When I was asked to write a (*sponsored) post about a Mom's Ideal Garage, I couldn't resist. You see, a year ago we bought our dream retirement home in another city. I spend quite a bit of time there, and even though garages aren't typically very exciting to women, our new garage is absolutely amazing. It is a huge 3-car garage (one of which is … [Read more...]
I love my husband, I really do. As much of a "giving" guy he is, he isn't big on sharing his tools. Perhaps this is a guy thing, but I am not allowed to play with his "nice" tools. He has set some old, beat-up tools aside for me to use when necessary, but I want nice tools too! Not only did I receive my very own set of "nice" tools, but they are … [Read more...]
FLOOR AND DECOR We are fortunate to own two homes - one that we have been in for nine years, and the second that we bought for our retirement. We currently split up our time between the two homes, which means we notice DIY projects that need to be done on both. The home we've been in for nine years really needs some work.

SKIL has partenered with Susan G. Komen and has launched "Tools for the Cure", which includes the Pink SKIL iXO Palm-Sized Screwdriver Kit. I'm hoping something breaks or … [Read more...]
DIY Home Decor Since I have been spending every other weekend at the lake home, I have been having a blast making my own decor. I forgot how much I love doing crafts and how relaxing it is to listen to music and let the creative juices flow. I recently posted about making pillows out of placemats, and I have made several more to match the … [Read more...]
Welcome to the "Sprucing Up and Moving In" event! I will be showing you products I have bought, things I have made, review items, and of course a few giveaways! Here are a few related posts, in case you missed them: Make your own throw pillows (out of placemats) for $6.00! As you may know, my husband and I purchased our dream retirement … [Read more...]
Laminate floor choices It just dawned on me that I didn't post pictures of our new laminate floors! The project was finished about a month ago, and we are in love with them! It was a pain while they were being done, and at one point we even had to have the installers pull up one floor they did, as they didn't make sure the floor was … [Read more...]
