A few weeks ago my husband and I escaped out of town for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We had a bigger trip planned (to celebrate our big 10 YEAR anniversary) but we will do that later this year. So we decided to stay somewhat close to home and check out a new […]
May + June recap
Don’t know why I always forget to share these posts – maybe I should just plan on sharing them every 2 months, then I won’t be late. So here is the last 2 month’s worth of posts all linked up for you in one post. Benefits me cause I don’t get discouraged thinking I didn’t […]
Easy Succulent Garden (in a milkglass dish)
I love adding live plants to my home. Love the color and decoration that they bring and also love that they are good for you in purifying the air. So when I saw these succulents on clearance at Wal-mart, I snatched them up. Succulents are very popular right now and I have been wanting to […]
Celebrating 10 years of wedded bliss!
Today is a really special day!! My husband and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary! Hard to believe it has been 10 years – in some ways it seems like it was just yesterday and yet, I can’t remember what life was like not being married to my husband. So just for fun […]
Friday Frugal Finds: new purse, really nice home décor items, and more! (+link up your finds!)
I had another good week last week hunting down some yard sales. I think it has helped that we haven’t hit many 90 degree days yet here in GA which is rare for June. So yard sales are EVERYWHERE! I have actually been finding some of the best stuff on Friday instead of Saturday. Do […]

Friday Frugal Finds: baskets and more (+link up your frugal finds or makeovers!)
I had another good yard sale shopping weekend last week. (Notice that the thrift store finds have decreased as the yard sale finds have increased. Once yard sales are in abundance, I find my trips to thrift stores getting scarce.) I actually found all of these finds on FRIDAY at a couple good sales. Friday […]

Friday Frugal Finds: pillows, chandelier, home decor, and more! (link up your finds too!)
I had a really good yard sale shopping weekend last week. Sometimes you only find a few things, sometimes you find things specifically on your list and lots of them. I have actually been doing more shopping at individual yard sales this year than I ever have. And although I LOVE my parking lot yard […]

Thanks to Lowe’s and P&G for sponsoring this post and giveaway!

And I feel like I am a little behind […]
