My New Aqua Bench!
So, I had this bench… Nothing too spectacular – it was something my husband’s grandma gave us and I hoped we could find a place for it. Inadvertently, it became the place we put our shoes on and was actually really helpful in our living room. I wanted to add some more color to our living room (it’s a lot of gray, gray, gray), so I decided to paint it. Luckily, during the month of March, Ace Hardware was giving away quarts of their new Clark + Kensington paint and I made sure to get down there bright and early for my...

So sorry about the lack of a Creative Genius Link Party this weekend! I was helping with a Women’s Conference at my church and was crazy busy…and so fun! We had a fabulous weekend, but I literally didn’t even touch my computer all weekend. It was lovely. The link party will be back this coming weekend!

It’s one of my favorite quotes from “Anne of Green Gables” – one of my absolute favorite movies ever. I thought it encompassed the idea of Spring/newness/freshness. I know it’s a good reminder to me when I see it each morning, especially to offer my kiddos a clean slate each day. click here to download the 8.5 x 11...

What’s For Dinner is a weekly post that highlights the best & worst recipes I made for dinner over the last week. Best things I made: Stacked Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas - We are definitely meat eaters in this house, but the pictures of these enchiladas looked good enough for me to give it a try. And they were delicious. I didn’t have any fresh spinach on hand, so mine were just the tortillas, salsa, roasted veggies and cheese. Even my meat-loving hubby loved them and said he didn’t even notice they were meatless. I...

read more“Can you paint a lampshade?”
I wasn’t really sure when I suggested this idea to my SIL. She couldn’t find a cute pink lampshade for her new daughter’s nursery anywhere. I have painted lots of things before, so I suggested…”How about we paint one? Can you paint a lampshade?” We decided to give it a go. She had purchased a plain white one, but really wanted it to match the girly decor of the room. Specifically, she wanted pink and bling. So, we bought some pink acrylic craft paint and started painting. I taped off the edges with...

My friend and I spent our day making last minute Easter baskets for our kiddos. We’ve had plans to make these for the last 2 weeks, but sickness has kept pushing our craft day back. Finally today we did it. Inspired by Ashley from Lil Blue Boo, we bought crates from Michael’s (with a coupon) and painted, distressed and added the kid’s...
