Easy, Affordable & Fun Spring Outfits
April 20, 2018 By Amy 2 Comments
As I have mentioned, most of my warm-weather wardrobe is packed away in boxes and stored until we move into our new house, I didn’t really think about needing warm weather clothes in our haste to pack last winter. The warm temperatures we had last week (which sure didn’t stick around long) had me on a bit of a shopping spree. Since I am just augmenting my wardrobe (that I can’t access) I have been trying not to spend too much money, and so most of the items I purchased and are showing you today are on the affordable side.

DIY Organic Face Cream Recipe with Essential Oils
April 17, 2018 By Christy 3 Comments
It's been so wild around here lately that I've barely had time to clean my house, much less do any fun projects. In fact, I take that back--I haven't had time to clean my house. Life has been oh-so-busy with all the "lasts" of my son's senior year of high school and all of the piles of paperwork … [Read More...]

As best I can tell, we're at the tail end of pollen season here in North Carolina, which means it's time to pressure wash all the outdoor furniture and get ready to enjoy the outdoors again.

Happy Friday, friends! I'm finishing up a hair-on-fire kind of week with a quick trip out to Kansas to see my husband and wish him a very happy birthday.
