More than you ever knew you wanted to know about my closet

On September 18, 2020 By Em D In Uncategorized

Let’s keep this real. I LOVE a clean closet. A “makes me really happy” kind of love, but not an “I want to marry it and have it’s children kind of love.” But just because …

On August 13, 2020 By Em D In Homepage Stories, Life and Family, Where Bloggers Live

“Okay, first, you win for Best Blogger Hair! Don’t argue with me.”  Reading that in my comments section this past June was traumatic for me.  I am not programmed to graciously accept a compliment. Take …

Of Trellises and Empty(ing) Nests…

On June 12, 2020 By Em D In Life and Family, Outside Projects

One of the things I normally love about summer is the peace and quiet of being out in the yard…planting things I’ll forget to water; weeding patches that will have new weeds next week, pretending …

On March 13, 2020 By Em D In Life and Family

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.)
