Hi Friends, Hope your week is going well. Welcome to my first What's In My Shopping Cart (WIMS) post. I've decided to start a weekly post to share some of the goodies I've come across while sourcing items for the gazillion projects I'm working on. When working on projects or just simply picking out decor for my home, I try not to make decisions on a whim. I choose items and sit on them for a few days, weeks, or even a month or longer before pulling the trigger. This strategy allows me to ... READ MORE »
One Room Challenge – Week Three
It's week three of the One Room Challenge. Thank you again for stopping by. If you are here for the first time, you can catch up on week one and two here. I'm working on a tween room makeover for my daughter. This week had a few changes from the previous plan. Even with a mood board, sometimes the design doesn't always go as planned.

IKEA Toddler Kitchen Hack
My daughter had been asking for kitchen for the longest time. We got rid of the play kitchen her siblings used because it had seen better days.

There are tons of ... READ MORE »

My Quick Donut Bar
We celebrated a birthday earlier this month and decided to do a donut bar for breakfast. It was fairly simple and easy and I'll be doing a DIY post on how you can make your own donut stands for less than $20. The donut bar turned out to be a great hit especially for the kids. I mean who doesn't love a good donut :). The paper flowers were made by my friend and added a great statement piece for the back drop. The pretty grey arch was a a First Mondays find in Canton, Texas and I absolutely ... READ MORE »
