I don’t used shampoo on my hair…at all. I haven’t “washed” my hair in over 6 months. I know some of you are probably thinking eww, right now, but stick with me for just a minute. Yes, I do shower regularly. Yes, my hair is clean. What I mean by...

No, no, I’m not pregnant. Lord help my I might fall over dead if I found out I was. My three boys are more than enough for me right now. Anyways, the “it” I am referring to is an adorable, 3 week old little dachshund-pug puppy. Yep, we are getting a puppy! It all started...

I am so incredibly excited to finally get started painting my new home. Apparently the people that lived here before us completely trashed the house (we are renters) and whoever the property owner hired to repaint and fix the house up did a less than stellar job. The walls were painted this...

I love upcycling! There is something so satisfying about taking an item that would otherwise be discarded and transforming it into something great. I especially love upcycling around the holidays since crafting can get pretty expensive. I have been seeing so many great upcycled ideas around...

While searching around the web for a good basic diaper cover crochet pattern I became quite frustrated by the lack of well written patterns. So I just decided to put my own together and post it for anyone else that had faced the same frustration that I had. Well, it turns out the pattern was...

I do love a good linky party. As a matter of fact, I am preparing to add one to my weekly blog calendar in the very near future. Here is a list of some linky parties I love. SUNDAY Everyday Sisters My Backyard Eden Under the Table and Dreaming MONDAY All Thingz Related Cottage...

Since my last post about our new Advent Calendar, we have been having lots of fun doing the activities inside each little gift bag. For our game night we got a new game, Connect Four Launchers. That was a big hit, I mean what boy doesn’t love launching things across the table. Of...

This is one of my Pinterest inspired projects. I have had this idea pinned for some time now, anticipating using it in my kids’ bathroom to hold their tooth brushes. Then I ran into an issue with the new cleaning schedule: I had no where to put the markers. Then I remembered this idea...

If you haven’t read my Cleaning Schedule Post you should go have a look. I put the schedule together in the hopes that I would finally find a way to get a handle on keeping my house clean. You would think that, with Hubby and I both staying home all the time, we would be able to keep a...

I know this is sort of a controversial topic for many families and I want to preface this with the fact that I do not pretend to know what the right choice is. I am only doing what I believe is best for MY family and do not fault anyone for doing the same. We do not teach our children that...

This post was supposed to be up yesterday, but with it being the Peanut’s birthday I didn’t get a chance to post. Anyways, this is the first year we decided to do an advent calendar. I am just in a super creative mood this year and really want to do as many fun activities with...

Some of you may know that in addition to this blog, where I share many ideas and inspiration for my craftiness, I also have an online boutique where I sell some of my creations. Studio412 Boutique is how I fund all these crafty adventures and of course, another way that I can share my...

Hubby and I have finally gotten to a point where we can take some time and get our house fixed up. We have been here for about 2 months and the disorganization and lack of style are finally getting to us. I want to have people over for Christmas and be proud of my home, right now it’s...

I NEVER go out on Black Friday. I like to do my shopping from the comfort of my home on my computer. However, I recently moved to a house that is about 5 minutes away from Michael’s. So, with my 30% off coupon in hand, I ventured out late Thursday night to see what kind of deals I...

Happy Thanksgiving! This is my absolute favorite time of the year, Thanksgiving through Christmas. This year we had a small celebration with just my hubby and the boys. I thought it was going to be strange since we usually have a gathering, but it was actually really nice. Hubby made...
