  The home we currently live in has gone through three renovations. We just wrapped up the third, and the second largest in the house at 1,700 sq. foot. While the house looks great, there were a lot of bumps along the way. Renovating a home is not like an HGTV design show where a crew comes in to knock down a wall or two, paint goes up, you have fun with all of the finishes, and you come in under budget. It is a long, messy, stressful project that can get away from you if you let it. Get At Least 3 Bids Before Choosing a Contractor It is important to get more than one bid so that you can compare...
Let's hit that Louisiana style quarantine drinkin' - change ya consons', put your night time jammies on, get the kiddos to bed, put on a live Concert on da Facebooks to jam, and whip out the booze! I have had this Mint & Lemon Verbena from Cocktail & Sons for a while and I figured it is time to try to make a Mint Julep. So I texted some friends to see what kind of whiskey I needed, they recommended a Bourbon Whiskey and this Benchmark was on sale {Mais, I can't pass up a good sale}, none of us know what bitters are but we will get it any way to follow the recipe, then I picked it all...
It's no secret to anyone that knows me, I love a good deal! Spend the night at a new Chick fil a for a year of free chicken? Done! Stand in line at a new Zaxby's for a year of freebies? Done! Scan the barcode for a $10 off coupon? Done! So seven years ago, my husband and I had been married for four years. We were working our tails off to be rid of debt. One day my sister-in-law came to work talking about making her own laundry detergent and how awesome it was and how little it cost her. Immediately I was intrigued, but I felt intimidated to try on my own. A few months passed, I...
Valentine's Day is almost here, and there is some counting down going on over here. I am not so much on receiving Valentine's Day gifts: flowers, chocolates, and cards. Don't get me wrong here. I do love my chocolate and flowers, but Valentine's Day is so much fun when celebrating it with my kids. This Valentine's Day Foaming Hearts Activity is the perfect addition to our Valentine's Day festivities.  I try to make a day out of this holiday. Yes, I am cheesy with pink heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast and all. All About Those Hearts Valentine's Day cannot be celebrated without some sort of heart shape included. This activity is one that shouldn't be ignored. It only takes 3 simple ingredients and...
I can't believe Thanksgiving is already here. This year has gone by too fast! My kids have already gone through the Toys R Us magazine circling what they want for Christmas, which is EVERYTHING. If you are looking for a fun and easy Thanksgiving craft to do with your kids that incorporates the meaning of being thankful, this thankful turkey craft is perfect. Items Needed I was able to find all the items I needed at Walmart for under $5. Any craft under $5 is always a win in my book. I grabbed felt sheets in 5 different colors, 1 sheet of brown foam paper, and adhesive googly eyes. I already had a sharpie/markers, scissors and glue at home. Steps to the...
