Dog Treat Jar DIY. I have a dog. He’s a rescue. A beagle … and he’s a big fan of dog treats. Treats of all forms and all tastes. In fact, I’ve yet to meet a treat he does not like. Though, funny aside, he did go on a hunger strike when […]

Homemade Soft Scrub Recipe
There are a lot of things I wish I was. Thinner. Younger. Smarter … and a better keeper of the house. And when I say better keeper of the house, I mean I wish I was more diligent about cleaning. Because I’m not. I go in spurts of crazy cleaning frenzies […]
Mason Jar Fairy Jar
Remember the days of catching fireflies in jars? It always sounded fun to me, right on up to the point where I had to touch a bug … Ugh! That part was not so fun. So I let my brother catch them for me while I held the jar. Some creative (and perhaps […]
Minion Mason Jar
Minions. You either love them or hate them. Though, I have to say, I see much more love than hate. With the exception of my teen daughter. For some reason or other, Minions rub her the wrong way. And once she expressed her anti-Minion stance I took it upon myself to surround her with […]

Mason Jar Matchbox
I’m not sure I would categorize this mason jar matchox as a Father’s Day gift idea, per se. Perhaps it’s more of a summer barbecue hostess (and host) gift idea? Either way, I think it’s just darling. If I do say so myself. 😉 And you could always dress this up as a Father’s […]

Citronella Candles
There are many things I love about summer. But mosquitos aren’t one of those things. In fact, I’m a mosquito magnet. I can barely step outside at dusk without being bitten. And forget working in the garden. I have to do a full-on DEET spray down before I can tackle and yard work. […]

Fragrance in a Jar
We typically use candles to change the fragrance in our home. Especially when cooking something especially fragrant … like garlic … and bacon … Both of which I love the smell of at the time they’re being cooked. But a few hours later? Not so much. But when I came across […]

Bathroom Organization
It seems like the older my kids get, the messier the bathroom becomes. Which seems counter intuitive. You would think that, as teens who are very capable of putting things away and reaching spaces much taller than I, that they would take responsibility for their things in the bathroom … Um. No. Not at […]
