My Life as a DIY Wannabe
What a busy (yet wonderful) weekend! On Saturday my hubby and I worked on giving our master bedroom a bit of a makeover! I’ll have the reveal coming next week… I can’t wait to show you! But most of this weekend was spent celebrating Easter. It all began on Saturday evening at my parent’s house. Since [...]
Happy Hump Day everyone! This morning I thought I’d share some photos from my little girl’s first ever soccer game from this past weekend! My daughter Ellie has participated in ballet and tap for the past 2 years (yes, she’s only 4 but her social life is more active than mine!), but recently she’s wanted [...]
So today I’m getting the interior of my house painted! And yes, I’m having someone else do the job. While I could easily do it myself (and I did the last time), I work a full time job, plus have a kid, husband, dog, cook, clean, and tend to mounds of laundry (oh, and blogging [...]
OK, I guess I’ll jump on this bandwagon and write down my Home Goals for 2012! The Nester is having a Home Goals linky party today and I might as well make a To Do List for the big house projects I want to accomplish this year. So here we go! 1. GREAT ROOM MAKEOVER [...]
I can’t believe I forgot to tell you…I got a NEW CAMERA! Yes, I’ve been wanting one for a long time and my hubby got me my very own DSLR Canon T2i for Christmas with an 18-55mm lens! I picked a Canon since my brother in law is a professional photographer and he has a [...]
It’s hard to believe that it’s 2012 already. Last year flew by so fast and created some incredible memories… went “live” with my blog back in May, a fantastic family trip to the beach, an incredible 30th birthday party, redecorated my daughter’s bedroom (plus many other DIY projects), got a new puppy… and of course [...]
WOW, what a year! I went “live” with this little blog back on May 23rd as a way to record my DIY projects while my hubby was off working nights and weekends. I could have never dreamed that 7 months later I would have over 700 Facebook followers and a daily average of about 5,000 [...]
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I’m taking it easy this week enjoying some family time but thought I’d pop in to say hello! While I’ll share my some more from the holiday weekend tomorrow, here’s a little gift I just had to share. My hubby knows that I’m obsessed with a little [...]
In case you missed it, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving I was asked to do a craft segment on a local morning show, Great Day St. Louis on KMOV Channel 4. They’ve been having video trouble on their website for the past couple of weeks and luckily it’s finally resolved! So what project am I sharing? [...]
So for any of you who may not be “friends” with How to Nest for Less on Facebook, then you probably haven’t heard the exciting news! Great Day St. Louis from KMOV Channel 4 asked me to do a craft segment on their morning show next Tuesday, November 22nd (the day after my 30th birthday, [...]
