Easy Pocket Pillow Tutorial One of my decorating goals this year was to change out pillows each season. I see people doing this all the time and the impact it makes on a room is HUGE! Two things have held me back from jumping on the pillow change out bandwagon: It seems expensive Where do I store 500 pillows? So here is the solution I came up with. Pocket Pillows. Why pocket pillows? What even is a pocket pillow? Let me explain. A pocket pillow is a pillow cover that goes ... continue reading...

Quality Over Quantity: Free Printable
Quality over quantity. This is a hard phrase for me. I like stuff. I like to have a lot of friends. Three shirts on sale are better than one at full price. It's hard to say no when asked to participate in something good. A million followers sounds better than one. This January I felt the deep need to take a step back and rest in the quiet for a month or so. To just listen to what God had for me. It was clear I was in need of a re-alignment. It's not that I was far off track, ... continue reading...

Magnolia Market – Is it worth the drive?
About a year ago my family took a road trip to Waco, Texas to play. We went to the zoo and did fun stuff, but my underlying motive was to visit the Magnolia Market store. We were loving their hot new show and wanted to see about all the fuss in real life. My husband grew up in Waco so it was fun to drive around with a "local" and see the changes, old houses and fun shops. But my eye was on making it to that store. The little one on Bosque. It was a postage stamp size store. Small, cute, ... continue reading...
Hidden In Our Hearts
This year (2016) I felt a strong call to step up the task of hiding God's word in my heart. And helping my family do the same. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11 Anyone who knows me in person knows my memory is HORRIBLE! It's a serious problem, my mom and I are similar in this regard and we continually make jokes about our lack of retention. But the truth is, how are you going to follow God if you don't know Him AND His word? You can't follow ... continue reading...

It’s Not All About Paint: Add Fabric To Your DIY

But...every once and a while you need a little somthin' extra. A little oomph. Today fabric was the added interest my project needed. Here's how it worked: Last summer I scooped up these sweet little tulip candle sticks from a North Carolina thrift shop. I think they were two bucks. I knew they would be perfect for ... continue reading...
