Every once in awhile we decide to give our handy makeover skills a workout on a piece of furniture, a room, etc. This last couple weeks it has been a Kitchen China Hutch project that we stumbled upon the most amazing deal on. With the new house, we love doing little projects to really make [...]
Family Command Center with Staples
March 18, 2013 by
As we got closer to actually moving into the new house, there was one thing I knew needed to be setup immediately for our family, and it became my top priority to make sure it happened. My love for Pinterest and all it offers is not a secret, seeing all of those great family command [...]
Cool Down the Planet: Buy a Fridge
August 26, 2012 by
Sadly, we all know that when you’re running a family, the bills never stop. Water, gas, clothes, shoes (oh, the endless shoes) and, of course, electricity. We all know we should go green and chances are we really want to. It’s our children’s world after all, but it’s not a world that makes it easy. I can [...]

As February enters most of us start thinking about the end of Winter and looking forward to Spring. With that comes a lot of snow clothes, holiday decorations and much purging to be done. Of course, in my home there’s always a lot of clutter, but finding clever and convenient storage solutions can be the [...]
Frugal Fashion

If I think about the top 10 things I’m asked in day to day life with 6 boys, definitely one of them would be “How on earth can you afford to keep them all clothed?” Then there’s always the temptations of this season’s cutest shoes ever for myself!

Little Cleaners
October 17, 2011 by
Ok, I will admit it right here and now, teaching kids to clean is not an easy task for most of us. I for one am not good at keeping an upbeat attitude when it comes to cleaning. If i was, I think I’d have a much better chance of having perfectly angelic little children [...]

Believe it or not, it’s super simple, amazing for your skin and you know exactly what you’re putting on your body. Think about it for a minute. [...]
