Garage Sale Tips & Flyers {and how to make a big image appear on Craigslist!}
So you may have heard me mention my first ever garage sale this weekend. Up until now, I've had no reason to sell anything. Our house has always had room for our things, it always seemed like we were on the verge of another move. So I always used the excuse,...
Decking Do-Over {Under $100}
When I first saw our house I thought "Whoa...there's a deck." Immediately I knew that I wanted to pretty up the front porch and make the back deck look more like it is part of the house. Instead of something just slapped on the back. I wanted things to flow. To me...

At the Fair: Trashing the Dress

Unleashing Happy
I've had a great time being back home in Indiana. I've gotten to do so many things that I love about summer....but have not gotten to do for years and years. I've done the things I grew up doing. Things that just feel like summer. Swimming and laying out by the...
Carrot Ribbon Salad
Summer is salad season. And, as I've been trying to eat more raw {produce washed, but uncooked or altered in any way}...this salad was a good find. I can only do so many spinach side salads before it gets old. I saw a salad like this in an issue of Better Homes. I...
