I almost always make hot process soap these days mainly because I don’t know we need more until we’re almost out. My family knows that I need a few weeks to make soap but for some reason they just can’t be bothered to say anything when we start running low. *Note to self: set a…
I’m always talking about how much painting I knew I would have to do when we purchased our current home. It was builder beige EVERYwhere. And what wasn’t builder beige was just not quite right (but that’s a story for another post). One of the 1st rooms that really needed a change was the family…
When I started gardening it was really an experiment for me. Even though I grew up grandparents & great-grands who grew most of their own food & even raised animals for food, I could not even manage to keep houseplants alive for long. I just loved them to death! Now 4 years into my own…
I’m a wine drinker. And I save my corks. Originally I did it to keep track of what we like & what we don’t, but over the years it turned into something else. Something more… a few crafts, a few hacks, and these nifty little customizable drawer dividers. Drawer organizers have never been so easy…
Like most folks, life has changed a lot in our home. I have my home office but now I’ve had to add 2 more office spaces for our youngest who is in virtual school since March & for my Mr. who has been working from home since March. Until now, they had been working at…

Last week I was supposed to work on the the all important DIY no-sew upholstery project for the my cousin’s loveseat. Naturally, it just wouldn’t have been right if there were no issues AT ALL with that process. All I was able to do is remove the old upholstery at that time. Thank goodness for…
Hi friend! If you’ve been here before welcome back! If you’re new here, thanks so much for stopping by! Today I’m talking about DIY kitchen cleaners. If you’ve been here before, you already know that I am a natural purist (mostly). It all started with my natural hair & it’s love affair with castile soap….
I grew up in an extended family home where my grandparents grew their own food & cooked everyday. They loved gardening, so – surprise surprise – they had a compost pile too. I DID NOT like the compost pile & just really hated when it was my turn to take out the scraps. I never…
Hey y’all! A couple of years ago I made a custom reversible headboard slipcover for the wood bed in our master bedroom. The project was part of the One Room Challenge & I promised a fellow blogger friend that I would share how I made it. That was 2 years ago & I have finally…
