This is a great beginner tip to regrow ivy roots. Happy Tuesday! Did you have a nice Memorial Day Weekend? I hope so! I attended my 10th? 11th? Indy 500 on Sunday. I haven't always been a big race fan, it has taken me many years acquire the taste, but I really look forward to it every Memorial Day Weekend now! It is a very fun and exciting day in Indianapolis! On Monday, my mom, who has a very green thumb, helped me plant some potted flowers. I'm saving a few of our projects for some ... Read More about Gardening for Beginners: How to Root Ivy

Photography with COLOR!
I am taking an online photography class, and the very first assignment is to take photos with lots of color. I was bummed because it was raining out yesterday, so I figured I couldn't get any really cool colorful pictures... Miss L. proved me wrong! She plopped her pink polka-dotted self on our bright yellow rug, and I grabbed my camera! (Then I rolled some oranges over and told her to play with them, which she was happy to do.) Have a great weekend! :) ... Read More about Photography with COLOR!
Upcycled Dip Container Organizers
The other night I was emptying out our refrigerator and throwing out the "yucky stuff".

I'm proud (and a little surprised, honestly) to report that it is still organized. I had a few random little things that need a home ... Read More about Upcycled Dip Container Organizers

One Year in the “New” House

It's very easy for me to focus only on what we still have left to do, but I'd like to take a moment and focus on what we have accomplished in one short year: The Front Entryway Before/After: Ahhh, yes. My first project that I accomplished basically while Miss L. napped in the afternoons. A fresh coat of paint on the columns, trim, and front door cleaned everything up. My dad replaced the old brassy windows with ... Read More about One Year in the “New” House
