Today my sweet little girl is turning 3!!! I can’t believe it’s already been three years. I wish I could freeze her at this age because she is so fun; lots of dressing up, lots of acting out scenes from movies and her mind is amazing, absorbing every piece of information she come across. She is also so loving, telling me she loves me all the time. She is also hilarious. Her personality is definitley showing through, and I love it! This is her in my “bride dress”. 🙂 In honor of… Read More

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Because I love you all so much I have a great giveaway for you today!!! And let me tell you, I am so excited about this review and giveaway!!! I don’t know about you but I really hate builder grade anything. Builder grade flooring, countertops, trim and mirrors, they’re all usually pretty terrible. My husband and I built our first house so there was nothing “builder grade” about it, but when we moved into town and purchased this older home, most of it was builder grade, including the bathroom mirrors. And then one day I… Read More
I know I have shown you pieces of my living room makeover but today I’m going to give you all the details. This post is long overdue, I know. It’s so overdue that I actually had a reader request me to write this post! Here are the facts. My living room before wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great. In our previous home we had a living room and a family room, so all the furniture used to be in two separate rooms. However when we moved into town, and downsized {by over 500 square feet!}, suddenly all the… Read More
Here is another great tip from one of my readers! I don’t have anything with grease spots on it right now, but I kind of want to go put grease on something just to try it out! {Is that weird?} Take it away Joanna… Solution to my grease stains? Drumroll please… GOOP! No, I’m not talking Gwyneth. I’m talking the little tub of wonder, Multi-Purpose Goop Hand Cleaner. It’s been in the back of my mind for a long time; I’ve seen Goop used for years on grease stains, watching my mom slather it all over my… Read More
I recently had a reader ask me how to get deodorant stains out of dark colored clothing. I’m sure that this reader is not the only one with this question. We’ve all put on our perfect little black dress, only to look down and realize that there are deodorant stains under our arms. Right? I actually have two answers to this question. Solution #1 If the deodorant stain has already set then what you need is a little salt. Wet the stained area and sprinkle salt over it. The longer the salt can sit on the stain the better, try… Read More
I have received this question a couple of times so I thought it was time I wrote a post about it. Question: Our front bathroom is pretty much used by our 2 boys. My problem is that I cannot get rid of the “boy bathroom smell.” I scrubbed the bathroom last week, and have made a point to wipe things down and have them do it as well. I even replaced the toilet seats. It makes me want to go in there with a pressure washer full of bleach! Any suggestions on how to get rid of the smell?? I always… Read More
