I've been bitten by the Instagram bug folks and it ain't pretty. Well actually it is and that is part of the problem! Who knew that even someone like me with my less than stellar photos could apply a little filter and BAM master photographer! Ok, it may not be that simple, but as least this way I can mask some of the flaws of my photography with a little filter action. I finally cleaned our mantle off from my birthday celebration (yes it took me a whole month), but then I was left with an ... Read the Post

Pupusa!
Back in the good old days we had cable. Hundreds of channels, things on demand, and never a quiet moment. My hubby and I have slightly different taste in television shows... he would rather watch the science channel and I am totally content with E! We totally compromise on the food network though so back then we watched a lot of food network tv. This is both terrible (who doesn't want to eat after watching that) and wonderful (it sparks my creativity and encourages me to break out of my food ... Read the Post
Creating a Container Garden with Miracle-Gro
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. A while back i talked a little bit about how much my family (especially the hubby and I) love being outdoors. Well summer hasn't quite made it here to the Pacific Northwest, but I am hoping to try and fake it with this outdoor container garden! Shortly after moving in we attempted to turn out overgrown backyard into a relaxing space for both the kids and us. My ... Read the Post
How to Paint a Mural Like a Pro
So if you follow me on Facebook you've seen some of the progress I've been making on my daughters tinkerbell room. Last week I decided to get fancy and paint a mural on her wall. I've seen a lot of pins on pinterest of how to make your own projector but I asked my friends on Facebook if anyone had one I could borrow and wouldn't you know it ones of them did! I'm not going to say you need a projector to paint a mural, but I totally do! The first thing I did was find a pretty tree that had ... Read the Post
Lace and Bead Pendant Light From an Old Lamp Shade
Last weekend we took a trip to Ikea in search of a new dresser for our master bedroom. While we didn't end up finding one we loved I did fall madly in love with several of their light fixtures. I have been on a painting spree getting both my girls bedrooms decorated and made just a little bit more personal, and since both of their rooms came with those awful glass square lights I knew that I was going to have to change them sooner than later. I had looked online and loved this light for my ... Read the Post
Mexican Ramen Noodle Salad
So do you ever open the fridge, freezer and cupboard to make dinner and realize you have most of the ingredients for several meals but not everything you need to complete one. That is where this meal was born. I had evening I needed for burritos/taco salad/Mexican pizza but no tortillas or chips. I did however have top ramen and that got my wheels turning! I figured that at worst no one would eat it (2 nights a week that happens no matter what I make) and at best it would be a hit. I am so ... Read the Post
Instagram Magnets for Father’s Day
Around our house I have started a handmade holiday tradition. This means that for Christmas (and some other special days) the only gifts I give are ones that I have made. Last Christmas I made my brother in law a set of Seattle Seahawks tile coasters (if you want a set you can order them from my etsy shop- i can do any theme you like) and my husband talked about them for weeks (or months...or he is still talking about them now). I knew that for father's day I wanted to make him something like ... Read the Post

A Hummus Recipe for Everyone!
I love hummus. It is a staple in our diet, however buying hummus at the store is ridiculously expensive when you realize you could be making it at home for a fraction of the price. It is also super easy and only takes 5 ingredients...yep five! Hummus Recipe 1 16 oz can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas work too) and 1/4 cup liquid from can 1-3 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on your tastes) 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini 2 tablespoon of garlic (crushed/minced whatever) 2 tablespoons ...

Wheel of Fortune- The Epilogue
So did you watch? Did you see how it ended? Can you believe we had to keep it a secret for sooooooo many months! If you missed it go search on YouTube, I'm sure it's there. Go ahead, I'll wait. Okay now that you're caught up, eeeeeeeeeee! So crazy right?!? I can't believe that I got to be on the show with the million dollar winner! Okay so you obviously saw me totally lose (it was so embarrassing) but I am nothing but happy for Autumn! She is a totally nice and genuine person and I am so crazy ... Read the Post
Custom Wood Sign For the Fiesta Dining Room
So when I first started this whole dining project I knew that I wanted a big wooden sign hanging in my dining room. I love the look of some of the really distressed ones that are floating around (and pretty much everything Kindra makes over at "At Home With K", you should go check her out) but I have never purposefully aged or distressed anything so I didn't want to get to far ahead of myself. Years and years ago when I was a newly single 20 something starting over one of my good friends gave ... Read the Post

So it is finally time for me to head to the studio and the anticipation is killing me! I spent a lot of time trying on outfits for my hubby before I left so I knew exactly what I was going to wear! They told us to show up with our hair and makeup done so I spent a bit of time trying to get those just right seeing as ... Read the Post
