Down and Dirty

DIY Hose Storage Box

I have a little problem. Some might say it’s an issue, but whatever. I like things to have a place. A place to be, to be put away, hid, to reside, whatever. Things should at least appear to be organized and well-kept, even if they’re really not. At least in… Continue reading

DIY Decorative Candle Holder

I had this bare spot on my entertainment center, so I decided to make something with candles. (However, once I was finished with them they didn’t look good there, so I have them on my fireplace mantel). I don’t really have many around the house, so I figured that would be easy… Continue reading

  • Hey there,

  • I'm Summer, just a regular mom trying to navigate a house full of ADHD, Autism, and Type 1 Diabetes. Welcome to my blog where I love to share things I've found that make my life as a mom of four a little easier. Mostly its easy recipes, fun fashion, lots of self care, murder podcasts and keeping a sense of humor…..oh, and trying to keep things simple.
