When NOT to D.I.Y.

January 18, 2013 by Meredith 4 Comments

DIY Disaster Zone

How we learned when not to DIY a big flooring project, and how it's coming along now... In my last post, I alluded to my life being a bit messy right now, and I had hoped that by this time I'd be posting triumphantly about the project that has made it so.  But no.  I'm […]

Orange and Chocolate Cake Recipe

Orange chocolate marble cake, my new go-to recipe for special occasions. You wouldn't even know it's egg free and dairy free! Happy New Year everyone!  I know, New Year's was last week, but that kind of sums up how my life is going right now.  More to come on that later... For now, I wanted […]

Cute Hair Clip Holder

Find out how easy it is to make this cute hair clip organizer, and it's easy enough to use, even for small fingers!

Thrift Store Inspiration

Old Chairs Get New Life

I just couldn't pass them up.  I was on my way into one of my favorite thrift stores, and these chairs were sitting on their front sidewalk, just begging for some attention. That day I was trying to exert some self-control, so I walked away.  Well, I thought about them for days.  Yes, these are […]

Home Economics and Family Chores Uncharted

October 18, 2012 by Meredith 9 Comments

Allowance System

How we made our family chores more fun, and easier to keep track of than a chore chart, especially for the little ones. In our family, the beginning of the school year is marked by a continuous flow of money.  Unfortunately, the money is flowing out, not in, and I'm not sure I could tell […]

Juice and Crackers

September 27, 2012 by Meredith Leave a Comment

When my 5-year-old understood the point of communion better than I did. ThePaletteMuse.com

My 5-year-old sat in church with us on Sunday.  After the service, she wanted to know why we didn't let her take some juice and crackers when they were passed around.  Wondering how I could have lived my whole life believing in Jesus, going to church, taking communion, and still not knowing how to explain […]

Custom Wall Art with Finger Plates

September 20, 2012 by Meredith Leave a Comment

How To Hand a Collection of Plates

  This was such a cool project, I just had to share.  A client recently asked for help in displaying her collection of fingertip plates that she'd inherited from her grandmother.  She had about 65 of them, many valuable, all interesting.  Here's how we did it. 1. Fashioned plate hangers custom made for each plate […]

Organizing Headbands

Find out how a simple piece of repurposed craft storage saves our bathroom from headband chaos. My favorite organizing hack! My daughters have adorable headbands.  Like 50 of them.  The headbands make great (and easy) accessories when getting ready for school, but as soon as the girls get home, the headbands magically fly off their […]

New Beginnings

August 30, 2012 by Meredith 1 Comment

Two weeks ago, my baby started kindergarten.  I laughed.  I cried.  I went out with my husband for breakfast.  Then I started trying to figure out what to do with my new life.  Sort of a "when I grow up I want to be..." moment.  I've learned by now, thanks to my fearless parents, that […]
