Conversation Etiquette For Kids {& Adults Too!}

I’m not exactly sure where I picked this up. {Thinking it may have been in James Dobson’s book “Bringing Up Girls”.} Anyway, I love it and wanted to share it with you.

Have Fun with Photos

To give you a visual of what went down on my last visit, just picture my four-year old son jumping off aContinue reading “Have Fun with Photos”

DIY Door Headboard

Remember this fall when I did a bedroom makover in one afternoon? See my blog post BEDROOM MAKEOVER. Well, my husband and I finally got around to making the door an official headboard. Check out how we did it! Big thanks to “my man” for helping me complete this project! ~Lara

Re-frame It

This past weekend I decided the frames on the shelf in my living room needed a make-over. Not only did none of them match, but they really weren’t showing off the pictures of my kids and niece like I wanted them too. Instead of going out and buying new frames I looked through my houseContinue reading “Re-frame It”
