People generally act like I’m some crazy hippie when they find out that I make the laundry detergent for our home. The same general reaction comes along with the news that I clean almost solely with vinegar and steam, use cloth diapers, and buy as little paper product as possible. So, I’m a . . . → Read More: Homemade Laundry Detergent I’m nearing my third trimester now and I’m ashamed to say that I am totally unprepared for baby Q! If he came early, I’d be in a heap of trouble! I know that babies really only need a place to sleep, diapers, and food. That being said, you should see Quentin’s room. We’ve been . . . → Read More: Quentin’s room I rarely do tutorials and now you’ll see why. My camera is a cell phone component (only for a few more days!) and I always forget to take a shot of important steps. This tutorial was especially difficult to complete, since black on black doesn’t photograph well. But here goes anyway… My mom is . . . → Read More: Saints Wreath TUTORIAL!

Fortunately, you couldn’t really tell once I tried it in my hair. I was leery of doing any more . . . → Read More: Clippity Dippity Do Inspired by the ribbon and pearl necklaces seen all over the web, I had an idea to make my own version from a couple of things around the house I’d been wanting to repurpose.

I have a running list of DIY projects that I want to try. On that list was mod-podging (of course that’s a verb) a clipboard. I think it turned out great, but I learned a lot of things and will do some things a little differently next time. I don’t think there’s a need . . . → Read More: Check that off the to-try list! A couple weeks ago, I ran across this felt play mat on A Girl and a Glue Gun and knew it would be the perfect birthday gift for my stepson Jude.

We got into Hattiesburg over . . . → Read More: Parenting, shopping, and being conned: Just another day 1. I’m so excited that it’s finally time for Independence Day! It’s by far my favorite holiday. I like to don my patriotic colors and celebrate. We’re doing things a little differently this year, which normally would disappoint me. But I’m on a new positive kick… at least I’ll be able to enjoy an . . . → Read More: Tuesday Ten [6.29.2010] 1. Tomorrow, my stepson will be here for a week, and I am not mentally ready for another preschooler to be under my care! That’s today’s mission… get prepared! 2. First thing in the mornings, before I can open both eyes, before I’ve had coffee or coke, before I know where I am, who . . . → Read More: Tuesday Ten  |
