Divided Daisies
The split sunflowers were quite easy to create, yet were noticed by all who saw them. So I did a version with daisies. Just add a rich, dark color for the background and they work great for autumn nails. Step 1: Prep Nails View my post on Nail Polish Prep. Step 2:...
Pico de Gallo
Back in February, I posted a picture of my youngest (18 months at the time) snacking on my homemade pico de gallo. I have received several requests, since then, to get my recipe. I usual just tell people to throw things in and taste as you go. Well, I finally put...
Motorhome vs Trailer
Before we bought our first RV, we couldn't decide between a motorhome and a travel trailer. We did lots of research and talking with owners of both. Now that we have owned both, I would like to share with you a few pros and cons for both to help you decide what is...

Stick Art Railing
On our treehouse every other opening of the railing was done with a stick art technique that I saw online. (Inspiration picture below. Sorry, I can't seem to find where this image was originally taken from.) The other openings were done with our coastal rope railing...
French Tips
As a high school student, I did a joint program with a technology college for my junior and senior year to earn my cosmetology and nail technician licenses/degrees at the same time that I was earning my high school degree. I would attend high school for half of my...
Be Of Good Cheer
I had a very special relationship with my grandmother that lived closest to me growing up. After my grandfather passed away, I would head to my grandmother's house after dinner and spend the evenings with her playing games and watching the news. Then I would wake up...
