I’m at it again. I’m doing doing another DIY project in Jayden’s room. This time, I’m spray painting some frames and bookshelves for his walls. Lately, I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to complete projects so it’s super important that the projects that I do start aren’t too complicated. Walmart just started… Continue Reading

Strawberry Fruit Salsa
To celebrate Strawberry season, Walmart asked me to come up with a recipe using… wait for it… strawberries! I really wanted to share a strawberry pound cake recipe, but it failed horribly. I may post about that disaster later. To recover, I decided to make something fool-proof… strawberry salsa! Salsa and chips is one of… Continue Reading
Sashay Yarn Ruffle Scarf + Wine Bottle Vase
I don’t know how to knit or crochet, but I sure did try to do whatever it is that yielded a mini ruffle scarf. Sashay Yarn made it somewhat easy. Let me explain… Red Heart sent me a care package with a few skeins of Sashay as well as some knitting needles and crochet hooks.… Continue Reading
Easy Churros With Chocolate Dipping Sauce
I absolutely LOVE Mexican cuisine. In all of the Mexican dishes I’ve tried and whipped up, I noticed a pattern. They are all savory. With Cinco de Mayo approaching, I decided in addition to some savory yummies; beef enchiladas, grilled corn, and guac, I’d make a dessert… Churros. I didn’t realize how easy they are… Continue Reading

Tea steeping on the side table. You wake up, and realize it’s a dream. The photo above was taken during the Yoga… Continue Reading

Aside from the usual academic and emotional preparation, we are focusing on his diet. What he eats will set the mood each and every day, so we are making sure that his meals and snacks are… Continue Reading
Repurpose To Spark Creativity And Eliminate Excess
I love new things, which usually leads to spending money unnecessarily and filling our home with more stuff. While I still love to shop, I’ve been able to satisfy my itch by repurposing. I started seeds for the garden using toilet paper rolls as mini pots and I created an indoor herb garden using mason… Continue Reading
Jayden’s Green Glow In The Dark Wall
Top: Pinterest Inspiration / Bottom: Jayden’s Room / More Photos Here I often joke about Jayden’s room being the best room in our home because of all the neat things I’ve done to it. It’s always a work in progress, though, since I can’t leave it be. Growing up, my room wasn’t half as cool… Continue Reading
Homemade Toaster Tarts
Pop-Tarts. A sweet convenience that can be addicting. Especially the strawberry ones. I ate so many during the college days that I never bought them again. Fast forward to now, and I seldom buy packaged or baked goods. I make them at home where I am able to control the quality and quantity of ingredients… Continue Reading
