Easy Patio Planter Posts for String Lights
Thanks to Thompson's for providing the Waterseal Waterproofing Stain used in this post. I've always wanted to add extra lighting to my home's patio. When we moved in, our patio only had the one light fixture by the back door, which did little to light up the patio. Last summer I put up simple patio planter string light posts that I secured with Sakrete (quick setting concrete) in planters and hung string lights from. Last week I decided to add a few more DIY patio planter posts and an extra length of string lights. I chose Edison-style outdoor string lights for my DIY string light Continue reading...

In the winter, I like to do what I can to feed the birds. I decided to create a quick and simple bird feeder using an old plastic jar, chopsticks and twine. My daughters and I love to watch the birds eat from our bird feeders from our living room bay window. , Meet the co-hosts My Husband Has Too Many Continue reading...

DIY Inspiration Board
This post was sponsored by Chalkola, which supplied me with chalk and window markers in exchange for my review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. A week ago I went for a normal checkup that turned up some unexpected results. I'm still undergoing tests. It doesn't look like I'll get a total clean bill of health, but I'm hoping for the best. I've been a bit worried the past few days, so I've decided to put together a quick and easy inspiration board. I figure that the board can help me focus on the blessings and pluses in my life. (Like my family, home and friends.) Inspiration Continue reading...
