We are a somewhat non-traditional household when it comes to gift giving holidays. Many times we decide what the family wants as a whole and purchase that, or sometimes purchase a “need” (depending on hubbies projects at the moment... usually a power tool). We prefer to invest in something that will be used and enjoyed versus cards, flowers, stuffed animals... you know the drill. This year I was brainstorming ways for the kids to connect with … [Read more...]
Home Makeover | Comfy Sack “Bean Bag” Chair Review
by
Home Makeover with Comfy Sack “Bean Bag” Chairs I’m sure most of us have experienced a traditional bean bag chair at some point in our lives. I remember from my childhood nestling into them during silent reading time at school. I also remember being a little rough with them and jumping into/on them and having little white polyurethane beans flying everywhere. I am positive the adults in our lives did not enjoy cleaning up that mess and … [Read more...]

Spring Home Makeover with La-Z-Boy La-Z-Boy | More Than Your Daddy’s Recliner | Sectional Shopping What is the first thing you think of when someone says La-Z-Boy? Be honest... You pictured a big overstuffed rocker recliner that your Daddy has/had in the corner of the living room or in his man cave, right? I know that is what I (mostly) thought of until recently. I had heard that La-Z-Boy offered regular seating, but I … [Read more...]

Crocs For The Entire Family From Planet Shoes Summer is finally here (can you hear the kids across the country screaming “yeah!” ?).

The little kids needed them because their feet grow like weeds and nothing fit, the rest of us wanted new sandals either from wear or boredom (aka teenagers). Planet Shoes became my one … [Read more...]

Spring Home Makeover | The Simple Stencil Custom Vinyl Wall Transfers Review
by
Spring Home Makeover with Simple Stencil Today my bedroom makeover continues with the walls. If you remember, yesterday I showed you how I transformed my bed into an inviting nest. My room “before” was just a place to lay your head and wasn’t inviting in the least. To me, it felt outdated, run down and mismatched. To begin the makeover, Kaytlin and I gave the walls a good coat of chocolate brown paint to match the brown in the … [Read more...]
Spring Home Makeover | Bedding, Pillows & Sheets from Sleepys Review
by
Spring Home Makeover with Sleepys When we moved into our house ten years ago, I was on a decorating spree. I made sure everyone in the house had a place of their own that they loved... but neglected our bedroom. I had thrown up the curtains and wall décor from the old house and when our bed spread wore out I purchased the cheapest one in green I could get. When Amy and I started planning our Spring Home Makeover, I instantly thought of the … [Read more...]
