Decluttering the Office

Hey there! I have been working through our third bedroom, our office/hoarder/storage/forgot-we-had-a-third-bedroom-space. It’s been overwhelming regarding its unlimited amount of paperwork and old memorabilia just placed in wrong areas. It took a few days, and I finally came to the realization that I needed help from my husband in drilling some shelves on the inside […]

My Very Strange Weekend Crafting

Hi everyone! I am not a known crafter, but I started making decor and gifts a couple of years ago to save more money. I wasn’t all into it because most of the time, the projects I picked were out of my knowledge base and I had to buy the entire list (sometimes DIY is […]

Homemade Hazelnut Milk

Hello everyone! As an urban hippy, I must say I did enjoy this (extremely long) process of making my very first batch of hazelnut milk in my kitchen. I recently acquired the book Run Fast Eat Slow by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky. This superstar team came out with a cookbook, whaaaaat?? Of course I […]

2016 Intentions

Hey, all! I believe we all should continue to add on to our intentions to outline our 2016. I am a strong believer in the written word; I make things happen only when I do this. It is sometimes difficult to sit down and take about 30 minutes out of your day to create this […]

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. Well, and, shoes. This inspired me to continue my […]
