Hall of Fame
Are pictures all over your house with no rhyme or reason?

The first thing you need to do is gather all your pictures that are in frames. I did leave some pictures out on my mantel and some in my dining room but for the most part, I gathered the others. I didn’t like the look of the frames of different colors but that was easily remedied. Read more […]
More Than One Way To Wear A Maxi
I love when I can find more than one way to wear clothes. This past weekend we went to South Carolina to pick up our middle daughter. She had spent a week with friends. We were meeting them halfway between our house and theirs at South of the Border. Riding in my car is not my favorite thing to do. Sitting still makes the partial tear in my rotator cuff ache and hurt more. I wanted to be comfortable on our drive there, so I looked through my closet to see what I could wear that was comfortable. I Read more […]

T Shirt Makeover for Less
Yesterday we attended a Railhawks game. If you are a fan of my other blog Adventures of Frugal Mom, then you know what big soccer fans we are. This year we were able to save up and buy season tickets. Being that the games are held outdoor and we live in North Carolina it gets hot.

So today I decided on something Read more […]
Vintage Present Table

Getting your high school diploma and your college degree at the ripe age of 18, we wanted to do something to help celebrate this accomplishment. We decided to give her vintage country shabby chic party. We hosted it at the farm that she has worked at for the past three seasons.

Bad Hair Day Problem Solved
Happy Fourth everyone!! Just like everyone else today we spent it with friends and family at a cookout. Of course, today would be the day that I was having a bad hair day. No matter how much I straighten it or put Moroccan oil on it, it just would not do what I wanted it to do. Ever have days like this where you have someplace to go and you want to look good but your hair won’t cooperate. For the most part I have a very simple hair style, a stacked bob. But because my hair is so thick when it starts Read more […]
Laundry Room Art
I loved to spend time on Pinterest but when I am looking I am always trying to figure out how to put my spin on things that I find. When I was revamping my laundry room, I wanted to replace the artwork in there. But there was no way that I could have afforded to buy new laundry room art. I was strolling through Pinterest one day and happened to find some chalkboard art. I thought why can’t I make some of my own. I had some framed art that I thought why can’t I reuse this and to Read more […]
