Hey penny pinners! I hope you are enjoying your summer as much as I am! I know I haven’t posted in a long time, but it seems like we are always on the go enjoying this weather as much as possible. I haven’t done many projects lately but I did begin to “awesomify” my kids… Continue reading A Cute and Cozy Reading Nook

Happy Summer! I haven’t posted in a while but I can assure you I have been picking up goodies at my weekend yard sales with big plans in mind (now to find the time to finish them)!

My sister got married this past year and although she had an amazing decorator (shout out to Unforgettable Weddings), she still wanted to incorporate some personal DIY touches. She went to Pinterest and was sure she wanted to make a giant love sign with lights. We weren’t sure where we were going to put it, but… Continue reading DIY Wedding “LOVE” Sign

The Easy Peasy Personalized Pillow

When I was home with my first baby and breastfeeding every couple of hours, I spent a lot of time on the couch watching The Social, browsing Pinterest and dreaming up grand project ideas. As I slowly started to get out of the house, I would pick things up as I saw them (on sale obviously!).… Continue reading The Easy Peasy Personalized Pillow
