Last year we started what we hope becomes a tradition on my Hubby’s side. We all got together (his brother & GF, His Mom & Dad and us) at our apartment and had a Thanksgiving Dinner as a family. This year, with our new house, I’ve been bursting with the desire to decorate our spaceRead more
The first time I’d ever heard of Caramel Apple Salad, it was at the tasting for our wedding. Being that we were being wed in February, our choice of fruit dishes was slim. Our caterer ensured us that everyone would love their “secret recipe” Caramel Apple Salad, and they were right. The sweetness in thisRead more
I’ve been busy working in our basement Ice Cream shop!! It all started when Icon Wall Stickers contacted me about reviewing their product. They let me choose one of thier many stickers and sent it for free. So, that part of this post is sponsored but the view/opinion are all mine! Anyway, so I hadRead more
Sometimes what I put into my Halloween decorations box is not what I take out the next year. When I dug into m Halloween Decorations (just today… I’ve been busy!) I was very excited to use a black wreath that I’d tucked in there last year. I found the wreath for dirt cheap a coupleRead more
I must be on a DIY lotion kick. It started with the Clean & Healthy DIY Facial Moisturizer (which I still use BTW, and recently made a new batch of. Its just perfect for my skintype) then there was the Green Tea Repairing Face Cream (Still great for super dry or aging skin- not for myRead more

My name is Kayla, and I like to make things. Sometimes, I feel compelled to make things last minute. Sometimes, when its inconvenient. This time, I made a DIY Warrior Costume Breastplate at my mom’s house, at 11pm, the day before I needed it. Let me explain. We were staying at my mother’s home on aRead more
I’m a huge fan of home made costumes. I can’t remember wearing a single store bought costume growing up, and that’s a tradition I’d like to keep. In reality, I’ve found that the quality, the originality, and the FUN of a home made is often better than a store bought option. Now, before you getRead more
Wow. I can’t believe it took me almost 4 months to have a room in Our New House completed for a reveal. I really didn’t think it was going to take so long. I think the main issue is I’m simultaneously working on pretty much every room in the house. Maybe I should focus inRead more
A while back I posted my DIY Natural Face Moisturizer, because I use it and I love it. That recipe focuses on being light and non-greasy, and I find it works perfect for my naturally oily skin type. However, the recipe might not be the perfect solution for someone with dry, chapping skin, or thoseRead more
