Hoop, there it is! Since we're in the middle of March madness, I figured a little basketball humor was appropriate for today's post. Speaking of basketball, the highlight of my kids' spring break this week was having a FREE basketball hoop discovered on the side of the road and delivered to our driveway by their grandfather & uncle.

How to Transform Your Kitchen for Spring
As I write this, it is currently snowing like a fiend and the sun is simultaneously shining outside. Talk about an oxymoron if there ever was one! But doesn't it seem fitting for this time of year?

Mason Jar Ring Wreaths
I'm back with another mason-jar inspired project for you this week, this time using a different part of the mason jar you may not have expected...the lid rings! When I first saw this idea, it was done with old rusty canning rings, and I was hooked. I love me some rusty junk decor! But I know it's just not everybody's thing. So I thought about a … [Read more...]
Spring Family Room
I'm not sure why, but this year spring seems to be slowing creeping its way back into Wisconsin, and in no hurry whatsoever. You know the sloth from the movie Zootopia?

Happy Friday and Happy Earth Day to you! This has been a whirlwind of a week and I just realized how quickly it literally flew by.

I'm just as excited as … [Read more...]
Happy Spring to Ewe!
Nothing says springtime quite like baby animals. Earlier this week, we had a chance to visit my grandparent's neighbors, Marilyn & Terry, who live on an adorable little farmette in the town of Merton. My kids love coming here. Have I mentioned before we are big animal lovers? I do believe my kids would choose to live here and do chores for free … [Read more...]
Naked Carrot Cake
Let me just start by saying...I apologize that I tend to open every post talking about the weather here in southeastern Wisconsin, but I do believe that Mother Nature has been majorly confused lately! The first few weeks of April have been colder and more snowy than much of our winter even was! All last week I felt so sorry for all the bewildered … [Read more...]
