Welcome, fellow kids!

Hi! I’m Em.

Let’s hang out while I DIY (and occasionally procrastinate) my way through home decor, gardening, and home improvement projects… or share a few thoughts on the topic du jour.

The nest is empty, but I live with Mr. D & D and two-and-a-half spoiled dogs in a house filled with visiting kiddos, lots of love, occasional bickering, and a little bit of...dust and dog hair.

KNOCK KNOCK

WHO'S THERE?

Me. Occasionally.

(With a story, a DIY project, or deets on the current shiny penny that has my attention.)
