Ah Back to School…love this time of the year. Amongst the crazy of buying supplies and uniforms, I do like to try and thank the teachers in some way. They deserve it. And really, a pencil vase? Cute. While I love the look of the pencil bouquet with its scrapbook flowers and the (super easy) cricut …
Look at this gorgeous watercolor print I found! A Robin’s nest. How perfect is that? Amazing work by Tracey Gurley. She is on Tracey Gurley Etsy if you are interested. I found this free printable (LOVE it when people offer a piece of their work) on the site, On Sutton Place. Must have been meant to …
Love baseball? I was surprised at how easily it was to make a flower out of a ball and attach to some flip flops. They turned out great! I’m thinking other sports can easily be done, softball or maybe even soccer next? You can buy sport flip flops on Etsy and certainly lots of pins on …

Forty! the big 4-0! Definitely a fun birthday to celebrate big. I was lucky enough to assist my friend’s husband in pulling off his 40 gifts surprise. How difficult could this be? Well…. Getting to 20 gifts was easy, even into the 30’s wasn’t so bad once you Google a little. But it wasn’t until 3 …

In my reading of anything I could get my hands on about what to expect from my first Comic-Con, it was apparent the shear volume of giveaways needed to have a plan. Who doesn’t like getting something for free? Certainly the large entertainment companies are in attendance at Comic-Con so I needed to be prepared. On …
A big part of building our nest is taking vacations. Big or small they allow us to step away from school/work and try to unplug from our phones even if it is for a couple of days. So I’ve decided to start blogging more on our getaways. We were lucky enough to make it through the …
Need an extra something for you next baby shower gift? Try making these easy baby washcloth lollipops. Too cute and simple to make. I got the idea from 320 Days of Sunshine. You can see her blog post on them here. However, I’ve made a couple of sets of these now and I have some helpful …
