I get my best ideas when I’m doped up on NyQuil and when I see something I want but not at the price the retailer wants me to pay. For my kids, my husband, and my friends, I’m anything but cheap, but when it comes to things for myself, there’s always somewhere the money could […]
DIY Rustic Photo Display
My mother-in-law’s 60th Birthday was just a couple of weeks ago. My wife wanted to make a photo collage for her and as you know, loves rustic decor. We went to several stores looking for what we wanted, but when we found it, super expensive. Now I’m no interior decorator, but when I realized that […]
DIY Bronzing Body Butter
I’m pasty…like super white unless I tan. I even own my own tanning bed, but it lives in the garage and I never end up making my way out there, at least not on a regular basis. Last year I found an awesome body lotion with just a hint of bronzer which was perfect for […]

Cereal Box Up-cycle: DIY Magazine Holder

Get Organized – Pantry Makeover for Under $40
My pantry scares me. It’s even worse than my bedroom closet which I re-organized a while back. (You can read about that here.) My pantry though, it’s a horrible, evil little cavern in the corner of our kitchen…the kitchen of a manufactured home and an older one at that so as you can imagine, it’s […]
DIY Whipped Body Butter
I’ve seen this idea floating around here and there so I thought it was worth giving it a shot. (Yes, Pinterest people!). None of the recipes or directions were exactly the same, so being the lazy ass that I am I used a little of this and a little of that to come up with […]
Pre-Smocked Dress Tutorial
I’m going to share a dirty little secret. We don’t know how to sew in this house. I mean don’t get me wrong, we can sew on a button, mend a small tear or something minor like that, but actually making something? Umm…not so much…until now that is. See I’ve been telling hubby […]
DIY Fall Wreath for Under $15
Since Halloween is over and I’m not quite ready to put up Christmas decorations, I wanted some decor for the house that represented Autumn and Thanksgiving and the whole fall season. However, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, because as we all know, it’s only a few weeks until Thanksgiving and after dinner […]
