Happy Monday everyone!!! I hope you all had a good weekend!
After the insane week of getting ready for my Halloween Home Tour, my body rebelled, and I was sick all weekend. Let’s just say Nyquil Nighttime and I were BFF’s all weekend.
I have had a lot of questions on how I made some of the projects on my Home Tour, so I thought I would break them down for you this week.
Let’s start with this guy. …
Friday is almost here! I’m excited … and super nervous because my house is going to be part of the Halloween Blog Tour!
15 other bloggers, and myself, will be letting you tour our homes to see our most Spooktacular Halloween decor.
I am pretty proud of how most of my house looks right now. Notice I say most, that is because all of the rest of our junk, not in the rooms being photographed, has been stuffed into the office. You know the cartoons where the characters cram so much stuff in the closet and then someone opens the door and it avalanches on top of them? Well that is the reality of my office right now. It could seriously kill you if you open that door too quickly.
Since we still have one day until my tour, I thought I would give you a sneak peek at one of the projects….
Hello my friends!
I am starting to feel a bit better finally. Still a bit weak and a little achy, but this bug really bit me in the butt. For a full week I was a sleeping, sweating, moaning, NyQuil-popping mess.
Needless to say I got zero accomplished.
Plus Topher and I are headed to Kansas City this weekend for my birthday, so I won’t be doing any catching up then either. A girl only turns 40 once right?…
It’s finally Spring!!!!
At least it is here in Kansas!
As I have mentioned before, I am not a Fall or Winter girl. Give me green grass and warm weather, and I am one happy camper. I get giddy when I look out and see daffodils and iris poking their heads above ground.
As much as I love flowers, I do not have much of a green thumb, so in order to enjoy the beautiful blossoms, I sometimes have to fake it. I love having flowers on the front door or using them as centerpieces, and some of the projects down below are some of my past favorites….
Welcome to our new series, where some of my blogging buddies and I show you how we decorate a new space without spending a dime. We will each choose a space in our homes and show you, over the next three months, three different ways to decorate it using only items that we already own.
As soon as I took my Christmas decor down, my first instinct was to go out and buy some new goodies to decorate with. My hubby and I had made a pact, starting at the first of the year, that we were going to get rid of a bit of credit card debt that we had accumulated ASAP, so now that the debt diet has begun, my little trips to find new goodies have come to a halt.
At first I was frustrated … who wants to live in a house that doesn’t look nice?
So I decided to shop my own home for some new decor.

Welcome to Throwback Thursday!
Last night Topher and I attended a meeting at the unnamed child’s high school, all about financial aid, grants, and scholarships since the unnamed child will be starting college courses this summer. To say this was a dry meeting is the understatement of the year, and I didn’t understand half of it.
My big takeaway: I can’t believe she’s old enough to be starting college courses! If we ever had any doubt it has been confirmed that we are officially old.
Topher and I are running around today, picking out carpet for the basement. I had no idea how freaking expensive it is! It is desperately needed, and I can’t wait until we get one selected.
We are also hosting our yearly holiday party at our house on Friday night, so we will be cleaning like crazy people of the next two days.
While putting up my Christmas decor, I realized I didn’t have a Christmas wreath. I did have my Pumpkin Topiary, and I needed something to match that.
I wanted to do an ornament wreath last year, but I didn’t have the time … and wasn’t sure quite how to do it. So I decided to go ahead and wing it this year.
