Tag, You’re it!

Need some tags in your life?!

Don’t we all!!  Well, I just wanted to share some cute and super easy tags I made for a summer birthday party we just had for my twins, that turned 4.  Wow!  How time flies when you’re chasing around twins!!  Seems like only yesterday these little dudes couldn’t even talk… and now I’m racking my brain on how to get Cruz to stop dropping the F-bomb.

Thrift Store Hunting

Hi there!

Last Friday I was lucky enough to make it into two thrift stores, the Restore and Goodwill.  And wouldn’t you know that the Goodwill (at least the one near me) has 50% on Fridays during the summer?!  It’s always fun to see what someone has donated and even more fun when you come home with a new treasure or project or BOTH!

Foreshadowing?  Yes!  One of these is now chillin’ in the garage along with 10 other projects.  Oy vey!

And it worked, for a minute.  We went through our fair share of zip ties, but that solution has done the trick.  Now the problem?  It just looked pretty tired.  Neglected.  Oh, and it was dragging on the floor… so sad. Continue Reading
