Taking Control of Life Without a TV Remote

I’m back!!! Do you ever feel like parts of your life are so up in the air that you just NEED to accomplish something? That was me today. I was so tempted to just not complete my blog. Then, I came home and just had this gut feeling that I needed something to go exactly…

A Sunset a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Soooo, I am back. I accidentally took a month off from this blog, but honestly I needed the break. I did complete my 30 sunsets in 30 days and wanted to explain how the experience has changed me. Dramatic, I know–but believe me, it did actually change me. So, first of all…It takes up a…

June was Full of Junk

This month was one of those hard months. I didn’t really seem to catch a break, and still am not catching a break. Once I got back from my vacation, I went through a rough patch. First, I was sick right after vacation. I am still slightly working my old position and also working my…

To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow

So, I bought a plant. I am in this weird stage in life where I really want to successfully keep a plant alive. I am starting to get obsessive. How can I keep my cat alive and super spoiled, but can never keep a plant alive longer than a week? So, this is it. This…

What Cuban Waiting for…

Hey! I just got back from Cuba! My whole family has been on the countdown for this moment for several months. I honestly had no idea what to expect and we were even worried that the 1950s cars would all just be hype and not actually real except for tourism purposes. We were happily wrong!…

Giveaway! :)

Welcome to my first personal rambling! I think my plan is to just pick a topic and roll with it and see where it takes me. Also I will unashamedly insert a bunch of pictures of Halo, because she’s perfect and the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. First of all, the giveaway! John…

SEAting Area (No Sew Cushion Cover)

Happy One Year Anniversary, Adorable Affordable Apartment! I honestly can’t believe I have been doing this for year now. It’s definitely a fun pastime for me and I am still enjoying it. Although I have been slacking on the “on-time” piece, I at least don’t skip any posts 🙂 I don’t want this blog to…

Wine Not? Another Cork Project

Welcome back, errbodayy! So, this project I honestly whipped up in a couple hours. I have been pretty dang sick for the past week and as you guys can tell I always put this blog last minute. Ooops! However, I am totally happy with the outcome. Also, it’s a fun and quick project 🙂 Can’t beat…

Jawesomely Fintastic Headboard

Before Okay, so sometimes (rarely) I have a stroke of genius pass through my mind. It happened to be earlier this month. I was going through the storage at my work and saw one of those old overhead projectors they used in school before high-tech stuff came about. It was donated to our community and…

Racking up the Good Memories

Hey! I’m late, I’m late…for a very important date! Sorry. Completely forgot what day of the month it was until someone mentioned we were already halfway through the month and I was all like WHOA, NO WAY JOSE! Then I was all SHOOOOOOT I FORGOT ABOUT MY BLOG. Let’s just say I have been keeping…

You’ve Cat to be Kitten me, She’s One?!

First of all, Halo is turning 1 in a matter of a few days! This post is dedicated to my little Halo Baylo. She loved this nightstand so much that she inspired me into repurposing it so that she could enjoy it as well. I have been using an IKEA side table for a TV…

Upcycled IKEA Coffee Table

My creative juices have been flowing really easily these days. I finally have my groove back! I have been using this IKEA table for over a year now and I have hated how boring it looked, but I had no inspiration. Also, it has these ugly stains from the previous owner who didn’t take care…
