School is now back in session and I was actually involved in a big back to school secret over the summer!

Where To Buy A Farmhouse Table In St. Louis
I wouldn't say that our house was a total fixer upper when we bought it. It definitely had good bones and was totally livable. Just needed some updating here and there. That's what happens with older homes I suppose. At least we are able to live in it while we do the occasional update! So every year (or just about every year) we take a different room in our house and do the updates. I've been View Post
How To Clean Hardwood Floors Using Only Water
When we were housing hunting for our existing home I swore up and down that I didn't want a stitch of carpet anywhere.

I soon discovered that keeping hardwood floors clean AND shiny was quite the battle. View Post
Free Alice In Wonderland Printables
I've always loved the movie Alice in Wonderland. It's definitely one of my favorites. I think that as a child (and even now) I had this sort of kinship with dear Alice. She was a daydreamer, inquisitive, and just a tad bit silly. Having dark hair myself I've never been able to have the look of Alice but was lucky enough to be blessed 5 years ago with a little blonde baby. Our middle child has View Post

DIY Valentine Rag Wreaths For Double Front Door
We have a double front door and I've struggled since the day we moved in with how to decorate it. The doors are very plain and I'm not really a fan of two wreaths... Maybe if the doors had a little more style to them? Or glass? But I've just had to embrace what we have! One day we will replace the doors (hopefully with one like this) but for now I've just been having a good time making wreaths for View Post
