May 28, 2015 by Alison 8 Comments

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

May 18, 2015 by Justin Steward 14 Comments

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.

#KeepBuilding With LEGO

May 10, 2015 by Alison 13 Comments

This post isn’t sponsored. I did receive an awesome LEGO Set at the Mom 2.0 Summit that I attended a little over a week ago, but writing a post wasn’t a requirement to receive them. LEGO is just that cool.   I am writing this today because when I think about what LEGO means and what […]
