DIY decorating and crafts
The Fourth of July in the U.S. is coming up soon! It's one of my favorite holidays. When we moved to Utah a few years ago, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that our new neighorhood has had a home-town Fourth of July parade for the past 60 or so years. It's right around the corner from our home. It actually happens right in front of the 1905 Cottage. Isn't that fun?? I love that the … [Read more...]
We spend a lot of time outdoors as a family in the summer. Luckily I found a few new things this year that make our outdoor spaces cleaner so we are ready for Summer parties and get-togethers. I've talked over the years about my love of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, so I was super excited to find out that there is an outdoor version. I love it. Lowes sent me some fun outdoor cleaning products to … [Read more...]
Here's an easy way to decorate for the Fourth. Simply print out these striped printables, fold them up and add one of the printable stars to the center. You can use them alone as patriotic lollies, attach them to tissue paper medallions (you can find them at any party store) and hang them on your mantel, from your porch or as a festive banner. Here are the individual printable PDFs for each … [Read more...]
A couple of weeks ago my girls and I had a little tie dying craft afternoon. We made a few different projects! And we had some left over dye, and I started going a little crazy. I wanted to try tie dying all kinds of things. One of the things I grabbed was a box of coffee filters. I tied some rubber bands around a few bunches of filters and poured some different color dyes on them. I was … [Read more...]

Welcome to the Weekend Wrap-Up Party!! This week's giveaway is from Camera Coats!! You guys have no idea how many times I've been scolded by my kids and my husband for carrying around my DSLR camera without a case. The problem is that the camera bag my husband bought was ugly and black. And bulky. Instead of a big bag, Camera Coats are made to protect your DSLR without a lot of added … [Read more...]
I am just in love with the 1905 Cottage I'm renovating. While most of the major work is done -- and there's a lot to share with you -- the biggest unfinished piece has been the kitchen. The people who had lived in this cottage before loved it and took good care of it. But it was time to update it. It wasn't bad, but we knew there was something magical underneath. But we had to do some … [Read more...]

Well, when I found a box of Oreo Jell-O pudding at my local grocery store, I … [Read more...]

Our June challenge from Lowes was to create a Patriotic Project. I thought it would be fun to make a wood bunting and flag to display. I wanted to create a "beachy" patriotic feel. It's perfect if you have a home that doesn't go with the traditional "Red White and Blue" theme. Here's how I made the Wood Shim Bunting and Flag: … [Read more...]
