I’m here, I’m here!! I’ve completely fallen off the blog wagon for a couple of weeks. Just had way too much going on. Weekend sports, Izzy’s birthday party, my mom came in for a visit, and tackling a few belated projects. I get my love of DIY from my mom, so she is always game for projects when she visits.
Changes are a brewing in Izzy’s room. The kid clutter is real. My mom helped her with a small purge (basically empty gum wrappers and scrap paper), but there is still so much left over that she has an attachment too. I got sick and tired of seeing knick knacks, shopkins, and emoji toys covering every square inch of the top of her dresser. This clean dresser top lasted all of one day. We needed shelving and more storage options.
I took down the book ledges. While I love having books on display like this, it was no longer practical. As she got older her books changed from large picture books to smaller chapter books. Ledges aren’t ideal for that.

I’m sure you’ve all seen and been swooning over this pillow from Target {target} Me too I just didn’t have a spot in my house where the yellow would work. That, and it’s no longer available. So, I attempted to make my own, and I really like how it turned out. If you want to make one…
What I’ve Been Up To – Washer/Dryer Stand
We bit the bullet and finally decided to buy a new washer and dryer. Can’t tell you how excited I am to use our front loaders, and even more excited to get them out of my livingroom where they are currently camped out. I honestly have no idea why they had to hang out there,…
Pretty Alarm Clocks for Your Nightstand
Up until just a couple of years ago we had been using the same alarm clock my husband had while he was in college. It was clunky and outdated, but it still worked so there was technically no need to replace it. Then the most wonderful thing happened. We had a power outage that fried…

The bookcase came out great Shelley! Tutorial? I have the Critter too….I like it for small projects and for keeping paint stored in jars after spraying!
