I was on the phone with one of my sisters the other day talking about getting the littles ready for school. There was one thing in particular she said that caught my attention. Inspired by our conversation about the need to monogram all the things, I decided to find a way to personalize a pair of pillowcases with chalk paint. Here’s what you’ll need in case you want to make a set of your own…
Almost every morning I look forward to an hour filled with devotions, catching up on my favorite blogs, quiet time and a steaming cup of hot coffee. It feels like such a luxury. With the school year about to get in full swing I was looking for a fun way to jazz up our coffee station and these DIY Sharpie Mugs Inspired by the South fit the bill perfectly. Here’s a look at how you can personalize a few coffee mugs of your own…
Any time I see a wooden tray in good condition at a thrift store, estate sale or charity shop, I buy it immediately. We use trays ALL the time. They’re lightweight, easy to clean and the handles make using it for multiple serving options totally fantastic. Here’s how we created a DIY Tea Stain for a Simple Tray Makeover…

We have a few big projects in the works that are going to make things pretty messy around here for a hot minute.

The key to making it all work is…simplicity. Here are a few steps to keep in mind when you’re tackling the laundry room…
Is anyone else feeling this major need to purge and organize in record time? It’s so hard to believe the start of school is just a few short weeks away. While the littles are probably excited about new clothes, new friends and new adventures, I know a lot of us are thinking about those last minute goals on the priorities list that still need to be completed. Here are a few tips on how to keep linen closet organized and maintained…

I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate today than to share the patriotic front porch with you. I normally stick to neutral colors throughout the house but on the porches it’s fun to add a little color. The Fourth of July weekend has always been a special holiday at our house. It always makes me think about the different places we’ve traveled and lived as a military family. It didn’t matter if we were on base or off, the entire weekend was filled with festivities.
