This isn’t so much a DIY because it’s SO stinkin’ simple- but I’m going to call it one anyway! I mentioned earlier this week that I’m going to start using flowers that are actually in season in my area for my monthly floral feature. This month? Being ‘April’ because I’m running late… is tulips! …
Happy Kite Month! You heard right, it’s National Kite Month. Which I think is very fitting, considering how windy April has been here. I loved flying kites growing up, we had an awesome colourful kite we used to take to the park behind our house. It’s been much too long since I’ve flown a kite …
Happy after-Easter! I had a wonderful weekend (we took the Sunday off renovations) relaxing with my family and remembering what Christ has done for us. We took the twins to the park and S got to push them on the swings- even though it was super windy, they had a blast. Then we headed over …
I was going to title this Cheap to Chic- but I’m not sure if anyone uses that word anymore? Or if this even qualifies as chic. But it definitely was cheap! I headed to the dollar store to get plastic eggs to make a garland (as I’ve noticed on Pinterest this year) when I saw …
So, Easter snuck up on me! I was so busy stuffing my face with grilled cheese sandwiches that I didn’t realize it is HERE already. I wanted to do some Easter DIYs and thought eggs are the best Easter DIY out there.
I mentioned earlier this week that it’s national grilled cheese month (I imagine in the US, but Amy made a good point- we should get to celebrate their fun holidays too). So now that I’ve rounded up the most delicious sounding grilled cheeses on the web, I made one of my own. Meet the tastiest …
If you haven’t been inundated with ooey-gooey grilled cheese goodness this past week, you’re about to. That’s because it’s Grilled Cheese Month! What’s more, it’s Grilled Cheese Day on Saturday… so while I’m not going to devote all of April to grilled cheese making (although BS’in the Kitchen …
I’m taking a break from drywall dust to bring you something pretty. But first, can I brag that I framed a wall last week!? Well, I made a wall a few feet longer, but power tools and all- I felt pretty tough. Sticking with my last-minute tradition, here is my March DIY Floral arrangement. If …
So here’s what I’ve been up to! We are so excited to have *finally* bought our new home. We’re over a week into the renos and have another 6 weeks or so to go. I thought I’d share some of the before photos with you so you can see what we’re working with! I’m hoping …
I told ya it was coming! Irises are one of the flowers for February I wanted to tackle arranging. I know, I know- I’m late. But better late than never, no? Growing up, we always had irises in our garden. They always remind me of spring. Between the grasses and the soil, this arrangement gets …
Please forgive me for how many baby pictures are coming your way. But it’s only because they’re wearing the DIY I want to share with you today. Really, that’s why… This weekend I was sorting through Em and Aubrey’s clothes to see what fit and realized I’d bought a pack of white onesies to dye …
I’m sneaking this one in at the last possible moment (darn February for only having 28 days!). Remember in January when I announced my monthly flower series? Well it turns out florists around here don’t sell cut violets (really, I should have known). And the alternate flower for the month is irises which are also …
