fresh ideas for home and family: DIY, home decor, kids activities, easy recipes and organizing ideas
I feel so blessed my friend Kelly (you've met her before here and here) is sharing with us today about her dog-turned-family-member, Arnie. Making Lemonade is a place where we try our very best to make lemonade out of life's sour circumstances, but also stay realistic and allow ourselves to feel down when things are hard. I know you'll give Kelly lots of love, virtual hugs, and perhaps a sloppy dog kiss or two. Our Arnie. The night before we first picked you up when you were a … [Read more...]
During the fall and winter I'm mostly a cerebral t.v. watcher-- bring on Downton Abbey and The Daily Show. But once those warm temps hit, it's as if a switch is flipped and I crave escaping into reality t.v. shows where I can chill my brain after warm days outside.

As any typical 2-year-old might, Bee kept pulling the art in his room right off the wall (and using it as a frisbee, but I digress).

The timing was perfect anyways, considering I'm *thisclose* to being done with his cars themed room makeover. After some experimenting, I came up with a few DIY wall art ideas I think you'll love. … [Read more...]
Even as a college student I'd admire the sleek kitchens in the homes of my friends' parents, run my hands along cool granite countertops, and imagine the day I could have a dream kitchen to call my own. I'd snuggle it, feed it, and... oh, wait, that's a pet. But still. That's how much I wanted a dream kitchen. I would have snuggled a dream kitchen if I could.
