These jars were so easy, my 7-year-old helped make them! I spent NO money on this craft by using things we had. Plus we got extra cool effects and sparkles! My sneaky trick? The jars were empty! We only decorated the insides! Do you have old glitter tubes lying around? The ones where there’s just…
When I reached out to research this story, I felt like this was probably a ridiculous question. In the heat of South Carolina, is there anything we can possibly to make our carved pumpkins last more than 12 hours? Nearby Clemson University has a renowned agriculture department, but pumpkins are not a big crop here…
Halloween is coming! (Please consider some of these ideas for non-candy treats to support kids with food allergies through the Teal Pumpkin Project.) The Cursed Child was just released! And I am only #243 on the library waiting list. 🙂 And the new Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them comes out next month! http://www.fantasticbeasts.com/…
Driving out of the neighborhood, most people would take one look at that torn upholstery and roll on by. Me? U-turn! (Nevermind the same neighbor had a huge, old boxy TV on the curb for like 2 weeks. Reminds me I need to call the City and get that hauled off!) Before you guess that…

After painting a dresser for my daughter, it only seemed fair that I give something special to my other two daughters. This happy green floral painting was inspired partly by a new piece of art my friend bought for her office with the same green background. It was so cheerful, it made me want to…
I’ve always loved colorful porcelain knobs. My daughter does too, so we wanted this look for her dresser re-do. At $5-$10 each, the cost of adding knobs to her 5-drawer dresser would add up fast. That’s two per drawer, for 10 knobs – $50-$100 to add knobs to a $40 dresser seemed a little silly.…
My poor daughter’s dresser was a disgrace! So embarrassing! Desperate for storage, with a newborn baby and no time, I could barely get to the grocery store, much less a furniture store! When this sturdy, all-wood dresser for $40 appeared the preschool rummage, problem solved! And my favorite: cheap! While deciding the new color, my daughter…
The addition of vanilla creates the most GLORIOUS smell when you cook it!
