Awesome Audiobooks

I listen to a lot of audiobooks. As in a lot. If I’m exercising alone, taking a walk (like this beautiful walk at Montezuma’s Well), cleaning, driving, I’m likely listening to an audiobook. And when I “read” an awesome one, I cannot help but share it. Here are the awesome audiobooks that, no holds barred, […]

Budget Home Décor

I have made some great budget home décor purchases recently and want to share them with you! Last week I shared my budget arched cabinet, which I still love and now I’m going to share a couple new pieces styled on it. And in a couple other places too 😉. Cordless Lamp From the Magnolia […]

Pet Food Storage

A perfectly fine pet food storage cabinet gave way to a beautiful new arched cabinet and I couldn’t be happier! A few years ago we moved the cats’ bowls into the kitchen and needed a good place to store their food and supplies. A place that was not in the pantry where we keep our […]

Sidewalk Paver Project

The last project of the season is finally in the books! None of our latest projects have been very sexy, or all that big, but are things we have wanted to cross off our list. Adding sidewalk pavers to the side of our house is the last project before the heat really sets in and […]

Dear friends who have shared their home improvements seem to be dealing with varying levels of frustration. From rising material costs, lack of […]

Pottery Barn Bedding

Way back in April, hub and I stopped in for a little window shopping at Pottery Barn. And as always, I just drooled over their bedding. And the Scarlett quilt caught my eye. As in I loved it so much I shared it with you then. Guess what? It went on sale! As in, actually […]

June 2025 Potpourri

This might be the most potpourri-y post I’ve written yet! It’s truly just a little bit of this and that I’ve been up to and what is going on. Thanks for stopping by and here we go. Shopping I made (more than) a couple purchases this month and got such wonderful personalized service, I couldn’t […]
