Do you have a dresser that you love, but you just aren't quite satisfied with it? That was me when I looked at the curlicue dresser I redid for my daughter's room. Do you remember how I transformed a dark stained triple dresser to a light and bright gray and white dresser with a curlicue pattern? I loved how it fits into her room--the curlicues gives it so much whimsy, which fits into the butterfly and fairy theme. There was only one thing that I wished I had done differently: the hardware. I stripped the hardware and gave it a rustic faux enamel look with chalk paint, but it wasn't nearly as light and bright as I wanted it to be.

So this weekend, my husband and I took 10 minutes and completely changed the look!  How? By changing out the knobs!


This is perfect for you if you're looking to quickly change the look of a piece, especially when you don't want to invest the time to change the finish (or you like the finish, you just want a different vibe).

Hey ya'll. I know that this menu comes a little late; I had every intention to send it out earlier but I was enjoying a weekend where everyone was home, everyone (in my immediate family) is well, no birthday parties occured, and I didn't have to work. It's nice to have a weekend where we just rested and had a little bit of fun.

Howdy folks!! Man, it's been a long time since I've posted a recipe or tutorial. Part of why I've been MIA is that I've been prepping for the twins' birthday party. They  wanted a Star Wars birthday party, and they wanted to feature their favorite character: Chewbacca. I've made it clear that I'm no expert cake decorator, but even my limited skills can change some simple store bought cake mix and canned frosting into amazing Chewbacca cupcakes that will make any Star Wars fan happy!

Well, here we are! We've survived another week, and now it's time to look ahead and plan the menu for the next week! We had loads of fun for the twins' Star Wars birthday & I can't wait to share with you an easy way to make Chewbacca cupcakes!! This week, I'm hoping things will calm down a little bit and get back to normal.


Here's the plan for the week:

Monday: Fiesta Twice Baked Potatoes Broccoli, Bread


Tuesday: Pasta with dressed up sauce
Wednesday: Chik-Fil-A (we have a gift card that needs to be used)
Thursday: Crockpot Beef Stew, Salad



Friday: Pesto Caprese Chicken, Rice, Salad



Saturday: Hamburgers on the grill, salad, fruit
Sunday: Leftovers

What are you eating this week?

Y'all. I had every intent to blog like normal last week. However, the stomach bug that hit my kids last weekend kept hitting them and took my husband down for the count, too. I literally didn't have a full nights sleep for over a week and my laundry kept piling up as a result of the bug, too. Combine that with a major deadline at work coming up this week, and I just simply didn't have much extra time. I'm hoping to share a simple project this week, but in the the meantime, let's just talk meal planning? Obviously, our meal plan went out the window because I was the only person eating normal food all week. I have to say that I'm pretty excited to have flavor again.


Here's the plan for the week:
