I have SO many things in my shower (read: shampoo, conditioner, various scents of body wash because, I mean, you have to have options, right?) that a shower caddy is a must. Otherwise, there is NO room on the four corners of my tub (which I was told shouldn't be used to hold things anyway because it can permanently mess up the tub). Shower caddies can be expensive, but you can make your own for … [Read more...]

I saw this idea I think somewhere on Pinterest, and I thought it was so cute that I wanted to create it. Let me tell you, it was probably one of the easiest projects I've ever done. It probably took about 5 minutes, and it only cost me $3 because I got everything at the Dollar Tree! I picked up a candlestick, mason jar and some candy corn. We used my husband's model glue (which is basically … [Read more...]

I love having storage canisters and jars on my kitchen counters. It makes it easier when I'm cooking or baking to just pop something open and get what I need rather than having to go dig through my pantry. But, I want them to be cute since people who come by my house will see them. I currently have plain white canisters, but I was thinking I wanted something a little cuter. I found an idea on … [Read more...]

I've been wanting a pumpkin to put by my front door for the fall, but I really hadn't found a pre-made one that I really liked. I'm kind of picky when it comes to thinks like that, so I figured I'd be better off making one myself. I want to make one for each of the three of us with our first initials on them, but I think I might do that for next year so I can buy the pumpkins when they go on … [Read more...]

I used to keep my makeup brushes in a mug on my sink counter. I wasn't too fond of it because a mug doesn't really fit into my decor well, but it worked so I kept it. Then, I saw this idea on Facebook and thought I would give it a try. I like how it turned out, and it was super frugal. The whole thing cost me about $4 at the Dollar Tree. I bought a glass container and some colored rocks. I was … [Read more...]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- nothing is a bigger waste of money to me than spending $5 on a card. I don't mean to sound like a Scrooge but, really, how many cards do you actually keep? I don't keep any because, well, they just take up space, which is a precious commodity at my house. You can make your own cards for a fraction of the cost of buying one by utilizing sales at … [Read more...]

I have long-ish hair and, with the incredibly hot summer we've had here in Georgia, I pull my hair up every.single.day. It's just too hot to leave it down. That means, I have hair bands all over my house from where I've taken them off or from where Lucy has left them after playing. I don't really have anywhere to put them, so they are primarily kept on my night stand or on the bookcase in our … [Read more...]
