I was able to stretch my sweater! My thrifted new-to-me 100% cotton sweater ended up in the dryer and shrank down to kid size. I washed it again and was able to stretch it out! Success! If I couldn’t fix it, I was going to reduce the arm length down for my son since it…
We recently reorganized our office. I decided that I wanted to reduce the amount of books I had in the office and the house. I spent a lot of March going through our home again working towards moderation. There is now one adult bookcase, one son bookcase, and a small living room bookshelf. This is…

Please do not buy confetti balloons. If you must, please do not pop them outside. If you pop them outside, do not do it on a windy day and pickup/vacuum all the confetti. I did a campus cleanup at my son’s school last month and I was still finding confetti in the grass four months…
Sharing my book haul from Birdhouse Books and Gifts. My son had two on his list that he wanted from his book field trip last week and then of course I always grab more for him and for me. Abby has a lot of puzzles for kids and adults in her store so make sure…

I tried something new recently! I went to Bella Beauty College for a hair trim by one of their cosmetology students. Can’t tell the difference, good! They cleaned up 2 inches of split ends and layers from growing my hair out the last year and a half. It’s nice to not have tangly hair. If…
