I have to laugh when I get an email or a comment saying, “you are so lucky to be married to such a handy guy” or “We’re just not handy around the house~we could never do these kinds of things.”
When we were married, we knew nothing about diy or home repair. NOTHING.our first apartment: what in the heck is wrong with this shower head?

the last of the peeps. My kids’ favorite thing is to microwave them for 12 seconds and eat them with a spoon. I have never been a fan of them in any form.
My parents and sister came to visit! Oh, I miss them so much. When they come, it’s like Christmas for us all. 
I loved looking through each of your spring projects that were little money, little time. It’s fun to get to know you all a little better and see your crazy creative skills. Here is just a sampling from the party:
I wanted to display some favorite pictures in our master bedroom, but did not want to spend $20 a pop on gallery frames with mats. I checked on buying mats separately, or even cutting my own from mat board, but I wanted to keep it very simple and very inexpensive. here’s what I did:
1. buy 11X14 frames from the Dollar Tree. I just ordered a pack of 10 online and then picked them up in the store.
2. find the least dented part of a piece of white posterboard and trace around the glass, then cut it out. I took a mat with a 4X6 cutout from another picture I had and traced the 4X6 opening in the center.
3. cut the shorter 2 edges with my handy cutter, 
4. then use a metal ruler and an exacto knife for the longer edges. Use cardboard underneath so you don’t slash anything up!
5. Insert your favorite pictures behind the posterboard.
6. Love that you spent around $10 framing some of your favorite memories. :)
(still trying to figure what to do with that alarm clock)
breakdown:
poster board from Kroger~I used 4 because mine were pretty dented up. $2.76
4X6 pictures (5, then I framed a favorite note from him) $1.45
Total: $10.56
yesssssssssssssssss. :) You could completely stay under $10 if you found a couple of clean, undented posterboard for 2/$1 at the dollar store. Mostly, the savings was in the frames.Thank you Dollar Tree!
Hello! We are coming off of spring break/Easter weekend and it is hitting hard. It was such a nice break, and I’m slowly trying to get back into things. A few tidbits from the past few weeks:
Lots of hard boiled egg sandwiches around here!
