Best Moving Tips: From a Moving Company
Moving is hard work! Having recently moved, it's fresh on the brain just HOW hard it really is. I have since shared my own personal moving tips and tricks with you (which you can find HERE) and while I think I've got some good insight in there, it got me thinking... what do MOVERS think about moving??

All About Summer Inspiration
I've said it before, and I'll say it again-- decorating is easy once you get started. It's the getting started that can be hard. Of course, for holidays like July 4th and Memorial Day, it's easy to know just what decor to pull out of the closet. But, and I've heard this from SO many others, August is a tough one. Not much is happening... it's time to put away the patriotic decor (at least to an extent), but not quite time to break out the pumpkins. I think this is why so many stores and ... continue reading...

And because I do love my animals, and realize the cats need an escape, this DIY interior cat door has been on the to-do list for a while now. Not only does it allow the cats a peaceful place to get away, but I can also hide away the cat ... continue reading...

How to Easily Fill Nail Holes in Your Wall
This post is sponsored by Hammer Fist. All thoughts and opinions are my own. You know that saying... "Life is too short, eat the dang cookie?" It's REALLY easy to forget that, even for me. I sometimes start to get caught up in the little things, and I just need to be pointed back in the right direction, a nudge if you will. And I think you need it too, I mean we all do at some point. I've heard (probably more times than I can count), "I just can't hang that, what if I mess up?" or "What ... continue reading...
