March 25, 2024 02:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MBWhen we spend too much time around something (or someone!) we stop noticing all the things that make them special and unique, and we start taking it for granted. The same can be true for our home, as well. After living in your home for awhile, you stop noticing and appreciating all the things that you originally loved about your space. You start taking it for granted. Let's talk about how we can fall in love with our home again, and it doesn't have to cost a lot of money! MENTIONED Are You...

'Twas the Night Before Thrifting! - #133
December 10, 2023 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.2 MB‘Twas the night before thrifting, when all through the house Not an outfit needed washing, not even a blouse; The laundry was folded by the dryer with care, In hopes that tomorrow I’ll buy more things to wear; My husband was nestled all snug in our bed, Asleep after accusing that I’m hoarding again; And my boys in their jammies, asleep in a snap, “Finally! I’m free!” I whisper and clap, When out in the garage there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Down t...

Do You HAVE to Sand or Prime Furniture Before Painting?? - #128
October 23, 2023 00:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MBDon't believe furniture paint brands that claim you can always skip sanding and priming before painting. I think that's a gimmick to get more people to think their product is the easiest to use for painting furniture. In truth, there are times when you CAN skip sanding and priming, and there are time when you MUST sand and prime first. In this episode, we will talk about when you can jump right into painting wood and projects, and when you have to do more prep work! Projects Mentioned My ...

The Real Meaning of "Home" - #121
August 06, 2023 17:00 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MBMy family and I just returned from Ghana, Africa after a 3-week vacation to visit family. I left America with a mindset of showing my kids how much "better" their home in America was; I wanted them to see others "struggling" and how much "privilege" they had living in America. But I got it all wrong. "Home" is so much more than just how it looks. The lesson I learned was much more poignant. Read the blog post HERE.

May 28, 2023 23:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MBYou don't have to be overweight to have the metabolic disorder known as "pre-diabetes."

April 15, 2023 00:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBJust when the interior of my she-shed is "done" and ready to be turned into pretty office space with a workshop area, it's become invaded by clover mites! These little red bugs aren't harmful to humans, but are a major nuisance. They're super tiny and can barely be distinguished between flecks of normal dust and actual clover mites (they're part of the spider family). It's been a bit traumatizing!

THIS Is How You STOP Projects From Taking So Long - #108
March 25, 2023 03:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBThere's a saying: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." While that definitely puts fear in us to plan, a lack of planning doesn't necessary lead to complete failure. Rather, it makes us frustrated, can cost extra money, and waste time. However, your project may still turn out spectacular! :) The problem is that all that extra work makes DIY projects take so long and can suck the joy out of the creative process. Here are some questions to ask yourself before starting on a project so that ...

While that's how I personally love to journal, for you it can be whatever you would like it to be. And it doesn't have to be a deep dive into your emotions. You can journal to document your home and its transformation, including documenting your DIY projects!
