I FINALLY painted my front door! This is one of those projects that I seriously said, “why did I wait so long to do this?” Our front door has never been painted in the 10 years we have lived here. It hasn’t always looked quite as bad as this but honestly it never looked good […]
Frugal Friday Finds: baskets, games, a mirror, and pillows

Mocha Banana Breakfast Smoothie (coffee + breakfast in 1 cup!)
