This post has been compensated by Collective Bias, INC. and The Coca-Cola Company, all opinions are mine alone. #ServeWithACoke #ShopRite #CollectiveBias I love this time of year -- the cooler temperatures, the beautiful yellows and oranges of mum and pumpkins and the falling autumn leaves.

I've pushed myself too hard in past school years. Continue reading...

fall living room with colorful DIY pillows

Styling a Sofa with Throw Pillows

By

I love to decorate my home. I especially like making new throw pillows or sewing throw pillow covers for the pillows on my living sofa. That's because I've discovered that switching out the throw pillows in a room is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to decorate a room.     For instance, the above photo shows how I decorated my home's living room last fall. The colorful blue and yellow patterned pillows are the brown thrown pillows that came with the sofa -- I simply covered them with DIY envelope pillow covers. (Check out my envelope pillow cover tutorial for more Continue reading...

Post Bunion Surgery & Toe Spacer

This post contains Amazon links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I earn a small fee that helps run this blog. Last summer I had bunion surgery for a severe bunion on my right foot that I've had since I was about 10. During the surgery, the surgeon inserted pins in three of my toes. I was hoping that my foot would be perfect after surgery, but now, more than a year later, I'm back in physical therapy for an often sore and swollen foot.  This is what my foot looked like last July, one day after my bunion surgery. My foot felt like it was improving for a while, Continue reading...
