My creative juices have been in high gear lately. Must be the simple fact that Spring is showing itself in small glimpses. My heart and mind are fueled by sunshine and warmer temps. Lots of DIY projects going on in our household, some bigger ones that I am anxious to share, but they aren't quite finished yet. ... View Post
Easter Topiarys
With February half over and Easter right around the corner, we can bring out the Easter decor and look ahead to Spring <3 . The next few weeks, I am going to share some very simple, yet charming diy crafts. When I say simple, I mean simple.

My not so Pinterest Pantry
I hope you all enjoyed the DIY project I shared last week, but it's time we get back to business. This week, I tackled organizing the pantry. I may appear as if I have everything together and organized already, but truth be known, I don't!! I am diving into these projects publicly for you AND ME!! There is nothing more pressing than setting a goal and knowing you will be held accountable! ... View Post
“A penny for your thoughts…”
When I started this blog, I expressed my desire to share inspiration. I hope I have been able accomplish that. The more and more we dive into small projects around our home, the more brave Glenn and I become when it comes to "DIY", but it's not just about us, when I say I want to "share inspiration" I mean just that!! I am so blessed to be surrounded by a community of friends that are willing to allow me to share with all of you! We were so impressed this past holiday season when our dear ... View Post
“It’s all about that space, ’bout that space, no clutter”
I'm dying to know if I inspired any of you to clear your kitchen counter tops and restyle them.... anyone? Have you been able to keep your sinks clear? Have you delegated certain tasks to family members to help keep them clutter free? I would love to hear about any fun ways you organize with what you wish to keep on top of your counter tops. Please share, we all want to know, and this is a great way to encourage one another. ... View Post
Clean Slate
If you missed last week's post, I wrote about motivation and inspiration to tackle the new year. You might be wondering, "Did she start organizing and deep cleaning her kitchen like she stated?" The answer is yes, I did "start". Maybe you returned because you wish to deep clean and organize along with me. I hope! The only way I know how to truly tackle a project like this is to dive right in. Let's start with the counter, because that is what people see, and that is what is going to give ... View Post
Guided Motivation, Inspired Steps
Let's start where we are.." Wise words taken from Shauna Niequist's 365 devotional "Savor: Living Abundantly Where You Are, As You Are", which I highly recommend if you are in search of a new daily devotional. She gives credit to her dear friend, Laura, with this statement. It spoke power to me and gave me just the motivation needed to start 2016 with purpose. ... View Post
Let the Festivities Continue!
Christmas is over.. wow!! That was fast! Aren't the holidays fun?! All the parties, the out of town friends and family, the thoughtful gifts, the overall presence of "giving really is more than receiving", the carols, reflecting on the "reason for the season". I wish it lasted a little longer, but instead of giving into the post holiday blues, remember we have another excuse to get our party on this week! Which means another opportunity to repurpose that holiday decor. Whether you are ... View Post
A Lake House Christmas Tour
I love being inspired. Sometimes I have an idea of what look I am going for and just need some help getting started, and sometimes I hit a road block and need a jolt. ... View Post
