Stay Put Bookmark

Stay Put Bookmark

I love this stay put bookmark. I am a crazy avid reader and this bookmark is awesome! I made one for my sister and my mom too because they also cannot put a good book down and carry their books everywhere with them. I know, I know, in this electronic age who reads “real” books anymore? I do read on my tablet A LOT, but there is just something unique about holding and reading a real book and not an electronic one! So if you are like me and often read from “real” books then this book mark will help you out.

It is perfect, it doesn’t slip out and it holds the pages down on theleft side while you read. It is especially neat because Continue reading

Paint Your Own Rug

Paint Your Own Rug

I love things that are free. Who doesn’t? In my world free is a word that makes my insides do a happy dance. Often times I will bring home things that were free just because they were “free”. My husband is not super excited about this tendency of mine to collect and bring into our home free things that I find. One time I brought a couch home from bulk trash. (where people put things they don’t want in front of their house for garbage pick up) In my defense I was going to recover that couch, it had a cool shape. My husband insisted I take that thing out to the curb before he even got home from work! In his defense, he was probably Continue reading

Lunchbox Notes

Chalkboard Lunch Box Notes

I like to leave my daughter little love notes in her school lunch box for her to find when it’s lunchtime. The school day is so very long, and I want her to have a little verbal hug from me halfway through the day to remind her that she is awesome and I love her. She likes getting these little notes from her momma! I thought it would be cute and fun to paint the lid of her lunchbox with chalkboard paint so we could write notes back and forth to each other. She will get my  lunchbox notes at lunchtime and can write me a little message back and I will get it when I clean her lunchbox out after school!

We did it all last week and it was super fun and has been so positive. This has already been such a great way for me Continue reading

Piano Makeover

Piano Makeover

I have played the piano since I was 7. I took lessons until my junior year in high school when I decided I was way TOO cool, and didn’t have enough time for practicing anymore. I started teaching lessons to kids when I was 15 and haven’t stopped. I currently have 19 students and I LOVE teaching kids (and several select adults – wink) how to play the piano. This instrument has my heart. I love to play and listen to others play, those piano keys Continue reading

Craft Room it UP!

Craftroomcollage

Oh man! Today’s post is like crack for my soul! Yes..I said crack. No..I don’t actually do crack, crack is not a joke. But sometimes there comes along something in my life that makes me feel so happy, that I feel like I am on a high I just don’t wanna come down from. Hence, the crack reference. But just like crack is no laughing matter, neither my friends, is my newly decorated and organized craft room! Every time I enter this room I feel energized and excited. It makes me want to create and never leave. It’s my safe haven in the place I call home. Other rooms in my house are not wholly mine, they get taken over on a daily basis by the little gremlins I call my beloved children. Gremlins that destroy and make messes, whine, cry and generally run amok. My craft room however is above all of that. No whiny gremlin children are allowed. I have placed a strict NO whining and NO crying and NO complaining ban at the doors of said craft room. So far, success! My children are sent packing out of this room as soon as I even get a hint of negativity. This room is my special place. I haven’t had my own room since I was a teenager. I went off to college and had roommates, then got married and gained an eternal roommate who I love to pieces, but let’s face it he Continue reading
