Rob and I have gotten to where we go to the flea markets an awful lot. We actually went 2 days in a row to 2 different ones a few weeks ago, largely so that we can work on better socializing Ollie with strangers. You see he’s always a bit wary of new people and…
DIY Marbled IKEA Vilmar Chair
Read moreI absolutely love IKEA and I can spend ages in there. So can my Momma and so can Rob. Which means last visit to Houston we went to IKEA not once, but twice over, like, 5 days. And one of those days we were there enough hours that we could have clocked in like a…
Homemade Orange Oil
Read moreIt’s pretty dang neat but oranges actually grow here. And lemons and limes and all of that jazz does really well here, too. There are these little oranges that you can get at the store for like 8 for $1 and Rob and I have been going nuts on them. We’re also getting after blood…
Hexagon Succulent Terrarium
Read moreThe master bedroom is coming along quite nicely. I’m super stoked about how well everything is fitting together, including my DIY creations.

$6 Throw Ladder for Beginners
Read moreRight now I’m all about 2 things. Feathering this nest. Using the mitre saw Rob bought. Well, technically I’m all about Rob using the mitre saw for me and since I’m as clumsy as they come. It seems better to watch him cut my boards for me for a weensy bit longer before I get…
Simply Add Desk Storage
Read moreSo it totally went down like this… Rob and I looked very hard for a 4 bedroom house for us to live in because we really need all of those rooms. My parents live the closest to us at 355 miles away. My Mimmie, Leslie and Lisa are the next closest at 618 miles. Then my sister, brother-in-law…
2 Ingredient Carpet Deodorizer
Read moreThe older I get the more wary I am about chemicals. Maybe it’s the sheer amount of medication I’ve been taking for all of my adult life. When you hear, this medication that you have no choice but to take contains harsh chemicals that will probably make you lose your hair, you suddenly realize that a healthy…
