Walnuts and Wood

  By Summer Home Sweet Home
Walnuts and Wood

Even wordy old me can make this post short and sweet. This is about as “Simple” as you can get: Scratches no more accomplished by rubbing the scratches with a walnut……..  A walnut people!  Seriously! I had read about this on Pinterest but never tried it.  I guess I just… Continue reading

DIY Hose Storage Box

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

My Summer Wreath

My Summer Wreath

Last Summer I didn’t get around to making a fancy wreath.  We were gone for almost a month, traveling west, camping and visiting family. Not a lot of crafting gets done on the road. It’s hard for me to be creative when I’m trying to keep people from pulling each… Continue reading

DIY Dad's Desk Photo Holder

Ok, we had our big holiday, now it’s Dad’s turn. What to get for them this year? Dads can sometimes be a little hard to buy for, depending on their hobbies. BUT, the one thing you know they will always love is to see some pictures of their cuties, staring… Continue reading

Making an Old Bench New

Old Bench New

Ok, this Try it Tuesday episode proves that if we can do it, you can do it. I’d made the dire mistake of letting the kids bring breakfast into our bedroom on the weekends and as a result our once nice cream colored benc at the end of our bed… Continue reading

DIY Decorative Candle Holders

  By Tabitha DIY/Crafts, Home Sweet Home
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

DIY Wooden Clipboards

DIY Wooden Clipboards

Bare walls make me nervous. For some reason I can’t just let a good sized wall go naked without anything on it.  It nags in the back of my mind until the bare spot is gone. Maybe that’s weird, but I’m weird, so I’ve learned to go with it. The… Continue reading

Distressed Spring Mason Jars

Distressed Spring Mason Jars

There are probably eighty million billion hundred and twenty-one things you can do with a mason jar (that’s a very big number according to my five year old). They’re so simple, fun, and versatile for decorating and gifts that sometimes I wonder how much people even still use them for… Continue reading

Wooden Thankful Wall Board

It was Try it Tuesday and Tabitha and I were ready for a DIY. We both needed some wall art. We both had some new pictures we wanted to display. We both didn’t want to do anything with frames. Luckily it was Tabitha’s turn to pick and she found this… 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.
