Lands’ End National Swimsuit Confidence Week
I haven’t worn a swimsuit in many years. That happens after having 3 kids, gaining tons of weight, and just losing confidence in yourself. But, I’m going on a cruise next January for our 20th anniversary and I’ve been working on losing some weight. In fact, from the time that Lands’ End reached out to [...]
DIY: How to Dress Up a Photo Frame Using Scrapbook Paper
I shared my DIY Western graduation favors with you for Tyler’s Senior table and today, I’m gonna share how I gave a plain photo frame a rustic makeover using scrapbook paper. A lot of the times, I never can find a western type frame that I like that doesn’t look completely cheesy so I learned [...]
DIY: Western/Cowboy Graduation Favors, Happy Trails Class of 2012
If you don’t already know, my oldest son Tyler graduates this year. Something they do at the Highland graduation ceremony, is setup a Senior display table for everyone to look at and leave cards & gifts on.

Spring DIY – How To Make a Pen Bouquet – Great Gift Idea Too!
This would make a great gift idea for the office nerd like myself (ahem Mother’s Day) or even a Teacher Appreciation gift! It’s so stinkin’ easy to make and one of the most affordable gifts you can create. If I were to make it for a teacher, I’d probably use red pens (or those assorted [...]
Fresh Food for the Falcon Cowdog, Cowboy
We got Cowboy when he was six months old, back in 2001. It was clear that he was mistreated by the previous owner and for the longest time, he would just ‘cow down’ anytime you got near him. Me and him became close though and once he started to trust me, he began to trust [...]
Disc to Digital
I am very much a tech nerd so I love learning about new programs that make my life easier. You can turn your dvd/blu-ray movie discs into digital by simply taking them to Walmart and having a Vudu account. I love this because as long as I have Internet, I’ll be able to watch my [...]
He Reads, I Clean
When you have 3 kids (3 boys to boot), you clean and clean and clean. I ain’t gonna lie either, their bathrooms are disgusting. I usually make them clean them since they are the ones that create the mess but thought I’d try out these Seventh Generation Cleaning Supplies that I was sent. I was [...]
Discipleship Denied
‘Discipleship denied’ represents a time in which we are called to follow the teachings of Christ, but fail to do so. This can be a little or big thing. To recognize our failures, we must be self-aware. This is sorta like confession time and sometimes, confessing our shortcomings can be really difficult. Not too long [...]
