Maybe, just maybe we’re seeing the last foundation adjustment. Which is kind of exciting…. After they came and checked our foundation again they were fairly certain they didn’t see movement inside the main part of the house. (I’m just going to go with fairly certain meaning none. Because I need good news, people!) Praise Jesus!! […]
Fake it until you can afford it
Or “Mama has gone crazy”… you pick… I’m pretty sure we have more exposed concrete in our house right now than actual floorcovering. There are moments this makes me crazy. Mostly because it’s not nice concrete. It’s dirty dust-making concrete with heaven-knows-what stuck to it that lurked under the carpet for years. About a month […]
A Gift for the Harry Potter Fan in Your Life
A very “Harry” Christmas to you! Okay, I didn’t post this before Christmas, because I’m pretty sure even though my kids claim they don’t know I have a blog (I guess the word would actually be “acknowledge”), I think they might occasionally stop by, just to make sure I’m not writing about them. That would […]

Easy Professional Looking DIY Cheer Bows
Any cheer moms out there??? I know some of you luurrv the cheer thing. I am probably not one of them. As a matter of fact, I keep telling my friends “how did I end up with two cheerleaders?!” I think what I’m mostly not excited about is how ridiculously expensive all the cheer gear is. And […]
Storing a Luggage Carrier
So someone needs to explain to me how something meant to be helpful can become such a PITA? Let me take a step back and just say, we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Thule. Seriously. We love it! This isn’t even some advertisement for them. They have no clue who I am, other than some weirdo adoring fan […]
DIY Pool Skimmer Basket Repair
April showers bring pool nightmares. Since we live on this glorious Texas soil that insists on moving with each season, the skimmer basket attached to our pool has given way to the soils’ seasonal whims. When we first moved in three years ago, we noticed that we were having to put water in the pool […]
Making Over an Old Teacher’s Desk
After I decided I was in love with the table I refinished for my daughter’s desk, I had to go on the hunt for another one for her. I found this little beauty on Craigslist for a sweet $25! It was big and heavy and indestructible, which is perfect for her. Her only request was […]
