Fourth of July Party Supplies

A recent Dollar Tree haul included some cute Fourth of July party supplies.  Sometimes simple things make me so happy. You know when you see something at The Dollar Tree that might be popular or seasonal, you need to pick it up then and there.  So maybe a bit early (since it is still June), […]

Temu Bathroom Order

Have you jumped on the Temu bandwagon?  I took the plunge and placed a Temu bathroom order. There were a couple things I wanted to try out for our bathroom and their prices are really low. There are mixed reviews around ordering from Temu for various reasons, but I found a few things I wanted […]

Car Battery Portable Jump Starter

Well, another post that might not seem too sexy.  But.  I’ve run into some car trouble.  And I want to share two things that bailed us out and might literally have been life savers.  A car battery portable jump starter and a spare tire. If you live in a climate with wild weather changes (who […]

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, […]

DIY Tall Trellises

Out of control jasmine plants that had outgrown their adorable dragonfly trellises inspired us to a new project – DIY Tall Trellises. And guess what?  Trellises are expensive.  And tall ones are really expensive. Social media to the rescue.  I watched a YT video where a family made a beautiful large trellis from a livestock […]
