Pretty DIY Sequin Display Hanger with Bow
The other day after finishing up a sweater DIY I wanted a pretty hanger in which to display it on for the photo and quickly whipped this up in about five minutes. I’m sure it’s been done before, since it’s just so simple, but it was pretty enough to share and actually made a nice …
Ditch Noodles & Make Spaghetti with Squash Instead | Healthy & Delish!
It looks like regular spaghetti, but it’s not! What looks like noodles is actually squash! However, it tastes just as good as the original Italian dish, you can’t really tell you’re not eating noodles at all {except the squash is a bit crunchier, which I loved about it!}. I’d seen this yummy entrée popping up …

Sun & Salads | Beet, Burrata & Orange Salad w/ Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
by Patty Joy Beets! This magenta colored vegetable took me a while to fall in love with. Reason #1, I grew up eating them mostly from a can. From time to time my mom would boil them, but still, it was a taste that didn’t agree with me. I went through most of my adult …
DIY Faux Crystals with Rocks, Nail Polish, & Gold Spray Paint
With an influx of styles reminiscent of the ’70s, ’90s, as well as a return of the bohemian flair in all things decor, rocks, crystals, and gemstones are rather trendy at the moment. But they’re also really expensive. If you want the look for decor purposes and not so much for the healing quality of …

My Boys in Bows Make me a Happy Mama
When I was cleaning out the Reading Room a few weeks ago, I found my stockpile of cute doggy t-shirts I used to make and realized the boys were just the right size for them… well, Trevor’s is a bit too big, but close enough. Back in 2003, I’d mostly made girly T’s with sweet …
Need An Adorable Last Minute Mother’s Day Card?
I don’t know about you, but Mother’s Day completely snuck up on me this year! I can’t believe it’s this weekend! I think maybe if I was a mom myself, I’d be more aware of it, but alas, I am only a mama to puppies… which is good enough for me! But in case you …
DIY Inspo | Floaty Sea Glass + Driftwood Mobile
I stumbled across these gorgeous sea glass and driftwood mobiles on Pinterest the other day and have not stopped thinking about them since. They are just so pretty and so clever and if you have access to sea glass, driftwood, & transparent nylon thread, a rather easy DIY as well. I’m not into taking money …
Everybody Has Pores : How Boudoir Saved My Soul (Sort of)
by Michele Redmon From a very early age I was uncomfortable with my body. Perhaps it had something to do with being raised in a very conservative, religious family where modesty was emphasized as a key to female purity and in turn, value. In contrast the magazines I read and trends I tried to follow …
DIY Floral Embroidered Evening Bag, Clutch, Purse
When I was about 19 years old, about one hundred years ago, I bought this vintage red silk duvet cover beautifully embroidered with flowers and birds from a friend who was an antique dealer for about $100. He said he was giving me a deal because this particular duvet cover once belonged to Billy Idol. …
A Forced Break
Except for the occasional Saturday, I publish a blog post every single day, and I do so for more reasons than one. But mostly, I do it to because it’s my job and I love it and I enjoy staying connected to all of you and to this blogging internet world that so many of …
