My New Pretty Darn Cute Planner!

I’ve been MIA a lot lately because I’ve been hard at work on a project that I am very passionate about. Stationery. After years of buying planners that were cute but not suited for my lifestyle, I finally designed my own. It was way more fun than I ever thought You can check out the Pretty Darn Cute Planner at the PDCD Shop. Or you {Read More}

DIY Coffee Table Turned Into An Ottoman

bandaa

I always say my Mom is the ultimate “Mom” she does it all. If Pinterest were invented when we were kids, she would have had the most pinned items. She made us shirts, she made stained glass art, she sewed, she cooked, the house was always clean, there were always freshly baked cookies… You get the picture. Now that we are “grown up” (I use {Read More}

My Valentine’s Day Baby is Turning 5

Tomorrow my first baby girl turns 5. FIVE. I’m in disbelief. I remember when she was born so vividly. I blinked, and she was all of the sudden 1. We moved for the first time in her life, and she turned 2. We moved, again, and she turned 3! Daddy was able to come home on leave from Iraq for her birthday party and you {Read More}

DIY Paper Garland

I have wanted to make paper garland forever, but all of the tutorials I’ve seen require a sewing machine. That, I do not have. So I finally decided to throw one together with a glue stick and some twine, and guess what? It totally worked! This is really simple, took all of about 10 minutes once I started and adds a little bit of festive {Read More}

DIY Headband and Hairbow Holder Frame

Confession. Before I had little girls, I myself actually wore hair bows. I like to add them in the crease before my “poof”. They’re fun, and sparkly and I like to be fun and sparkly too, y’all! Needless to say, now that I have 2 little sparkling daughters the piles of hair accessories have definitely accumulated and needed some attention. I originally started this project {Read More}

One Little Word

grace

Yesterday I posted that I would not be making a New Years Resolution, but rather have one large goal to work towards that will take care of the rest. While I am definitely sticking with that frame of mind, I also read a blog post from Becki at WhippyCake.com that inspired me to choose “one little word” to remember throughout the year. I encourage you {Read More}

New Years Resolutions

I don’t do them. Too much pressure. I will say, however, that I want to strive each day to grow closer to God and let Him lead me down the path He has prepared for me. So anything and everything I can do to be more obedient is what I’m going to strive for. More quiet time, more time spent with my babies, more patience… {Read More}

Peanut Butter Monster Cookies

I came across a recipe on Pinterest last week that looked delicious, and it was nearly perfect. I just made a few changes and I’m in love. If you’re a peanut butter freak, like myself, then you’ll want to take these to friends so you do not consume them all by yourself. Also, if you are one of those aforementioned peanut butter freaks, you’ll love {Read More}

Perspective

Revelation214

When unimaginably tragic events happen, like they did in Connecticut today, I am reminded that we are only here for a short time. Things do not matter. Money does not matter. Most things in this world are merely a distraction from what is most important. How you treat people matters. We are all God’s children and He loves each and every single one of us {Read More}
