Classy Sassy DIY and More

 Welcome back friends and family.  I wanna share this great idea with you all.  We all share the bathroom in our house.  We have a second "master bath" but it's no bigger than a closet and there is no room to get ready in there.  We only use it for the shower.  So this family of 4 shares one bathroom to get ready in the morning.  Fortunately for us, we all have different schedules and are not all trying to get in the bathroom all at the same time.  One of my pet peeves is the amount of yuck when it comes to teeth brushing.  There is the waste of using paper cups, or using the same cup over and over again (YUCK), the spit being on the counter, toothpaste somehow being on the wall and floor, the mouthwash spilling everywhere.  I decided enough was enough.  I found that if you put the mouthwash in a soap dispenser and use 6 pumps it dispenses the perfect amount of mouthwash and there is no spilling.  I found the soap dispenser at ...

 Welcome back friends and family. Have you ever gone online searching for organizational tips for small spaces?  I have many times over the years.  I absolutely hate when I go online and search for organization tips and such for small spaces and get these posts promising that and see they've got big walk in pantries or a lot of cabinets space or whatever.  Does this annoy you also?   I love my home, don't get me wrong, but it has very little in the way of cabinets, or storage space in general.  My kitchen has exactly 7 cabinets and 2 are only about 6 inches wide.  I had no pantry at all until my sweet husband bought me a storage cabinet to put in the kitchen.  So when I try to organize any of my spaces it drives me crazy cause I have so many ideas but can not implement any of them because of space.  Oh, and I should also mention, my laundry room is in the kitchen too.  This is not a how to or DIY post. This is more of a this is what...

Welcome back friends and family. Today if like to show you a quick little DIY. I found this  little sign at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago and thought it was cute as is but wanted to make it just a bit better.  Now, like I said, this is cute as is and can easily be placed on a shelf or a tired tray and be perfect for you. I wanted it to be a little extra. I removed the flower but will keep it for another project. It came right out without any extra tools or anything.  The next thing I did was to sand away any rough surface around the hole. Once that was done I used just a regular black sharpie and put dots and small lines all along the outside of the letters just to make them stand out just a little more. I think it really made the letters pop and made it look just a bit more high end.  I found this really cute garland with wooden beads and these little circles with sailboats back when Dollar Tree had all their nautical décor out at t...

Welcome back friends and family. Today we are gonna combine cleaning with a little crafting.  How many of us, while cleaning house, find things that belong in the kids rooms or the living room or the bathroom or even your room?  Well, in this post I'm going to show you how I've taken steps to combat this because this drives me crazy when I already clean like I have ADHD. Now I'm not saying anything negative about ADHD because both my kids have been diagnosed with ADHD so I understand how this can affect someone and their lives. I'm simply saying that when I clean I cannot stay focused on a task because I'm constantly picking things up and going to another room where I see something else that needs to be done and I start working on that, etc. I then forget to go back and finish what I've already started. I still struggle with this every time I clean but this little tip/trick has helped a lot. I also call this "Chaotic Cleaning". I have found these great...

Welcome back friends and family. Did you know that Dollar Tree's LA's Totally Awesome brand has a ton of products for your home?  There is everything from the original cleaner (yellow stuff in the bottle) to laundry detergent to bathroom cleaner.  I just got some of the original cleaner last weekend and I've got to tell you it is totally awesome.                              (This is a stock photo taken from Dollar Tree's website.) I did some checking around and have found that this can be purchased at other retailers and other online store but it is more expensive and you get less product. This bottle here is $1.25 for 32 Fl. Oz. Or 12 for $15.00.  You can get 2 bottles of the exact same thing on Amazon but they are currently $10 but it was $14.99.  I love Amazon and shop online all the time but why pay $5 when I can pay $1.25?  Again I love to save money and do things with a...

Hi friends and family. Yes that means you. My name is Angie and I'm starting this blog to bring you information on DIYs and other projects for your home that will be cost effective and fun.  Let me tell you about our little family  I am a busy wife of almost 21 years. My husband (Marty) is amazing. He works hard and is an amazing dad to our 2 children. He's a restaurant manager and is a great handy man. I swear he can fix anything.  We have 2 children, as I said. Our son (Bub) is 20 and is going to college to be an engineer. He also works at one of our local Kroger stores. He really enjoys his job in the produce section. Our daughter (Sis) is 9 (10 in Sept).  We adopted her when she was 3. She is our sweet, sassy, wild child. She's got a heart of gold but as most kids at her age, she likes to test her parents nerves. She loves music and video games, just like her big brother. I work a full time job at one of the busiest veterinarian clinic in our area. I'...
