Last night was AMAZING. It was by far the best Halloween we’ve had yet! The costumes were awesome, the kids totally got into character, even the little meatball cooperated! The best part though was being able to finally see all of our friends & family gathered together, walking down the street of our adorable neighborhood, […]

My Good Nook :: DIY built-in kitchen banquette bench
It’s funny, I sat down to write this post & I typed, “I bet you were probably starting to wonder if I was going to post again…” but then I thought, Hmmm, that sounds mighty familiar. And I’d be right. It is familiar. Because it’s exactly how I started my last post! I wish I […]
Duhnuhnuhnah…BAT GIRL!
Just to clarify, she’s not actually BatGirl…she’s a BAT that happens to be a girl. Get it? I just can’t help but sing the Batman theme song every time I see her in her costume. For those of you who helped me figure out how to whip this costume up last week on Instagram a […]
Minions, Mummies & Mashed Cauliflower Soup
As of Wednesday afternoon, the day before Halloween mind you, this is what the girl’s minion costumes consisted of… YIKES! I’m a terrible procrastinator but luckily work well under pressure. From 4pm-8pm I cranked out those costumes, by the end I probably was on the verge of ‘mean mommy’, I know there was at […]
Halloween Kid Craft: DIY Glow in the dark spider webs
I love Halloween, I do, and I really love that I have kids so it gives me an excuse to do things like decorate with fake vultures (yep, you read that right, vultures, pics at the end of the post) & cover the house in glittered spiders. SO fun! This is actually the first […]
How to make a too big t-shirt smaller, cuter & something you’ll actually wear
P brought me home a shirt from his radio show that I was so excited to wear except for one small detail… It was so big it could show up on doppler radar. I had a choice, stick it in the overstuffed ‘maybe I could wear it as a nightgown’ drawer OR makeover! (I know, a […]
DIY Dip Dyed Ombre Window Panel Curtains
It’s funny that in yesterday’s post I had found those teal dip dyed curtains because a few months ago I actually made some myself for my home office! I had stashed away the tutorial because back in April I submitted it in hopes a certain publication would pick it up but alas, it’s now officially […]
DIY Elastic Hair Ties
I’m sure you’ve seen them, they’re all over the place. Pretty elastic hair ties that usually come in a pack of 4 or 5. Once you used them you probably fell in love too. Not only are they an updated, more stylish, version of the regular ponytail holder but they don’t snag or dent your […]
Sea Shell Crafts that don’t make you an old lady
We’re at the beach. And it’s a beautiful beach, it also happens to be a beach with a fairly decent assortment of seashells. It’s impossible not to do, I even catch my husband doing it, “Ooo! Look! I found a striped one!” And *plop* it goes into the bucket. By the time vacation is over […]
How to shorten a necklace chain yourself
You know, I’ve found that sometimes some of the simplest how-to’s make the best posts. I bought this ‘Faith’ necklace while I was in Florida & I absolutely loved it but the length was just too long, I wanted to wear it with my ‘Loved’ necklace P gave me but they just kept getting tangled. […]
