We bought a camper, we have joined the club

Comment

We finally bought ourselves a camper. I have camped since I was little in a tent and always LOVED it but my husband and I have different ideas of "camping". My idea? Nice little campsite.. public bathrooms.. campfire.. His idea? Pooping in a hole in the middle of the woods and no hook ups. Needless to say we have never camped together since we got married. We needed a "middle ground" so to speak Continue Reading...

Southern Slang and What They Mean

Comment

 I grew up in Georgia.. I still live in Georgia.. I never want to leave the South. People here are AMAZINGLY sweet and sassy and it's a culture you can't help but love. With that culture comes some of the greatest saying you may ever hear, to us Southerners it's just normal talk but to others I realize the southern slang may not be so easy to understand. I am here to help with Continue Reading...

Thrift Store Friday Finds #ThriftStyle

1 Comment

I love thrift stores. I adore thrift stores. Really I could live in them if some didn't have such a funky smell from used items... but that's totally worth it for all the fun goodies they carry! What I Found: This week I was in need of some photo props and instead of paying full price I hit up the thrift stores instead and found some great items! Two barely used cutting boards, one gravy boat Continue Reading...

Slow Cooker Southwest Chili

Comment

I am not a chef, I don't pretend to be a chef (ok sometimes) but I can at least make some durn good chili! Haha.

This slow cooker southwest chili is beyond delicious and so amazingly easy you won't want to tell your friends how you Continue Reading...

Thrift Store Friday Finds

Comment

So the hubby and I are big thrift store shoppers. Really I love anything old and used and cheap (not cheap, but cheap.. totally makes sense, right?). So every week we take an afternoon together for a "date day" which includes combining his love of plundering and my love of discounts and this week we had some great finds! My all time favorite is this clock old fan that doesn't work combo. It's Continue Reading...

DIY Cinnamon Candle

One of my favorite scents during Fall and Winter is cinnamon, I would honestly burn it all year long if my husband didn't oppose it (instead we agree on Vanilla in the summer). I decided this year I wanted to make my own cinnamon candle and it was SO easy and smells absolutely amazing!

My husband and I made this as a gift for Mother's Day for my mother a few months back and i've been slacking on actually getting a post done about it, so here it is finally! I will admit, this idea came from a coupon ;) there was a deal to get a free photo collage so I made some of my daughter and nephew, I tried to think of a good way to display them besides the typical picture frames and it hit Continue Reading...

How to Paint Mason Jars

3 Comments

A few weeks ago I painted some Mason jars for organizing and I loved the matte look but I wasn't too fond of it for a vase or anything with a more practical use since the matte style tends to scrape off easily, I wanted that glossy Mason Jar look and feel to it! So instead of painting the outside of the jar.. I went with the inside and it was SO MUCH easier and the end result is fabulous! How to Continue Reading...

Kitchen Decor Ideas – DIY Shopping List Board

1 Comment

I have been in desperate need of a shopping list in my kitchen, the pads on the fridge always seemed to disappear for card night and end up getting lost so I needed a new solution! I thought of the roll of paper I have for my toddler from Melissa and Doug and I knew it would be perfect but, obviously, just the roll of paper wasn't enough.. it needed some style, some pizzazz to make it the perfect Continue Reading...
