You know that beautiful new minivan I showed you earlier this month. Well, I didn’t mention something. When the van was still very brand new feeling (less than 2 weeks old), someone smashed in a corner while it was in a parking lot. They left the scene – a total hit and run. Matt and […]
Jelly Roll Fabric Banner
I love what fabrics can do to bring texture to a room. And I love how banners can make any space feel more cheerful. A banner made of fabric creates such a happy union! Every single one of my kid’s rooms has a banner of some kind. Today I’m going to focus on the banner […]

I guess it is hard to imagine that all the clutter is removed off the counters and floors, then everything is cleaned … and then the clutter is just put all back?! Yeah, that doesn’t sound likely, […]
Why I Love Watching Hoarders
I’ve never really talked about Hoarders on the blog, and as I was watching it the other day, I thought I should correct that. The first thing the show Hoarders taught me years ago was that there were people who had the job of helping other people organize their house. That show made me want […]
