FLASHBACK TO 2021 Video From 2021 At The Bottom My all time favorite DIY in my life is definitely my Ikea Pax Closet! I designed this layout myself using the Ikea Pax Planner (which they changed the format to completely in the middle of my planning, so I had to start over - le sigh)....but then, I did it and I built it all by myself! If you've been thinking about updating your closet, you can do it!! I got tons of inspiration online from other peoples Ikea Pax closet journe

Yes my name is Lisa, but I also call myself dd. These days I call myself dd when I’m like, “You got this dd” when I’m trying to figure something out or “What are you doing dd”, kind of yelling at myself when I do something stupid. But you see, I didn’t name myself this alter ego, it was lovingly given to me! It all started when my best friend Tami and her husband Trevor had their first child, Noela. We call her Noe for short. When she was a baby we were trying to get her

The Mudroom. Who doesn’t want a mudroom? Do you have one too? Technically it’s just a fancy laundry area with storage for all your junk right? (I will not be opening the cabinet doors today). I don’t really remember when these became popular, but all I know is that I wanted one! When I first moved into this house almost 18 years ago, there was no indoor laundry. And by this, I mean that I had to go to the garage, which isn’t even attached to the house, to do my laundry.

YOU GOT THIS! One of my favorite motivations! Well I guess, actually, to say it properly, it is “You’ve Got This”…but, I’m not usually very proper – LOL. You Got This! It’s posted in my Mudroom on a plaque. I think this and I try to be this and live this. I try to motivate myself to think that I can do anything and everything that I set my mind too! Well actually, look at me, I finally started this blogging webpage, so I guess I do got this! I'm a blogger! Now, I a

I can’t remember how this idea came about, but I think it’s a good idea for anyone like me, so I wanted to share! Maybe it’s because I went to Catholic School my whole life and I had to wear a uniform every day, so I have a hard time getting dressed most days, especially in the morning. I am not, I repeat, NOT, a morning person! Sometimes trying to figure out what I wanted to wear, would make me late for work, because I would change like three or four times and still be u

The Primary: How big is your bedroom? Are you lucky enough to have a decent sized space? Although I did consider myself lucky to have a wonderful primary bedroom before the addition, with lots of windows and a decent size 1940’s closet…I wanted this new bedroom to be big! Did I need all that space? No. Did it have to be huge? No. I wanted it to FEEL big though. Mission accomplished. The bedroom is not huge, but it’s not small either. It’s roomy! The other bedrooms

One day right after Thanksgiving 2020, I looked down at my Apple Watch and couldn’t read it – what? I did one of those things where you kind of shake your head and close your eyes and then take a look again…nope, still blurry. Well it was blurry, but this was the first time it all started, so it wasn’t that bad yet, but seriously, how does this happen over night? Like Thursday I could see and now Friday I can’t?! This doesn’t make any sense! Anyways, so it took me a whil

I think all weekends should be 3 full days…Now, I am unfortunately not one of the lucky ones that got to stay home today for Presidents Day, but oh how I wish I was. You see, this weekend was very unproductive for me. The first day, Saturday, I tried and tried and tried to sleep in – forcing myself to try to sleep and I eventually said forget about it. I got up and made a Double Espresso Latte and got back in bed to paruse anything and everything…the Publix ad, Trader Joes
