Hello friends. I have decided since I am so awesome on television I am going to do it again. (Enter nervous twitching, random vomiting, and hives.) I figure if it only takes me six hours to film two minutes for the Nate Berkus Show, I am definitely ready for live TV. (Enter [...]

When visiting a book store in downtown Salt Lake City a few weeks ago, there happened to be an artist painting and promoting his work. I am a sucker for any type of in-store self-promotion. When I see an author at Costco promoting a book, I buy the book. I [...]

I am just getting over a massive head cold. Yesterday evening, in the wee hours of the night, as I reached for a box of tissues on my nightstand everything came crashing down in one big sickly swoop. Apparently the tissues were competing for space with all my ridiculous electronic [...]

Not. Done. Yet. But, it’s getting there, and I am loving how it’s looking so far. For this closet office project, I must admit I am pretty much making things up as I go. However, I did have one stipulation: no cords! I am so tired of cords everywhere! I [...]

This is a super fast and super easy project for making any kind of desk or work surface. Here’s the magical ingredient: stair treads. Stair treads are pre-cut wood pieces intended for wood stairs, but come in these already cut and sanded pieces. They have a nice little rounded corner on one side [...]

Ready for round two? ‘Course you are. This project we are using the larger wood flower pieces. (Smaller flower project post is here.) These sell for under $5 at Lowe’s. One I spray painted gold, the other I stained. Mix it up friends. Yes, this is how I entertain myself. [...]

My three year old has had a cold for three days, and if I don’t do somethin’ crafty I just might show up at a neighbors house and start moving furniture around. And then I would probably just go ahead and move right in, and live on their couch until the sickness [...]

This is my entry. This is my entry coat closet. This is my entry coat closet on drugs. Hahaha! Remember those 80′s antri-drugs commercials? No? Never mind. This closet has been a random dumping ground for far too long. Since we have a mudroom, we really don’t need extra coat storage.  The holiday [...]

Any big plans for the three day weekend? I have declared Monday to be a project day! Just haven’t found the courage to tell Mr. Wright yet. Should probably do that. Mostly because he needs to do all the projects. Ya know, wood cutting and all that dusty stuff he [...]

I wanted to do something nice for you since you, since you are always being so nice to me. And you didn’t make fun of my crazy hair on national television. And you didn’t bring up the fact that at the end of the Nate Berkus Show segment, none of my [...]

I moved the fireplace. See, that’s why you want an electric fireplace that’s portable. So much better than the real wood burning kind. (You know I’m just sayin’ that to make myself feel good, right?) I didn’t move it far. Here’s where it was before: Here’s where it is now. [...]

First things first. Thank you everyone for your love and support yesterday. It is very much appreciated! Being featured on the Nate Berkus show was such an honor and privilege that I am truly grateful for. I could NEVER have pulled it off without the support and help of family and friends. [...]

I have some very exciting news to share! I am going to be in the Nate Berkus show… TODAY! No, today is not April Fools Day. It’s for real friends! I will be featured in the House Proud segment. If you want to watch the show, you can find your [...]

These are Caster Cups. No, I don’t know why they are called that. Caster Cups are intended to be placed underneath furniture, to prevent your floors from being scratched. Caster Cups are made out of wood or plastic. Here’s the fun thing about them… they are stained light or dark, [...]

I am constantly using my iPad in the kitchen. Sometimes I follow a recipe on it, and sometimes I watch a movie when I probably should be paying closer attention to my recipe. I needed something durable to hold my iPad, but I didn’t want to splurge on a case. I also [...]

I have guilty secret. Sometimes when I get on Pinterest, I like to look at my own website page and see what projects of mine people have pinned. Does that make me a totally self absorbed person? Don’t answer that. I love to see what projects catch people’s attention, and which ones [...]

I do not have fancy tech savy gloves. I am just far too cheap to purchase them as I am the type to set things down and walk away. If I have accidentally left a child behind, gloves are the last of my worries. Be nice, I have only done it once… [...]

Photos taken with my phone January 1st-31st. Here’s a few of my favorites:

(View this original post at Organized Mom HERE.) These are my earrings. I keep them in this super organized tupperware. Booooring. Actually, I really like this container, and whenever I travel I use it to take jewelry with me. So yeah, it’s actually a good way to organize jewelry. BUT, I [...]
