Raise your hand if you love farmhouse and holiday anything. Then you're going to want to know how to make your own DIY farmhouse bucket and reindeer feed! Growing up one of the best parts of the holiday season was sitting down with my family to watch the Christmas specials, Rudolph being my favorite.

Yes, you read that right. I'm sharing easy DIY Halloween snack cups in June. Let me explain myself. I've decided that this upcoming school year I'm going to be more on the ball. I'm SO happy with our kids' new school, we moved last summer in case you hadn't heard, and I want to get even more involved over there if I can.

How to Dye Pretty Easter Eggs

I can hardly believe it, but it's officially time to pull out the Easter decorations and get the house really ready for Spring. And with that come a few time honored traditions that I just love. Of course, first and foremost, is dyeing real easter eggs. That's right. No plastic eggs here. We dye and hide the real deal! And they also make for the loveliest centerpieces stacked in a bowl on a bed of pretty paper grass. While I love the cute eggs the kids make I also like to go a little outside...

How to recover fabric chairs

Learning how to recover fabric chairs has always been on my DIY bucket list. I've read scores of articles on how to tackle the project and finally decided this weekend to take it on. Of course having four chairs in desperate need might have nudged me a bit. These past few years of eating with toddler boys have left a mess of spills and stains that has gotten out of hand. Cue the embarrassed face when anybody comes for dinner. A few months ago I bought fabric for the chairs and it has sat in a closet...

Having your children reach the age where they are really excited and into Star Wars seems to be a major life milestone.
