Good morning, everyone! Since I’ve been project panning, I have been taking a hard look at my shopping habits. I used to be horrible! The reason is due to not tidying up my cabinets and seeing what I already had. It’s been an insane amount of things I have gone through, and I can’t believe […]
Tidying Marathon Series: My Kitchen
Let’s spark joy in this house! I’ve been absolutely loving my living room and closet area. Everything is organized, minimalist, and clean. It brings a smile to my face when I walk into these rooms because only the items I have chosen to stay are in my home. A home full of joy. Thanks, Marie […]

DIY Inexpensive Gallery Wall
Hola! To say this weekend was filled with storms is the least. Besides our grass growing a few inches taller and staying stuck in the house almost all weekend, I had to clean up several times after ourselves (mostly the dogs) due to our muddy paws.

The Budget Diaries: My Experience with Beggars
