Spring Bird Grapevine Wreath with Lace and Ivy

By 13 Comments

This post contains Amazon affiliate links at no cost to you. I can't believe that spring is only a little more than a month away! I love springtime. I enjoy hearing the birds return and seeing trees start to green and early perennials pop up in gardens and on lawns. (I planted some crocus in my front lawn last fall, so I excited to see those bloom.) I decided to make a quick and easy spring bird grapevine wreath to celebrate spring's upcoming arrival! I am sharing this post as part of the Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop. Today my blogging friends and I all will be sharing our own homemade Continue reading...

Pink KitKat Sweetheart Cake

This post contains Amazon affiliate links at no cost to you. This past weekend I wanted to bake a Valentine's Day cake for my family. I thought it would be fun to make a pink KitKat cake - I've seen KitKat cakes on Pinterest and thought they looked great! It turns out one of my twin daughters wanted to do some baking, so she made the cake instead! She did an awesome job! Although I planned this cake for Valentine's Day, I think it'd be awesome for an anniversary or birthday, too! Plus, it's simple to make - this cake is made with cake mix and store bought icing. (Although my daughter did Continue reading...

Hang a Canvas Easily Without Nails (Friday Finds)

By Leave a Comment

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links. This Christmas, one of my teen daughters surprised my husband and me with a portrait of us that she painted. I was amazed by her painting. Her painted canvas is a beautiful depiction of my husband and me on our wedding day. I love it! I immediately wanted to put the canvas up on a wall. I wanted to hang the canvas without nails. (In my experience, there never is a stud in the spot you want to put a picture. Plus, I'd rather not have to get out a hammer.) My husband and I don't have any large framed photos from our wedding day. We couldn't Continue reading...

By 1 Comment

Thanks to NewAir for providing me with the NewAir Whole Room Heater, Whisper Quiet, reviewed in this post. @newairusa #newairusa My daughter has the coldest room in the house. The room juts out from the back of our home and has multiple exterior walls. So it gets quite chilly! I got her an extra comforter this year to help keep her warm at night. But now that she spends most of her days in her room for remote schooling (our school system is all remote currently), she needs more than just a comforter! So I did some research on how to best warm a room this winter. Luckily, the folks at Continue reading...
