Since becoming an aspiring minimalist, I have been much more selective in my lifelong curbside-treasure hunting. Much to my hubby’s relief, my collecting habit has been broken for the most part due to my desire for a less cluttered home… But my rescuing heart is not so cold as to leave a gem like this…

Boot Upcycle Mother’s Day Gift (to Myself. hah!)
I’ve been doing crafts with things “normal” people would throw away for ever since I can remember. Little coffee straws would become Barbie toilet paper rolls (plus tissue strips), our military family’s moving boxes would become multilevel doll houses, and “Aim” toothpaste tubes would morph into bracelets with my nickname on them. That’s why it’s…
No-Cook Calming Play-Dough (Gluten free Option)
If you happen to have glycerine, btw, not necessary but adding a few drops will help this be extra stretchy, smooth, and last a bit longer.

DIY Rust Removal without Harmful Chemicals!
I am SO glad my mom showed me how to remove rust this way. I use this method several times a year, and I never need to go out to buy any supplies because they’re right in my KITCHEN so I know they’re safe around kids! All you need are two common household ingredients…watch how…
Is Boredom why Your Kids are Squabbling this Summer?
How’s your summer going, parents? Staying sane and happy? It’s been a bit over a week since we got back from vacation, and I am still trying to get the laundry under control…But at least it’s off the couch today! When a mom’s got work to do, there’s nothing so irksome as squabbling kiddos, eh?! As…
Summer Break: Parents, Don’t let it Break You!
Parents, need ideas to keep kiddos occupied so you don’t go insane…without micromanaging their every move this summer? AND without them being glued to screens? I’ll be honest…I was kind of dreading summer, until I remembered I’m in charge of the way things go, and if I determine to plan a fun summer, I’ll most likely…
A Year in Review
Here’s my recap of the year…plus my little acrylic cardinal in a gum tree painting I did (referencing a photograph I took some years ago to give as a gift this year.) How can it already be the tail-end of 2017? This year was full of changes galore! Aim resolved to ditch coffee at the…
Old Vanity = New Window Seat!
We are remodeling our master bathroom and while I enjoy doing things the frugal way, I didn’t have the energy to paint or refinish the old vanity. But then I had a hard time just taking it to the Re-store or tossing it away. So I told my dad what I was thinking of for…
Creative Therapy!
Here’s the sink herb-garden planter now that the plants are growing! The lily-pad looking plant is nasturtium, a spicy edible leaf and flowering plant (kind of tastes like hot raddishes and you can use the leaves and flowers in salads or sandwhiches. Mine are REALLY spicy so I think I’ll pass. ) There’s kale, baby…
