About a month ago I started a program called Whole30. And let me tell you that I am in no way affiliated with this program. But I heard about it, so I decided to try it. Well okay, at first when I heard about it, I thought no way! But as I started seeing a pouch on my tummy, I decided I should give it a try. Because nothing I was doing was working! Going through menopause, well it sucks! I was cutting out foods, and exercising more, but still nothing was happening. I was eating mostly vegetarian, which meant that I was eating lots of carbs. Here is a before and after photo of me. Let me say that these are NOT flattering photos of myself, and I am being very brave in sharing so please be kind ;-) Oh yeah, the first photo was before I added a little red to my hair! I didn't ...

Adding Fall Decorations To Your Home
Adding Fall Decorations To Your Home You don't have to break the bank adding fall decorations to your home. And you will see that most of my fall decorations are from the great outdoors, and not from a craft store. I have nothing against craft stores, but if you're on a tight budget it can be expensive. When it comes to decorating for the holidays I keep it pretty simple. I don 't like clutter everywhere. My fall decorations will be kept out until the end of November. So I don't like putting Halloween decor up. And in my home we're out of that phase now that my daughter is grown. Thank goodness, because I was tired of that look too! As you can see I am keeping it pretty simple. I love using real pumpkins and heirloom varieties are my favorite! Simple little vignettes around my ... View Post
How To Make A Non Seasonal Wreath
Today I wanted to share how easy it is to make a wreath, and it will cost you zero dollars. Are you with me on this? Can I get an Amen? As you may already know I am pretty cheap frugal, and I try to save money whenever I can. So going out and buying craft materials for projects is not something I do often at all. I wanted to show you two different wreath ideas. These were both made using what I already have. Let's talk about this one first. Don't you just love this. It has a soft romantic shabby look and I love it! First you need a wreath shape, for this one I used a picture frame. And it doesn't need to be round, it can be oval as this one is or square or even rectangle. I had already used this frame to make a wreath using dried roses, but it was getting faded and ...

October Changes And A Treat
Can you believe today is October? It was just August! Well you all know my feelings about fall, the colors are pretty, but I dread the cold winter that's ahead. Can we please just skip over winter to spring ;-) Well, that's not going to happen. And since I will be spending more time indoors, I start looking around to make changes. And guess what, we are starting in the family room first. A year ago, around this time of the year, I said I would never. I guess I should never say the word never. Well, guess what? I'm changing my mind. I know you thinking, never what? Please get to the point! Okay, so a year ago I said I would never paint this piece. I am changing my mind, and I will be painting and transforming this piece! The thought of painting this piece was heavily on ... View Post

Dessert Coffee
I'm thrilled to be joining my blogging friends as a part of the "Fall In Love With Your Home Tour" I usually open my house, and share a tour, but I have to tell ya, my home is a bit of a mess right now. I know, you may be shocked, but believe me it is. I'm finishing up my book, to be released soon, and well I have a few projects going on. So anyway, I wanted to join in with these talented ladies, so I decided to share a coffee dessert recipe. But the thing is that recently I gave up sugar. But it's all good, it's really not as bad as it sounds. You can read about that HERE. So let's talk about fall...... Okay. if you know me, then you know that I am a summer girl, not so much a fall or winter person..at all. I just can't take the cold weather. I usually drink lots of warm ... View Post
