I don’t know what it is with me and weeds, but I just love ’em. If I see a pretty weed flower, I’ll always have to pick it and bring it inside. And you know how I love my dandelions.  I even love pulling them in the garden. One tiny weed can have root systems […]

Today’s idea is a quick and simple one, and I like that, so I thought you might too. I’ve been meaning to do this for a month or two, ever since I saw some different topiary shapes they were selling in the Pottery Barn catalogue. I picked myself up a little $1.97 ivy from Walmart […]

I decided to get serious about whipping our front hall into shape a couple of weeks ago. I started off by pulling up the peel n stick tile off of the old hardwood. After that, we had a bit of momentum and just went for it. If you’ve been following along on Facebook, you’ve had […]

The other night I needed a little pick-me-up. I was thinking about different decorating projects I could do, but then reminding myself that I need to tackle the bigger stuff first (which I have been, believe-you-me), but then feeling like I just wish I could be “done” one little room so I could actually just […]

First of all, before we get into it today, do you want to know my big news? The Creek Line House now has a Facebook Page. I know. Wild. Better like, 6 years late than never, right? So for the past couple of days I’ve been chatting away happily to myself and 2 other people, […]

I pulled in the driveway the other day after dropping Kennedy off at school and I thought to myself “I live here. Crazy.” This thought happens often enough, and when it does, I know it’s probably time to grab my camera and go for a little walk before I start with my chores and projects […]

I’ve been waiting to be able to show you this corner of Kennedy’s room and it’s finally now at the point where I thought it would be done. Of course, it’s not.. but let’s look at it anyway, shall we? We used to have this giant old monstrosity of a TV in here for her […]

I found these great pillowcases at the dollar store the other day. They were in a pack of 2 for just $2. I didn’t know what I would do with them, but of course I found something within about 26 hours. Actually I found a few somethings. And this is one of them. Taa daa! […]

Thursday, 6:26 p.m. I sometimes wonder what homework time looks like for the families of the other kids in Kennedy’s class. Here’s what ours looks like: Juice stained face, half worn-off temporary tattoo and all. Read more about my perfect moments here.

I had a great idea. I really love those round rattan place mats that everyone has, but I sometimes have pretty large groups for dinner, so I would want to get about 10 or 12. With the cost of them, it just didn’t seem like the smartest investment right now. I started thinking about other […]
