Lemonade Stand

Last weekend we had a garage sale after some spring cleaning and decluttering at our house. We did a Friday through Saturday sale. My girls loved helping sort out old clothes that no longer fit and were eager to help with the family sale. So when Katie asked to have a lemonade stand I said yes! Continue reading “Lemonade Stand”

Washi Tape Clothespins

Washi tape, have you seen this cute decorative tape? It is sold in most craft stores and is in many different sizes, colors and patterns. I love it, but it can also be pricey for a small roll.

I have been using it on tiny projects and am in love with this pretty little tape. Continue reading “Washi Tape Clothespins”

Key lime pie is one of my husband’s favorite desserts. Last night I went to make him one to thank him for doing something for me and I only had one can of sweetened condensed milk and my recipe calls for two. Not wanting to head to the store at 10 p.m. I decided to do some research and make my own! Now that I have made it at home fresh, I must admit it was just as good or better! I probably will never buy canned again, it was so simple and fast. Best part, no preservatives! Continue reading “DIY Sweetened Condensed Milk”
