DIY Driftwood Candle Holder
May 12, 2014My main mission for going to the beach a few weeks ago was to pick driftwood to make part of my mom’s Mother’s Day gift. I have seen driftwood candle holders in shops for $40 and upward amounts. If you have the proper circular drill bit, you can easily make your own. Now my husband and I took this project up a notch. We took the gorgeous piece of driftwood I picked from the beach and using a Sharpie marker, I…
It started with a Target flyer a couple months ago. Our magazine storage was starting to overflow and I thought the wooden chalkboard storage bin would do well to corral all of our magazines and catalogs. I tore out the ad and over lunch one day showed it to my husband. I asked him if we could build one. You might remember my post about building some things over the weekend not too long ago.

Saturday night found us…

We spent the entire day together and most of it outdoors. We spent the morning washing and waxing the cars, then headed inside to work on a project idea I’ve had hanging on the fridge for a couple months. Target had a wooden storage box with a chalkboard-painted area on the front for sale…
Girls Night Out in Downtown Westfield: Spring 2014 Edition
April 28, 2014My cousin and I attend Downtown Westfield’s Girls Night Out twice a year. Once in the Spring and again in the Fall. We’ve been registering for this event for about two years and it’s always been a good time out to enjoy discounted meals, drinks and store promotions. We both agree that the event was disappointing this time around. But we made due and still had a nice evening out. One of the better things about Girls Night Out…
