You sit at work ALL DAY struggling to stay focused because your to do list is growing by the minute both professionally and personally and you wonder how you're going to find time to get it done.

Grilled Pineapple Upside Down Cobbler
This post is sponsored by HomeRight, all thoughts, words, and opinions are my own. Spring is in the air and of course, in the air you can smell the scent of the charcoal grill all fired up and ready to go! We've always loved the flavor that charcoal brings to our food and we grill out constantly this time of the year and throughout the summer. A few months ago I shared this Cherry Cobbler on the grill and one of my awesome readers suggested that they made a Grilled Pineapple Upside Cobbler using the same method! *Genius!* So here I am, sharing a new version of the recipe that I made in the fall...and equally as delicious and easy for this … [Read more...]

With Teacher Appreciation and the end of school quickly approaching, I thought I'd share an easy teacher gift idea that you could give a teacher that is something both fun and useful for the class! For our son's class, they earn "Dojo" points for good behavior and classroom work and once they earn enough points they get to pick a treat out of the treasure chest. So as a special thank you to my son's teacher, today I thought I'd create a DIY Classroom Reward Chest made with a wooden chest, milk paint, and mod podge!What you need for this … [Read more...]

Farmhouse Shed Makeover
This post is sponsored by Lowe's. All thoughts, words and opinions are my own.When we bought our house a year and a half ago, we knew that we had a lot of work ahead of us. We have a little ranch style house that sits on about 1.5 acres. You may even remember THIS post about the time we repainted our house, which was quite an undertaking! Well, this spring we wanted again to tackle another eyesore on the property and create a little area to sit by the front of the house and watch the kids play. Our kids like to color with chalk and play with the neighbors, but we always had to drag our back patio chairs up front to sit. So let's take a … [Read more...]
The Most Overlooked Spring Cleaning Item….
This post was sponsored by Fellowes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.I know we all have our own top priorities when it comes to Spring Cleaning...getting rid of clothes that we no longer wear, purging toys that the kids have outgrown, cleaning out the garage or basement. I'm willing to bet that you, like me, have forgotten about the most overlooked Spring Cleaning item around: cleaning out old documentation in your home!! For me, I started collecting all of our documents into a large plastic bin with hanging folders when we first got married. In that box I kept car … [Read more...]
