Did you realize that Easter is only 3 weeks away? Oh my gosh...it is totally coming quickly! I think that means that I should take down my Valentine's decorations now, right? Yep, but I still haven't. To motivate myself to move on to the next holiday, I made some glittery wall art for my Spring/Easter mantel. It is the first step in moving on from Valentine's Day (yep, I'm that slow this year). Oh ... Read More about Glittery Easter Wall Art

Easter Mason Jar Cookie Recipe
Now I realize that Easter cookies are not nearly as popular as Christmas cookies(or may not even be a thing), but since I have a thing for M&M's, like to find cute ways to use them, and I love how they look in Mason jars, I decided to try another Mason jar cookie recipe. You may remember the M&M Valentine heart cookie, 4th of July Oatmeal Cookie Recipe in Mason Jar, or if you have ... Read More about Easter Mason Jar Cookie Recipe

She had a plethora of decorative pillows that she had made or been given that matched her old room, but we only had one decorative pillow that matched her new room. I had tons of pictures of pillows that I love and want to make, so I took the opportunity to actually make one of those decorative pillows for her. I had seen a ...

How to Fix Your IKEA Duvet Covers & Inserts (or other duvet covers that are slipping around)
Do you have duvet covers and inserts? Are they like mine...they don't like to play nice? We bought our IKEA duvet covers and inserts and I love having a duvet instead of a comforter, but I didn't love how the duvet was always sliding toward my husband's side of the bed. It left me with the duvet cover and no duvet on part of my side of the bed. It's cold and I need my duvet. I came up with a ...

Is your house overrun with movies like mine was? A year or so ago, I showed you how I organized our movies and saved SOOO much space in my cabinets.

Make Your Own Homemade Pita Chips
Have you ever made homemade pita chips? They are crazy easy to make and in my opinion they taste even better than the store-bought pita chips. In fact, I find these rather addictive and therefore don't make them very often...or I would be as round pita bread. ;-) As you may know if you've read a recipe or two of mine, I love eating as natural and organic as I can on our grocery budget.
