I’M HOME, BUT I’M NOT ALL THERE | MAPIFUL
08/28/2018
This time around as we remodel our next house, I’m all about finding decor items that are different than my norm. I’m the same way with gift giving. I like to think outside of the box and gift something unique instead of the usual gift card. Today I’m sharing my newest find that would make a fun housewarming gift. I did the research and gifted it to myself to make sure. I stumbled upon Mapiful on Instagram. (Love them or hate them, those Instagram ads worked this time.) Choose any city around the world and Mapiful will create a fun print with multiple size, color and display options. Sentimental and unique; right up my alley. NOTE: Don’t be like me and not realize you could zoom in on your preferred city to actually see the streets instead of your small down being a dot on the giant map. I...

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
07/05/2018
Summertime! There is nothing better than fresh vegetables from the garden. I’m still living the Keto lifestyle. I’m down 24 pounds total and pretty much stalled there. I need to get back to strictly tracking my daily intake and ease up on the Keto sweet treats and I’m sure I’ll get back on the downward slide. The fresh summer veggies and herbs make it easy to make Keto friendly summer meals full of flavor that the whole family enjoys which makes my journey easier. You’ll find that my dinner menu is Keto friendly. While I promise, most every recipe I try is delicious, if you don’t want the higher fat, low carb. meals, you can simply use the dinner ideas below and create your own regular/lower fat versions.

DIY FLOWER PENS + SPRING DECOR
04/11/2018
Why not do double duty and DIY something not only useful but also pretty? I was needing pens for my desk in the office. Regular ball point pens are not display worthy. It took just a few supplies I had on hand to create not only a pretty spring/summer decoration for my desk but also fun pens for customers to use while jotting down their favorite images from their photo session. The process is super simple even for beginner DIYers. Here are the the steps if you would like to recreate your own pretty DIY flower pens. ITEMS NEEDED: Ball Point Pens // Floral Tape // Artificial Flowers // Wire Cutters // Hot Glue Gun STEP 1: Remove and discard both ends of a ball point pen. You may need to use your wire cutters to help pry off the top end of the pen. It’s okay if the...
