A few days ago I was wondering what I could do for small Mother’s Day gifts with Dax. I saw my friend Anna’s blog post with some adorable potted cacti, and I decided to do something similar. First things first? We headed to Home Depot and picked up some cute little succulents, soil, inexpensive pots, [...]

For Christmas I received the book The Handbuilt Home from the hubby (after sneakily sending him my amazon wishlist), and we were anxious to start a project from the book soon after. We decided to start with something quick and easy, and I thought that these gallery shelves would be perfect right above my desk. [...]
