Our last box of dishwasher detergent ran out this weekend; instead of buying some I decided to make my own! It turned out to be super simple and cheap, the most expensive item is the citric acid so I need to find a cheaper way to buy that. Here is the recipe: 1 cup Borax […]

DIY Welcome Mat
I’ve been in search of a new welcome mat for our front door. I haven’t found exactly what I wanted, so I made my own! This turned out to be a simple project and just took a few minutes to complete. Below is the tutorial of how to make your own welcome mat. I made […]
DIY Rosewater & Eye Makeup Remover
My rose bush is blooming like crazy right now and I had a few flowers which were about to drop all their petals. I remembered that Nourishing Joy had posted a recipe for making Rosewater to use as face toner so I decided that I was going to try it out. I’m also almost out […]
Craft Room Reveal
Brad and I moved into our house almost 4 years ago. When we moved in, Brad and I each claimed an extra bedroom as “our room” to do whatever we wanted. Brad’s room has since been changed into a guest room and all his computer stuff moved into our joint office, but I still have […]

A couple years ago I painted our downstairs bathroom two different shades of green but as I […]
Measuring Spoon & Cup Organization

Clothespin Picture Holder
An exciting Saturday night of crafts! Renee and I ventured out to the craft store Saturday evening with a mission to make a clothespin picture holder. We also learned that clothespins are available at the dollar store and are a TON cheaper than the craft store. Our goal for these are to show off pictures […]
Welcome Sign
About a month ago I went to IKEA to return a couple items, when I walked in I discovered that they were having a garage sale of sorts. They had a bunch of doors and drawer fronts that were all $1! I knew that these would be perfect for some sort of project so I […]
