Sew Your Own Ruffled Christmas Tree Skirt
If you’ve spent much time on Pinterest looking for Christmas inspiration, you’ve most likely stumbled upon a tutorial for a no-sew ruffle Christmas tree skirt, by Miss Mustard Seed. Many people have recreated it and I love each version. So, I decided to make one of my own, but I changed it up a bit to save some money and…

I’m Back!
I can’t even believe that it’s been over 2 weeks since I posted on my blog! We’ve had a busy time around here, with company for 2 weeks and then my husband’s work schedule changed. I haven’t adjusted so quickly to the new schedule, plus I’m exhausted from all of the busyness around here, so what have I been doing?…

Christmas Tablescapes
Last night our church held its annual Christmas dinner/concert, and it was wonderful! This was our first year at the church so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I had heard that the food is always outstanding, and the decorations amazing. I was not disappointed. The beauty of the table decorations was that each table was decorated differently, by…

Easy Pork BBQ
While my family was visiting last week I tried to keep our meals delicious, but as simple as possible, so we wouldn’t be in the kitchen the whole time. This Pork BBQ recipe turned out really well and it’s the easiest pulled pork recipe I’ve ever made. An added bonus is that it freezes really well, so you can make…

DIY Dropcloth Advent Calendar
It’s been a few days since I’ve been on here, and I’m sorry for the absence, {I tried to get this posted yesterday but our internet crashed and I couldn’t} but let me just say that I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family. I didn’t pull out my camera at all over the weekend, but my sister did. You…

Ways to Use Leftover Turkey
Well, Thanksgiving week is finally here! My turkey is happily thawing in the fridge, my children are with my parents until Wednesday, and my to-do list is about to be tackled with a vengeance. If you’re making dinner for Thursday, you probably have your menu all put together, but have you thought about the rest of the week? What will…

Finished Project: Privacy Roman Shade
We moved into our home almost 10 months ago now, which is hard to believe! Our neighborhood was still under construction at the time and we had no neighbors for months. We longed for people to be around us, but that also meant spending some money. You see, only the windows on the front house came with mini-blinds; it was…

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust & Toll House Pie
Several weeks ago I posted a recipe for gingersnaps, one of my husband’s favorite cookies. I mentioned in that post that I’d be sharing with you a pumpkin cheesecake recipe which uses crushed gingersnaps. Unfortunately, pumpkin cheesecake is not on our Thanksgiving menu this year, and since I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to eat…

My New Favorite Breakfast, Lunch or Snack Food
This pregnancy has been quite different from my others, actually each one has had its own peculiarities, but for some reason I’ve been craving healthy food this time around! If you know me at all, this will come as quite a shock. Normally I want ice cream, candy, greasy foods, and basically anything that isn’t healthy. Over the past few…
