I love the glow of Christmas tree lights. And every year we hang our own Christmas star. This will be the twelfth year. It makes me happy. And I always do the same thing in our kitchen area – hang my mossy wreaths. Do you tend to do the same thing over and over, or [...]
So, I got these sconces at HomeGoods for $19.99 each. Cute, right? I knew they would look great somewhere but wasn’t exactly sure where to put them. My husband wasn’t home, so poor Charlie (4) had to go all over the house with me and hold them up in different spots so I could evaluate [...]
Tip: Use tree branches for decorating. Do you have a Bradford Pear tree? There are lots of them in Knoxville. Honestly, it’s not my favorite tree, because they break a lot. But there is one thing that I like about them….in the winter, you can cut branches off of a Bradford Pear tree and use [...]

Kudos to you, Sister, for finding this awesome sign on Pinterest, saying you were going to make it and then actually doing it. It’s [...]
Living on one income means our home improvement budget is…well, there pretty much IS no home improvement budget. But, you know I don’t like “no” so I do my best to make it happen anyway. The silver lining is it forces me to be more creative. A plastic surgeon I am not (or I wouldn’t [...]
TheMommyhood.com wants to help you decorate for fall by giving away this adorable spider pumpkin holder! Earlier this year, I popped into a store here in Knoxville called Ironic.

Looking for a great way to display your child’s keepsakes? Consider this idea I saw at my friend Rachel’s house.
