelves can be about $20+/- a piece! With three shelves, that would have been a minimum of $60 r...

Since our Laundry Room makeover was such a big project, I thought it would be helpful to write a post just about the room decor! The decor was primarily DIY’d with miscellaneous materials I had on hand. In the end, I “put together”: 1 pocket change jar 2 framed wall hangings 1 repainted...How to Make Awesome Labels Without a Silhouette

I’ve been stung by the organization and labeling bee and I just can’t get enough! While browsing for inspiration, I’ve come across some amazing labels and almost every time, they’ve been created with a handy little machine called a Silhouette!

Yup! I cussed in this blog title, but you’ll just have to get over it because I have an excuse! Our entire honeymoon was hysterically euphoric and we just kept quoting this song over and over! So, there! If you follow our blog, you know that Eric and I got married about two and half years ago, but never had the...
