I’ll admit it. For all of his flaws (and mine) my hubby is awesome. He is kind and smart, attentive and supportive. So, every now and than I like to give him a little something to show him that I care. Nothing too big, just enough to let him know that I was thinking aboutRead more

I love pinterest. I do. But lately, it had been getting me down. There were all of these beautiful rooms and bedrooms,  with soft colors and classy decor that kept catching my eye. Why is that sad? Because my bedroom is sad in comparison. My hubby and I moved in to this rental house builtRead more
