I finally used up all of my old paper I’ve been hoarding for years, so this year I added a few new Christmas gift wrapping ideas to the mix! I’m one of those that buys paper and bows on clearance and then use them the next year. There’s usually no “theme” and it’s a hodgepodge …

My kids are 11 and 8 and over the years, we’ve tried to find a simple project or two that we can make at Christmas. What I’ve learned is if it’s too complicated, we all get frustrated and it’s not exactly the “family fun day” I envisioned. But, I’ve got a few for you today …

It’s about that time to bust out the paper, ribbons, scissors, and tape and get busy wrapping all these amazing gifts. And I’ll admit. I’m traditionally a cheapo when it comes to wrapping. I buy the clearance paper after Christmas is over and use it until it’s gone. I swore I wouldn’t buy any new …

Cheap Halloween decorations are right up my alley. I love Halloween as much as my kids do, but I’m cheap (or should I say frugal to make it sound better?). So every year I hit up the Dollar Tree and the Target Dollar Spot for some things to add some more spooky to my house. …
I’m such a lazy decorator that I pretty much use the same grapevine wreath on my front door for every season. I just change out the decor using cheap supplies and call it good. I finished our Halloween decorations this year and my fall wreath and porch decor didn’t fit in. So I hit up …
I painted our kitchen cabinets and changed them from a dark stain to white. Since then, I’ve had a lot of questions on how to do it, what paint to use, and what steps to take to make sure it turns out great. When I painted ours, it was a process over several weeks. However, …
My “theme” this year for fall decorating is simple and cheap. Actually, I wouldn’t even call it a theme. I’m one of those lazy fall decorators that puts up a few pumpkins and calls it good until the Halloween decor comes out. But, I’ve got a crazy simple and cheap project for you to spiff …
