It’s fall, y’all! I know it’s just now September 1, but like I told my favorite Walmart cashier (and yes I have one because she is the sweetest), “if decorating early for fall makes you happy, then by all means, decorate early!” (We also talked about watching Hallmark Christmas movies, but that’s neither here norContinue reading “Fall Home Décor & Living Room Refresh”

Crock Pot Bacon Green Beans
When I was little, I hated green beans. And when I say I hated them – I mean, y’all, I would count them out so I only ate as many green beans as my mom said I had to. Oh, three bites so I could leave the table? The three shortest beans, it was then!Continue reading “Crock Pot Bacon Green Beans”
DIY No-Sew Plastic Bag Holder
If you are like me, you save and reuse those plastic Walmart (or anywhere else) bags. I use them for everything – particularly rough pull-up explosions (because while we are learning to tinkle in the potty, we outright refuse to do the other in the potty), bathroom and bedroom trash can bags, car trash bags,Continue reading “DIY No-Sew Plastic Bag Holder”
DIY Decorative Knife Block
For over a year now, I’ve kept my kitchen and steak knives in a drawer. They were in a silverware separator, at the back of the drawer, and it was the highest possible drawer so that my son couldn’t get to them.

Long & Healthy Hair Care Tutorial
My hair is mega long. Like when it’s straightened, the longest layers are at or past my waist. It’s long and it’s thick – every hair stylist I’ve ever gone to has been like “shew girl, you got some hair.” I haven’t always kept my hair long, but I’ve had it this long twice. TheContinue reading “Long & Healthy Hair Care Tutorial”
Quick Cleaning with a Toddler in Tow
Confession: although I was a SUPER sloppy teen (don’t even get my mother started about my childhood bedroom), I am WAY more focused on cleanliness in this season of life and with a little one around. When my divorce was being finalized and I was looking for a new place to live with my littleContinue reading “Quick Cleaning with a Toddler in Tow”

Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad
I love pasta salad! To be fair, I love carbs, so it might just be that I love pasta… but I do like veggies a lot too, and I really enjoy pasta salad dishes in the summertime. They’re the perfect compliment to a grilled hamburger or a BBQ sandwich! If you’ve been around for aContinue reading “Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad”
5 Bathroom Spots To Lysol Regularly
With COVID-19 hitting the entire globe the past several months, health and cleanliness have been buzzwords and hot topics.
