Chairs are always a fun makeover to tackle because you can usually find them for pretty cheap. Or have an old one lying around your house! This one was no exception, costing a whopping $5. Here’s the before… It had two old, gross layers of fabric on it that I removed, and unfortunately the wood used for the seat had seen better days and needed to be replaced too. That’s an easy f...

Growing up an only child in the 70’s was not very common. I was always accused of being spoiled and self centered. I spent a lot of time defending myself, explaining I did not get everything I wanted handed to me on a silver platter, and this was not my choice that I was an only child. Life was good for most part in our family, until the day my parents decided they no longer wanted to... Read More »
This afternoon I was listening to music on YouTube for the first time in a while. I usually have my music on my phone, that way I can listen to it on the go. I didn’t realize how much I missed watching videos on YouTube until I stumbled across Craig Morgan’s “This Ain’t Nothing” music video.

WIRL Project wants to shed light on this subject because there are so many st... Read More »
My husband and I travel often and to many places. Sometimes our trips are week long extravaganzas but normally they are a few days here and there set aside to explore smaller towns full of character. There are many trips that have been memorable. Quebec City and Montreal. Jekyll Island, Georgia. Ten days trekking along the Blue Ridge Trail in North Carolina and Virginia. Napa and Sonoma. It would ... Read More »
Dear Taco Bell, Your incessant commercials on my Pandora every morning finally peaked this prego’s interest enough for me to give you a chance. It’s a mistake I will never make again. I feel like I’ve been catfished. Your chicken biscuit taco was more like a chicken flavored hashbrown wrapped in cardboard. You’ve ruined my day and now I don’t know that I can ever trus...
