It is no secret that Hubby and I are gamers. In the past I’ve shared Minecraft creeper marshmallows, Printable Minecraft costumes, Zelda themed swaddle blanket and this awesome Zelda themed ceramic mug. Today though, I’m going even more old school. I’m talking the Nintendo Entertainment System, baby! The console itself was released in my husband’s birth year,Read more
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MySignatureMove #CollectiveBias If you haven’t noticed already, my husband is what I’d call a renaissance man. He is good at a wide variety of things, and he is interested in almost everything he comes across. His primary traitsRead more
Finding inspiration has never been a problem. The problem is finding time to do all of the wonderful things that I want to try out. This project is one that has been sitting in the back of my mind for two years at least. I can’t remember where I first saw it, but the concept stuck:Read more
What do you get the person who has everything? That is easy! You! You give them your time, (or maybe a little time off) and your energy. For many, these gifts mean even more than typical chocolates and a card. I like to give DIY gifts or a similar reason, like Printable Love Notes & Tin, LocalRead more
I’ve mentioned before that Valentine’s Day at my house get lumped in with our wedding anniversary. For that reason, we don’t typically do anything fancy on the actual February 14th. Instead we avoid crowds and high costs by doing something special closer to the 19th. That doesn’t mean, however, that the official V-Day is allowedRead more
Candle making for me is right next to soap making. There is artisan level soap and candle making that involves a lot of equipment, investing in scents, colors, space etc. And then there is quick-and-dirty soap and candle making which is far more accessible to people like me. This is a quick and dirty candle.Read more
Okay, so, I love hot drinks. From Hot Cocoa to Hazelnut Lattes. And, I happen to have a few friends who share in my indulgence. But Chai Tea mixes are often hit or miss. Chai tea recipes differ a lot. Some are too spicy for my liking, others don’t have enough chai “punch”. So, afterRead more
I’ve mentioned a few times recently that bathing is my new favorite pamper-me activity. Maybe its all the threats of “wait until that baby is born! You’ll never shower again!” Maybe its the aches and pains of pregnancy. Either way, a relaxing bath is my favorite way to unwind after a long day. So, whenRead more
Finishing salts are one of those things that I could have gone my whole life without ever knowing about. I mean, salt is salt right? Wrong. Sea salt is different than Kosher salt which is different than Iodized Table salt. Sea salt tends to taste saltier, which allows for more sparing use. Additionally, Sea saltRead more
Bath time has become an amazing restorative exercise for me lately. I lounge away in the hot water and feel truly warm for the first time all day. I pamper myself with bubble bath, my 1940’s vintage lady Gillette razor, and usually some music or candles. So, when I ran out of body wash I figuredRead more
Whelp, I suppose it is time to spill the beans. Being an online personality is totally different than the way I interact with my in-real-life friends (not that I love you all any less!). I mean, if you and I had met at the water cooler today… you’d already know. Why? Because a 16 weekRead more
My cousin is having a baby! That means I’m headed to a baby shower. Now, years ago I shot myself in the foot when I started making hand-made gifts. I made these sweet baby clothes Parfaits for one cousin, This awesome personalized pyrex for a wedding, This neato rustic sign for another wedding, Nail polishRead more
