Easy Valentine Hugs and Kisses Wreath

  By Summer DIY/Crafts, Valentines

  I didn’t have a Valentines wreath for my front door. But, with all the snow, sickness, and well, more sickness the last couple of weeks, I haven’t had a lot of time to make one, or go to the craft store for materials for that matter. Then one night… Continue reading

Tabitha and I both decided we needed a centerpiece for our kitchen tables that we could change out with the seasons. There are lots and lots of tutorials online for how to make a centerpiece box, but since we love their website, we chose the Shanty 2 Chic’s Fall Table Centerpiece…. Continue reading

Here goes another “Try it Tuesday” and this time we are making something without following someone else’s tutorial…….holy moly! It all started when Tabitha was at Kirklands and saw the cutest measuring stick for the kiddos.  The price was $29.99 and she thought surely we could make something similar for… Continue reading

DIY Cup Coaster Tray

  By Summer Home Sweet Home

Everyday it seems like we run a dishwasher full of cups.  Okay, I may be exaggerating a teeny tiny bit….so 99% cups. It just seems like a waste of water and a waste of time. But the biggest reason I felt like I needed to tackle this problem is that… Continue reading

DIY Vase

DIY Vase

Hi all, here is how I made my vase out of oatmeal cans! As I scroll through Pinterest at night I tend to see crafts made with hemp or jute and cans to make pencil holders, etc.  I thought why not make a bigger version using oatmeal cans? I had one… Continue reading

DIY Rustic Twig Garland

Twig Garland

Once I fall in love with something, an idea, food, whatever, I tend to obssess over it for a while.  I have recently found this to be true with the idea of making decorations using twigs. I was really happy with how my Rustic Fall Twig and Flowers Wreath turned… Continue reading

Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am Easy Holiday Wreath

  By Summer Christmas / New Year's, DIY/Crafts
Easy Christmas Wreath

I’m not sure why I think I need a new wreath every year for the front door, but I feel like when the porch decor changes, then the Christmas Wreath must change as well. This year, I was going for more of a rustic approach for the porch decor (at… Continue reading

Big Ol' Porch Christmas Sign

Okay, once I made my Big Ol’ Welcome Porch Sign, I knew that I would be able to flip the sign over and have something for Christmas easy cheesy.  I guess I just didn’t realize how easy…..and cheap…..and fast….it would be. The longest part of this project was driving to… Continue reading

DIY Sparkle Advent Calendar

  By Summer Christmas / New Year's, DIY/Crafts

I pinned Elf on the Shelf ideas this year, thinking that this would be the first year that maybe he would visit our house.  Nay! I realized that The Destroyer still wasn’t ready.  She’d never be able to not “touch” our little elf and ruin the whole thing.  So we’ll… Continue reading

Burlap Tree with Gold Glitter

In a previous “Try it Tuesday”, Tabitha and I made our Christmas paper trees and had decided that we needed a third in order to keep the rule of three in sync (see Paper Christmas Trees post). Tabitha looked around on Pinterest and found a tutorial for a tall burlap… 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.
