Happy New Year… mom’s New Year that is! It’s that time of year again when summer is coming to a close and all of us moms are running around trying to get all of our kids ready for the new school year. If you’re like me, you’re excited. Excited for a fresh start. New clothes. […]

WHERE IS YOUR MOM’S ZEBRA RUG FROM? This is one of my favorite decorating hacks to share. Have you ever found a print or style of carpet that you love, but you need it as a rug. Well I’ve got some good news for you! You can take carpet and have it turned into a […]
