A Very Special Day

Today marks one year with Mr. Morrell. It seems like just yesterday that we fell in love and got married. What a year it has been; full of tears, laughter, love, and learning. Lots of learning. One year down and eternity to go. This is what I have learned this past year. Everybody shows and…

Peachy Keen

Here in Washington we are hitting record-breaking temperatures! Nothing tastes as sweet in the heat than some ice-cold sweet tea! This is my favorite homemade sweet tea recipe off of pinterest, and Mr. Morrell LOVES when I make this at home. Ingredients: 1 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Water 2 Sliced Peaches 3 Tea Bags 6 Cups Water…

Strawberry Freezer Jam

YUMMMMM!!! This is the best freezer jam I have ever had. The best part was getting to make it with my family! My mother and sister-in-law make this every year, and this year I got to join in the fun! It was a blast, and pretty intense when you have 10 gallons of strawberries! So, I am…

Beauty on the Blog

I am doing something a bit different here. You may or may not know that I love to do make-up! I grew up with a mother who did hair and make-up, and often got asked to help out with weddings or events. I am by no means an expert, and most of my best friends actually…

Let’s Eat!

Want to spice up your kitchen area? Re-finish your dining room table! Found this bad boy at a garage sale for only $15! It came with two center leafs and four adorable chairs. Everything is wood except for the top, or else I would have stained it. Instead I decided to go with a fun…

She builds everything you can think of and gives you step by step plans. We were in the process of moving right after he…

Vintage meets Shabby Chic

For the longest time I have been wanting to make mirror night stands or end tables. I quickly found out it becomes a little pricy when trying to get the right quantity and size mirrors. My grandparents were kind enough to snag these vintage night stands at a garage sale for only ten bucks! Then of course…

Succulents

This project was so much fun! I have been wanting to start my own little succulent garden, and finally got around to it! After reading up and doing some studying it was time for some shopping! Off to Walmart I went to pick out what cute plants I wanted in my home. To my surprise they are not that…

Burp Rags

Here is another cute, very easy, and cheap sewing project! If I am being honest… I got in a fight with the sewing machine and lost big time. These did not turn out the way I wanted them to, but they will do the job! My co-worker’s fiance is having a baby! They are so adorable, and I wanted…

STEAL!
