Sometime over the summer my mom expressed interest in a two toned bracelet. Something I was interested in making! I didn’t want to just swap a silver strand for a gold one on the braided chain bracelet I made earlier this year. We checked out different chains and decided to weave a gold snake chain through a double chain. Continue reading “DIY Woven Two-Toned Chain Bracelet”
Last week was my mom’s birthday and she and my dad came to visit. We decided to have a craft day on Saturday and it was so fun! We each had our own projects to work on but it was nice to just visit and have some creative outlets. I had had this DIY jewelry tray idea for awhile and it was the perfect short little project to work on while visiting with my parents. AKA, it was super easy and didn’t take hardly any work!
I did not expect to MIA on here for the past three weeks! Three weeks ago we had a 500 year flood hit our area. It broke all the previous flood records set 10 years ago. Our house is high up on the ridge and stayed dry but so many people we know lost a lot, some lost everything. Then exactly 7 days later, a 100 year flood came and caused more damage. During that same week, our modem got hit by lightening and we found ourselves dry but without internet. I know, first world problem at its finest. Anyway, between all that chaos and covering for coworkers who were affected, blogging just wasn’t high on the priority list.
Onto the blog post… Continue reading “Shelving Cubes and Wedding Photos”
Landon would eat Mexican every night of the week if he could. I need a little more variety but definitely can handle it a few times a week. We’re big on fajitas and tacos mostly. I have a great fajita recipe I’ll share some day but for now, I’m showing you how easy it is to stock up on the bell peppers and onions now (hello garden and/or farmers market!) to enjoy later this winter.

One of the first little DIY projects I did in our house that made a big impact was in our master bathroom. It was a couple months after we had moved in – long before I started this blog. Since it’s something we see and use every day, I thought it was time to actually share it. Read on for some little ways to make your own bathroom feel fancy!

I’ve mentioned before that I have been struggling with iron issues for the past couple years. During this timeframe, a lot of attention has been given to freezer meals and meal prepping. Since red meat is the most easily absorbed iron-rich food, I decided I needed more options than burgers and tacos all the time. (To my dad’s disappointment, I did not grow up to be a steak and potato kind of girl.) Sometime last year I decided to try and make meatballs. Just simple, plain meatballs to freeze that could be dressed up any which way. Since then, I have always kept a bag of them in my freezer.
