They like to sleep with lots of lights on so I knew I needed to do something so they would not … [Read more...]

This is another delicious recipe I tried this week. This is another version of the power smoothie  that I shared earlier. Similar in the way it energized me but very different in taste.

Recently I found these side tables at garage sales. They were both $5 and I just knew I could make them look nice again. Since we have all new colors in the living room this was the perfect time. I really wanted something unique for the family area. For the large table I wanted to try a “plaid design” on the top. I can not find the picture of the tables before the primer. (Sorry) Here is how … [Read more...]

These make such cute cakes and … [Read more...]

I love the look of floor … [Read more...]
