Summer is in full swing. The long pool days, hot summer nights and popsicles on the porch have us holding on to it as long as we can. One of my favourite ways to decorate in the summer is with fresh flowers and fruit. Flowers make me so happy, and fruit is so colourful, so […]
Container gardening is all the rage right now. Many people are becoming interested in growing their own food, however with the high costs of housing and the density of most modern cities, container gardening often ends up as the most feasible option. Container gardening is the method of growing plants in containers (think planters, pots, […]
As a mum of three boys, my life pretty much revolves around laundry. IT. NEVER. STOPS.I need a detergent that cleans clothes, cuts through tough stains, works well on both whites and colours, eliminates odours, and isn’t full of nasty chemicals. It’s also nice if I can find an affordable option, since I use so […]
Need to challenge your little ones to do something different for a morning or afternoon? DIY marble mazes are not only fun to create but fun to play with after they have been completed. I found colourful puffs that look edible, but they aren’t; they are the most amazing craft material. They are non-toxic and biodegradable, […]
Ready or not, summer has arrived… and with it comes barbecue season. Outdoor parties are a great way to celebrate the season with friends and family, and they also provide the perfect excuse to do some fun craft projects. While barbecues are usually casual affairs, that doesn’t mean that you can’t add a few unique […]
Mobiles provide baby with visual stimulation while they lay in their crib, giving them something to engage with as they drift off to sleep. And while there are plenty of options that you can buy, there’s a shortage in the market for modern mobiles that coordinate well with contemporary nurseries. The vast majority are made […]
Last week my kids were invited to a birthday party, so we bought a fun Find It Hidden Object game to give as a gift. After purchasing the game, I realised how easy and fun it would make to make a DIY version of the game. After all, we have enough tiny items in our junk drawer […]
Steel appliances and white cabinets with geometric white backsplash tile are key players in my kitchen dreams. And after a recent remodel, my outdated kitchen got a swoon-worthy makeover. Now, I need to break up all that white and steel with some warm, natural accent pieces. Wood cutting boards and colourful towels were a good […]
During the holiday season, I shared a fantastic (and easy) way to add a DIY embellishment to a pair of velvet heels. Since I received a compliment nearly every time I wore them, I decided to transform another pair of shoes for the summer months. It’s only fair, right? Instead of vintage bling, this time I […]
We get it, you’re a bit shy when it comes to adding bold décor statements to your home; it’s tough to know where to start. But the baby nursery is one room in the house where you can really let your creativity blossom… because after all, you want to encourage your baby to embrace that […]
Emotions are running high in my house this year. If one of my girls isn’t rolling her eyes, then the other one is sticking out her tongue. And, fine, I’ll admit that some of those eye rolls, deep sighs, and scowls come from me, too. But, there’s also a lot of laughing, blown kisses, and […]
There are two items I love inside my house at all times, flowers and photographs. They make me happy, and lift my spirits.
