One Bathroom Down, Two to Go!
Okay, I’m ready to start remodeling the next bathroom, but my husband isn’t. After all, he’s the one that did all the painting and tiling and vanity installing. But I’m still doing my part. The research! Specifically, bathroom vanities. Our current master bathroom is atrocious. Plain ugly off white counter tops with white painted over…
Tackle it Tuesday: Bathroom Makeover
When we bought our new home this was my least favorite room in the house. (Yes, that’s carpet in the bathroom.) Do I really need to explain why? Didn’t thing so. And it’s the guest bath, right off the entry way, so there was no way to hide it! Well, it finally got a makeover…
Carpet Fresh Super Pet Odor Eliminator
We’re almost settled into our new big home though boxes are still piled up in a couple of rooms. I love the hardwoods in the kitchen and hallway. My dog seems to love the carpet since he christened almost every room in the house! At first we didn’t know what was going on. Did the…
Keep Your Family Safe Online and Win an iPod Touch!
PENSIEVE has a great review up about Norton Online. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to protect my kids online and monitor their viewing. Norton Online is an answer to prayer.My kids are spending a lot more time online lately and since I moved the computer from the kitchen to downstairs, I can’t keep…
Auctions ROCK!
For years we talked about going to auctions, but we never did. Until this year when we had a big house and needed some furniture. I mentioned before how my hubby surprised me for my 40th b-day with this set. Well, last month it was finally time we got a bedroom set and moved from…
Cash 4 Gold so I’m Told!
I’ve always wondered what to do with my old, broken gold jewelry. I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away, so it sits in my drawer, waiting. For what? Who knew until I saw that commercial during the Super Bowl. Cash 4 Gold You know the one with Ed McMahon. Didn’t he used to give…
Making A Queen Size Comforter Into a King
It’s my FIRST Tackle It Tuesday and since I have a new/old home to fix up, I’m gonna have a lot to tackle. I bought this queen sized bedspread after this incident and ruined my old one. We were planning on getting a new bedroom set, but this set was half off and I paid…
Crafts n Things Magazine
I’m what you call a crafty person, not an artist, though I took advanced art in high school. I never had the “gift” but I loved to create. From crocheting dolls’ clothes as a child to Creative Memories as an adult, I loved to make things. My three youngest, especially my second born, share my…
My Birthday Present and Room Dilemma Solved!
About a month ago I mentioned my hubby bought me couches for my birthday. Walking through an auction viewing, I said in passing, “These would work well in the formal living area.” But I thought nothing of it after that. Well, to be honest I thought “we can’t afford these so why even dream about…
Themed Dinners
I’d like to be able to take credit for this, but I can’t. Years ago, I subscribed to several magazines and always tore out pages of ideas, put them in a three ring binder and then never looked at them again. Well, with the internet so convenient and our recent move, I thought I didn’t…
