I’m crashing the end of Thrifty Decor Chick’s Goodwill Party, in the hopes that I can count on all of you brilliant bloggers and readers for some good advice about my Goodwill find. I found the lovely lamp at Goodwill a while back for a mere $5. I really like the shape and style. I […]

Budget Boys Room Decor
April 24, 2009 by 16 Comments
Guest post by Kendra’s sister, Trina, who isn’t only insanely creative, but also extremely cheap–that runs in our family, too! 🙂 I feel unqualified to talk about home décor because I don’t do too much of it, and what I do do is more often dictated most by how inexpensively it can be done. So, […]

So, in the blogging world, is it fashionable to come late to a party, or is it rude? Because I am doing it every time! But you know I hate to miss a good party, so I dash over for a little bit, anyway! Today (it’s today for 20 more minutes!), Southern Hospitality is hosting […]

January 6, 2009 by 13 Comments
I was really excited about the gifts my kids gave their teachers this year for Christmas. (The pictures really don’t do them justice.)
