It is hard to believe that it has been 5 years since I made my first printable planner. It was 2013 when I first introduced the student version for free, and its still one of my most popular pins. Over the years I’ve given the printables for free, I’ve sold them on Etsy, and lastRead more
It’s finally summer! I am absolutely over the moon about warmer weather, green leaves on tall trees and of course, Pretty flowers! Flowers, being one of those basic shapes that almost every kid knows how to draw, tend to be a big topic of crafting. Its no surprise that people make a lot of flowerRead more
I’m pretty candid here on the blog talking about my father’s death. I’ve written about the things I’ve learned, and wish I’d told him. I’ve talked about celebrating my Father in Law instead of my dad on Father’s Day. However, now that my husband and I have a child, Father’s Day has a renewed spiritRead more
Hey everyone, It’s Lisa again! Some of my best memories of Father’s Day consist of my father and I going to our local sports restaurant and ordering tons of food. Even as a little girl, I opted for a full-on steak with a side of french fries and grilled vegetables. My father, on the other hand,Read more
The reason for this Travel Information Printable is that while you are reading this, I am making my way (slowly) from Jamaica and home to my Squish. Hubby and I have spent the last 5 days at a resort here, but now its time to come back to reality (you can check out some ofRead more
This baked pear recipe get’s me thinking. I don’t know exactly why – but we never really had pears when I was growing up. I used to have fun carving apple jack-o-lanterns, writing messages on banana skins, and trying to catch grapes in my mouth, but I can’t remember ever having a pear until IRead more
There have been hundreds of tutorials written about the Sharpie Mug method, some using plain Sharpies, others using the oil-based kind. Essentially, you write on a mug in Sharpie and then you bake it until the drawing becomes semi permanent. Sounds amazing huh!? Always excited for new ways of decorating my coffee mug, I’ve had thatRead more
I know it doesn’t look like much. I considered not even sharing this Coffee Scrub because it looks, well, like dirt. But let me tell you – you can’t judge this scrub by its color. I’ve been looking for a while for a good facial scrub to use periodically with my DIY Face moisturizer andRead more
Graduating college was definitely one of my proudest moments. I remember how at one point, I wasn’t even considering attending because I had my mind set on a career in music – pop music, at that (as a recording artist). My parents urged me to apply to a local school as a back-up plan, and itRead more
I’m a big fan of paper and stationary. I mean, I designed my own planner for crying out loud. So, while it is true this project could be a gift… I’ll skip the formalities and admit I made the DIY Marbled Paper Stationary for myself. I’m not even ashamed. I can’t wait to use it! ThereRead more
“Mommy Guilt”. The fact is, all mothers feel it. Maybe not all of the time, maybe not over the same things. (I actually think some of the comments that spurred me to write about Why I’m One of “Those” Moms were born out of Mommy Guilt.) There is something about the immense task of raisingRead more
I think we’ve all had situations where our ability to form words just isn’t enough to express our feelings. This Mother’s day printable came from mine. Each year around Mother’s Day, I feel just that way. My feelings toward the women who have shaped me, and now toward motherhood itself, are complicated and rich. TheRead more
