My Closet – One Year After Using the KonMari Method

In December of 2015, I had had it. I was fairly tidy in all areas of my home with the exception of one space…my closet. I was basically dressing out of a laundry basket every single day because I hated putting my clothes away THAT much. It’s been a year since I started using the KonMari Method of Decluttering.

How to Make a Monogrammed Tea Towel

In early January, my bestie S babysat my little dogs so I could be out of town. My oldest dog struggles with canine dementia and can be a lot of extra work.

Tips for Shopping Renninger’s Extravaganza

In yesterday’s post, I shared 17 Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a list of easy and mostly budget friendly gifts to celebrate the day. One of the first ideas on the list was “Take a Trip.” If you live in Florida or plan to visit and haven’t had the chance to explore Mount Dora yet, I highly recommend it. While you’re there, you should also experience the massive outdoor sale at Renninger’s Extravaganza which happens only three times a year.

When Love Shows Up

When Love Shows Up

Let me just start off by saying this is not the post I had originally intended to write. After sharing posts from my mom’s birthday brunch this week, I fully intended to share a magical birthday experience of my own. But this post isn’t about any of that at all. This post is about how love showed up and saved my milestone birthday…

DIY Drink Charms for the Busy Girl

DIY Drink Charms for the Busy Girl

All of the elements of the tablescape for the birthday brunch came together fairly easily but there was one small detail that gave us a little bit of trouble. We had to figure out how to delineate the glasses the kids were using from the glasses the adults would be using so there wouldn’t be any drink mix ups. We decided to make monogramed drink charms that took mere minutes to make. Here’s a look at how you can make your own DIY Drink Charms if you’re a busy girl too…

But as the party drew near, I just couldn’t let her celebrate the day without a cake that was a little more substantial. I decided to create the easiest breakfast birthday cake ever and I’ll show you how to make one too…
