I have been loving all the fun mason jar crafts and fall mantles I've been seeing on Pinterest, and have been wanting to make some of my own! So when my daughters and I collected a whole bunch of nuts from underneath a local tree, I knew I had a project on my hands! (I think the nuts are hazel nuts, but I am not sure!) My Fall Mantle I had just started my fall mantle, so I thought some autumn mason jar candles would be a good addition! I first got started with my fall mantle by adding fall-themed stickers to an inexpensive stretched burlap canvas that I had purchased at my Continue reading...

Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher Review
It’s been about a year since a new Bosch Ascenta dishwasher from Lowe’s has been installed in my home's kitchen. so far, it's been working great. The dishwasher is super quiet, and to date, it’s working well. I often use the delay start on my new Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher, and it works fine. Smaller, More Frequent Loads One possible drawback I’ve found to the Bosch Ascenta dishwasher is that the rack space in the dishwasher is much smaller than the space I had in my old GE dishwasher. But this drawback has turned out to be a plus for me. I used Continue reading...

Living Room Ideas
For years, I have been trying to figure out what to do with my home’s living room. The long, narrow room leads from my home’s front door to the kitchen and the family room in my open-concept home. Since the room is a main thoroughfare in my home, I haven’t wanted to block the flow of traffic with furniture. So, I've been searching for small living room ideas. Plus, when my kids were tots, the carpeted living room space, which is just off the kitchen, was a great place for them to play. (That is why today, two toy chests still sit in the living room.) The only other furniture pieces of Continue reading...
DIY Jewelry Organizer
I've seen a lot of DIY jewelry organizers on Pinterest and on other blogs, and I love them. So, when I was at the dollar store the other day and saw the materials I needed to make my own DIY jewelry organizer, I snapped them up. First, I picked up a simple $1 black document frame with silver trim. Then, I found some silver thumbtacks, also for $1. I figured that the thumbtacks would add a little bling to my DIY picture frame jewelry hanger. MY DIY Jewelry Organizer Later that day, while catching some TV with one of my daughters, I decided to get started on my picture frame jewelry Continue reading...
Rainbow Loom Organization
The rainbow loom craze has hit my home! I love that my daughters are having so much fun crafting their rainbow loom bracelets, but I soon discovered that we seriously needed something to organize all of my children's rainbow loom supplies! We used to keep my kids' rainbow loom rubber bands in one big plastic takeout container, but that system didn't work too well. All of my kids' different rubber band colors were all jumbled together in that container, so sorting out the colors that they needed was a long process for my kids! Rainbow Loom Rubber Bands Organized I found the Continue reading...

Fall Favorite Things
Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am excited about fall and the fun activities that my family and I can share together the next few months. So to get in the spirit of the season, I decided to share 12 of my fall favorite things -- what I love most about this time of year: 1. Fall walks in the woods and the sight and smell of autumn leaves pixelperfectdigital.com 2. Watching my kids make huge piles of leaves in the yard to jump in 3. Brewing cups of mulled apple cider for my kids 4. Snuggling under warm comforters on cool autumn nights 5. Fall movie nights with Continue reading...
Quick and Healthy School Lunches
I make my kids' school lunches daily, and it's not uncommon for me to be up until 11 p.m. or later making my kids' meals for the next school day. But I just saw some great tips by online that will make packing my kids' school lunches a breeze! To pack lunches quickly and easily, all I need to do is place a protein (yogurt or cheese, hummus, or cubes of chicken, etc.), fruit, and veggies that are washed and ready to go in small containers for my fridge. I also can assemble small snack containers (with pretzels, Goldfish, etc.) that my kids can choose. In the morning, all they need to do is Continue reading...
