We love our Redcore Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove!

We love our Redcore Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove!

When we bought our home 3 ½ years ago, my first thought since we live in the Midwest was: Since we didn’t have a fireplace, so how would we heat the majority of our home? Sure we have a gas furnace, but when we want to warm the first floor without having to keep the furnace on for a lengthy amount of time, I...

Our Family Portrait by Gallery Direct

Our Family Portrait by Gallery Direct

Last month, I posted about Gallery Direct’s Acrylic Mounted Image. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this entire concept. We all have seen framed portraits and canvas, but there’s something about the acrylic mount that I am madly in love with! We have a 1900 home, so our walls are taller than the average...

Redcore 15602 S-2 Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove

Redcore 15602 S-2 Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove

We live in a drafty 1900 home where we have air leaks in places we didn’t realize. To cut costs, we pretty much live in out flannel and footed pajamas in the winter so we won’t have our heat constantly running. One thing I wish we had in our home is a fireplace, but with the era of this home, that was a sacrifice...

Holiday Scents from Scentsy

Holiday Scents from Scentsy

With the holidays so close, there’s one thing that I love in my house and that’s the smell of the holidays. Having two small kids in the house, I don’t like to have candles in my house, so this is where Scentsy is here to help. I am a huge fan of Scentsy, so I was excited to check out some of their new fall...

Easy & Affordable Room Makeover with Wall Sticker Outlet

Easy & Affordable Room Makeover with Wall Sticker Outlet

If you have been keeping up with my home updates, I have been quite the busy bee the last few months. I started with this dungeon section in my basement that once had a washing machine and used for storage. Looks pretty scary, doesn’t it? I spent countless hours in this room cleaning it out and mapping how I wanted...

Master Lock Portable Key Safe

Master Lock Portable Key Safe

When I was growing up, I remember having some friends that were ‘latch key kids’ (kids that carried a house key with them to school because their parents worked outside the home). These days, there are better things where the key doesn’t have to be carried around and may be lost. Master Lock is here to save...

Protect your memories with SentrySafe

Protect your memories with SentrySafe

We bought our home 3 years ago, and at that time, we never really thought about “What happens to our important papers if our house was to catch fire?” We started thinking about this recently with the West Texas fires and state wide fire ban about our valuables like the deed to our home, all of our birth certificates,...

Organization with Neat Containers!

Organization with Neat Containers!

When it comes to organizing my home, I like everything in its place. When it comes to my office, everything has to be in its place. I have a pretty nice size office that used to be used for nothing but storage for paint, tools, home repair needs and was once half of our laundry room. Half; meaning my washer used...
