DIY Concrete Pumpkin Planter
10/05/2021
Last year when the DIY concrete pumpkin planters were all the rage, I jumped on the bandwagon and made two of my own. They turned out so stinking cute! The first year I filled them with fall colored pansies. This year I opted to go the lazy, no-water route and went with faux flowers. Either way, I just love them. And when Halloween is over, just spin it around to the back to hide the jack-o-lantern face and it works through Thanksgiving. SUPPLIES NEEDED: 10″ plastic pumpkin candy bucket (or similar size) Vegetable oil or vegetable spray Solo cup Cement – Rapid Set or Portland Cement Rocks Clear spray sealer, optional I learned the old school pumpkin candy buckets are getting harder and harder to find these days. I found mine at Target early in the season last year but they sold out quick and I wasn’t able to...

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
09/20/2021
Is it Monday again? Am I living the real life version of Groundhog Day where I just keep repeating Monday’s and making new dinner menus? Why can’t I be living I Dream of Jeannie instead? Wish #1: To never have to plan meals again. Meals would just appear already made whenever anyone in the family was hungry and magically clean up afterward. Okay, maybe I’m a bit dramatic but I really am not a fan of meal prep if you couldn’t tell. Here’s hoping my pain is your gain and my meal ideas will help you spur your own weekly meals plan. **Please tell me you know of the show I Dream of Jeannie.** MONDAY:Chicken Broccoli Cheese CasseroleRiceFresh Strawberries TUESDAY:Hamburgers w/Bacon Onion JamSweet Potato Fries WEDNESDAY:Ham SteakButtered PeasCream Cheese Pumpkin Bread THURSDAY:BLT Croissant SandwichesCottage CheeseCantaloupe FRIDAY:Creamy Chicken EnchiladasPasta Salad

DIY BATHTUB TRAY | QUARANTINE, & SELF CARE
03/22/2020
The coronavirus self quarantining became very real this week. The one good thing to come from this is I am able to continue working while at home. Working from home + self quarantine means I haven’t fixed my hair, put on make-up or worn real clothes in the last 7 days. Small blessings! I’m not a skilled caregiver, I don’t work at an essential business that is still open to the public but I do have a blog. So I thought I would do my part in helping us come up with productive and entertaining ways to spend our newfound time at home. I am choosing to take this down time to focus on making my home as comfy and cozy as possible. I’m able to work on small home projects that I’ve wanted to do for months but didn’t have the time. I’m cleaning and organizing EVERYTHING. I’m...
