When you go thrifting (if you go thrifting) do you always look for the same item? Do you always head straight to the dishes in hopes of finding some vintage Pyrex or straight to the furniture section for your next piece to redo? I love to check out a few sections. Pictures frames, toys, baskets, and linens are a few of my favorites. Lately, I have had some afghan confusion. Every time I walk into a thrift store I see at least one afghan for sale. I am confused! Why do people part with these Continue Reading
The Way I Thrift
Do you frequent thrift stores and look for treasures? I do! I know it can seem dirty and a way to bring germs into your home, but there is nothing a little sanitizer, Clorox wipes, bleach bath, or hot run in the washer can't fix!

Thrifting Treasures
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. We had an amazing day! It was our first time to host, and we had Matt's extended family over.

Costumes for Cheap
I am always excited to find dress up clothes really cheap. My kids LOVE to dress up, and I love to encourage it! For Reagan's birthday in January, I have thought it would be cool to give her a box full of dress up clothes. Our house currently only inhabits Spiderman, batman, Buzz Lightyear, Woody the Cowboy, etc type of costumes. We need some girl stuff for this princess of mine! Yesterday I went to my local thrift store and there was a whole aisle of Halloween costumes! I was THRILLED! Continue Reading
