Converting the Home Office

We had a tiny project going on here this week.  We spent some time and money converting the home office.  To what, you ask?  A man cave! It’s been quite some time since we’ve done any projects.  The summer just didn’t lend itself to any household improvements. But hub’s desire for a recliner (different than […]

Budget Art

It’s time for some new art in our bedroom, but spending a lot of money for it isn’t too appealing.  But.  I found budget art and I’m going to share it with you. Because.  I love it.  I recently shared some free art I found online, printed it off, used a frame I had and […]

Summer Kitchen Refresh

The beginning of June seems like the appropriate time to do a summer kitchen refresh.  To lighten things up a bit, I added some faux citrus.  The small PB lemon tree (Amazon version here) went into a cute white basket and on top of my pet feed cabinet and under my beautiful Buc-ees chicken.  BTW, […]

Around Town in February

We had an unusually busy (and fun) week with various activities around town in February and here is a recap. Latin Night DF Barb got our posse all signed up for the club’s Latin Night dinner this week. It was a very fancy taco Tuesday buffet. The dĂ©cor was cute, the food was good and […]

Target’s Spring 2023 Home DĂ©cor

Both the Magnolia and Studio McGee released their new lines and BAM.  Immediately Target was sold out.  But some items were restocked and here is this week’s visit to Target highlighting their Spring 2023 Home DĂ©cor selections. Home Organization Target’s Brightroom organization line is really fantastic.  There are literally aisles and aisles of bins and […]

Try Something New

I know I’m showing my laziness here.  But let me be honest.  I like my rut.  It’s soft and cozy and warm.  But sometimes it’s good to try something new. Challenge myself. So here’s what I did. I assembled my new desk!  Usually that is the job hub and Roxy take care of and I […]

December Fitness Challenge

Anyone want to join me for a December fitness challenge? My goal is to keep the winter blues away, minimize sugar and alcohol, and add a little extra fitness to each day. Are you with me? As the month goes on, this will be like an advent calendar, but instead of little chocolates, I’ll update […]

Christmas Decorating on a Dime

Is it just me?  Is everyone else going out and spending hundreds of dollars on new Christmas dĂ©cor?  Because this year I’m Christmas decorating on a dime. In fact, the past couple of years I have weeded out most of my old Christmas stuff and really have very little now.  I don’t usually put up […]

Faux Fall Floral

(and Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches) I know, I couldn’t stand to waste that alliteration. So it stands alone.  Proudly.  And we get a little subtitle here.  The things that amuse me. And I really am going to share the faux fall floral around the house and our latest linner (lunch/dinner) for super easy slow […]

Honest Review of Fusion Mineral Paint

Do you remember when hub painted our console table to better coordinate with our old dining set?  And then.  We got a new dining set.  And then.  The white looked a little stark in our entryway against the new table.  And then.  I heard about a specialty paint brand for furniture.  So we tried, and […]
