Dollar Store DIY Bunny Planters
Sometimes life gets in the way of creative time, and that has definitely been the case for me recently!

How to Make DIY Glitter Luggage Tags (Without the Mess!)
Spring break is coming up soon, and my family really hoped to take a vacation to escape the unusually cold winter weather! Unfortunately for us that won’t be happening, but it did get me dreaming of jetting off to some place fabulous (or even somewhere lame – basically just going anywhere!). With wanderlust in my […]
How to Make a Fake Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree Look Real
Though I would love to be one, I am not a plant lady. All plants have a hard time surviving in my care. So when I updated my living room last month and decided to add a fiddle leaf fig tree, I knew I needed to go fake. I know there are others of you […]

My little girl is growing up! It’s hard to believe how fast it happens, and I know any parent out there can relate! My daughter moved into her “big girl room” shortly before she turned two (to make room for her new brother in the nursery), and we hadn’t updated her bedroom since then. Because […]

How to Make Scrap Wood Nesting Houses for Decor
On Saturday I made my weekly pilgrimage to Dollar Tree. (Don’t laugh – that place is thebomb.com (yes, I’m bringing that expression back)). While there, I found a NEW and EXCITING product – moss sheets! I know that sounds funny, but moss sheets for crafting are typically expensive, so I was ecstatic to find them […]
Simple Winter Decor Ideas
Now that the holidays have come and gone, you’ve probably packed away your seasonal decorations (or are just about to), and are left staring at a home that looks and feels somewhat bare.

How to Make a Beautiful Wreath Bow {Video Tutorial}
What’s a wreath without a bow? (Probably still a beautiful wreath, but humor me here, OK?) I think we can all agree that the cherry on top of most wreaths is a pretty bow.
