We just moved to a new home last month. We are renting, which is a sudden change after owning our own home for the past three years. I’ve been wanting to paint the white walls since I moved in, but have to resist any temptation to do it. So I’ve now turned to my furniture...
Who says healthy food has to be boring!? This meal is good for you and full of color and flavor. This recipe makes a lot of mango salsa, so make sure to serve each tilapia fillet with a good amount on top and any left overs can be used for tortilla or pita chips. Yeah,...
Light, delicious, herb-marinated chicken breast to throw on the grill for an easy summer meal. These are so flavorful and good for you! Marinate for 30 minutes and grill the chicken for about 10 minutes. Fast and easy! I made mine on a George Foreman grill and they made my house smell almost as good...
My husband and I have been watching So You Think You Can Dance since season 2 when Benji Schwimmer was on the show. We lived in California at the time and went to see a live taping of the show, and it didn’t hurt that my husband knew Benji, and that he is also named...
For some reason I have been so reluctant to write this post. I kept putting it off because I didn’t want to look like I was trying to show off or trying to make myself seem better than everyone else. That is definitely not my intention for this post, so to help me out I...
I was in the dollar store the other day when I passed by this cute little owl piggy bank. It was horribly painted multiple colors and looked busy and cheap. My daughter’s room is decorated with owls so I bought the piggy bank and after three coats of spray paint it fits in with her...
This is a fast, easy dinner that tastes amazing. I have a basil plant sitting in my kitchen and I have been trying to find a recipe to use some of the tasty fresh leaves in. This one was worthy! 🙂 My boys were licking their plates clean. We use cheese tortellini to keep it...
This is a fancy meal perfect for a special occasion. I made it last night for Father’s Day and it was incredible. It was creamy and zesty without being too in-your-face-lemony. The flavors were perfect together. Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 lb angel hair pasta 3 tablespoons butter 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 pound raw shrimp...
This is a sweet and tangy homemade BBQ sauce that is easy to make and is so good. This makes a little more than 3 cups of sauce so you can use it for a few meals. We made ribs one night and BBQ chicken pizza the next night. Because I used this in meals...
This is not my idea and you may have seen it floating around Pinterest, but I thought I would share in case you haven’t. (I originally found the idea here.) So the idea is to buy a copy of “Oh the Places You’ll Go” for each child and secretly have all of their teachers sign...

Was this a ceramic vase, by chance? My husband gifted me with the most hideously colored vase (that he thinks is lovely),and the only way that I can possibly keep it is if I paint over the diarrhea color.
Pattie,
Yes, it is a ceramic vase. Mine wasn’t diarrhea color (ew), but it was pretty ugly. If you decide to spray paint yours just start with a primer and then spray it whatever color you want. The best part is you can spray it again if you change your decor in a few years. Good luck, let me know if you have any questions!
