FEATURED

Labor Day is coming up, so I decided to try my hand at making a paper petal wreath. We don't have much patriotic decor, so creating this wreath was an inexpensive way to start our collection. It's not as pretty as I had hoped. It has its imperfections for sure. But if I don't spend…

By now, we've all loaded up on school supplies for the school year. Did you spend more for trendy styles or did you take the minimal approach with basic supplies? As tempting as it is to grab the cute stuff, we opted for the basics. I like to treat myself to a cute notebook here…
