A Reason To Shine
It’s that time of year again…you know what I am talking about. The time of year when everything seems to pick up pace tenfold and before you know it, the holidays are here in the blink of an eye…literally! This time of year is so much fun getting everything ready for the big day. I…
Starting with Bare Bones: 10 Tips from a First time Upholsterer “I think my wife would love your furniture.” My husband came home last spring from the beginnings of a service project conducted through the company he works for. They were revamping the home of an elderly man to be more wheelchair accessible. The home was cluttered…
I live in this charming, red brick house in a historic neighborhood. At least that’s how I will pitch it when we go to sell next year. However, living in an older home means living with quirky things that construction workers have done away with in change for more convenient materials. For example, lath and…
I am absolutely in love with this time of year. The crisp colors of crimson red, electric yellow and burnt orange as I look out the window at the big maple in the front yard. The football games and cool nights where you need a blanket to snuggle! I love that it gets dark earlier…
Can you believe we’re almost halfway through October? If this month snuck up on you, like it did me, you’re probably in need of a quick Halloween home makeover. I tried out a Halloween version of these Patriotic Mason Jar Lanterns I found over at Addicted 2 DIY and loved them so much I did…
Hello, my name is Amanda and I’m a Pinterest Addict. I adore Pinterest. It is full of so many fun, cute and clever ideas. There are so many pins I come across that make me say “Why didn’t I think of that?!?” And then there are some that make me wonder “This is too good to be true”…
“Our kids will never experience Holiday decorations,” my husband said to me while at Target the other week. Yes, even my husband knows that I was born without a creative bone in my body. When it comes to Holidays or entertaining I can plan, organize, dress the part, and prepare ALL the food down to…
I love to play card games. In fact, love may be a gross understatement. I think the best free fun you can have with a group of any size is to play a card or board game. When I get together with all of my Idaho cousins we all sit around my aunts kitchen table…
Fathers Day is coming up soon! In our family, Father’s Day and Mothers Day are simple occasions where we let the kids make some crafts or projects for their parent, and the other parent plans a family meal. We don’t really go overboard on presents or elaborate ideas. If your family celebrates simply, here are…
Spring has taken forever to arrive this year. Thankfully Easter is just around the corner! Hooray!!! It’s possible that Easter just might be my new favourite Holiday. Step aside skulls and pumpkins and frosty window pains, and make way for flowers and eggs and pastels!!! As I touched on in my earlier post, I’m not…
A few years ago, I was hanging out with my nieces when suddenly I was enchanted with pixie dust . They were watching the Tinker Bell movie that had just come out and I got sucked in right along with them. There was something about the little tiny miniature world that they lived in that…
Three cheers for Spring! And if you feel like I do, your cheers are accompanied by some cartwheels, a fist pump and a toyota jump or two, just for good measure. I am loving soaking up the sunshine and breathing the fresh air. Celebrating all this springy goodness is getting me excited to celebrate the…

I feel like this winter is dragging on foreeeeeeever…. And I really needed a spring pick-me-up. Living in Virginia has made me so spoiled- I survived Montana winters most of my life. Now I’m dying for buds to start popping out of the trees and ground! So in the meantime, I made some beautiful, colorful…
I always wished that I could paint. I took lots of classes in design school to be able to communicate my ideas and sketch out my vision for a space, but the true artists touch never made it to my hands. Luckily I found an app where I can create the look of a watercolor…
