19 Days of Halloween- Day 19

Why 19? Because honestly, I started looking last night for fun things to do with Buggy and realized, “Wow, there are so many AWESOME Halloween crafts and fun activities to do together, I could do this everyday!” Then I checked the calendar and noticed how many days there are from today to the 31st {psstt…there are 19} and thought I’d challenge myself to find something to do with him everyday until Halloween and then share it with you guys.

At the very best, you’ll get some cute ideas to do stuff with your own little ones, and at the very worst, you’ll get a little giggle hearing about our craft fails. So why not? Plus, I love Halloween! Continue reading →

Our Simple Life Story

For quite some time now, I’ve thought about starting a series on here regarding the joy that can be found when one simplifies their life. Three years ago, Travis and I fell on severe financial hardships and were forced to reconsider our concept of happiness and satisfaction.

First Tutorial- DIY Dresser

Hey everybody,

I’ve finally added a tutorial to my Tutorials page! Travis and I refinished a dresser for Bug’s room since he’ll be sharing with his baby sister. We needed to make more room in there since a new person will be added to the room {soon we hope}, so we got rid of the old changing table that was falling apart and moved the tall and bulky dresser he was using down into my sewing room.

The dresser we found was exactly what we were looking for! Three drawers on one side for Bug’s clothes, three on the other for baby sister’s, and then three hidden in the middle for diapers and accessories that I really was never thrilled about having out in the open. It was also just the perfect height for a changing table.

Check it out!
