Easy Outdoor Projects
Every year at this time…it’s the same thing.
A precious bird builds her nest on our column on the front porch.
Right above my rocking chair.
And every year I don’t have the heart to remove her nest.
I just let her build away and hatch her babies right there beside my front door.
It makes my rocking chair a very dangerous place to sit for a few weeks…
…but I’m ok with that.

Floral Monogram
We Southern ladies love our monograms.
Our mama’s are monogramming our sheets and hair bows from the day we’re born.
It’s just a Southern thing!
So when some of my fellow Southern bloggers decided to start getting together once a month for a series…
…{the “Oh My Word Would You Look At That!” series}…
…well it was just natural for us to start with MONOGRAMS!
So I’ll start with this monogram project,
but don’t forget to check out the 4 more that are listed at the end of this post!
Craft Room Tour
When I was a little girl…
…and I wanted to have a friend over to play…
…the rule was always the same.
I had to clean my room first!
It was a really sneaky way that my Mom had for making me clean my room quickly without complaining.
I’d run up the stairs and have the place spotless in no time.
Even to this day, sometimes I invite people over just to make myself clean my house!
So when Angie from The Country Chic Cottage asked me to be a part of her craft room series…
…I kind of felt like my Mom had just told me that I could have a friend over…
…but I’d have to clean my room first! 
Easter Table Ideas for Kids
I remember hunting eggs when I was a kid.
We hunted the good old fashioned hard boiled eggs.
No plastic candy filled eggs for us.
We’d hide them and hunt them until they were rotten.
And there were always a few that we could never find…
…until several days later…
…when we would be retrieving a ball from the monkey grass and the smell would knock us over.
Or my Dad would hit it with the lawn mower…that never went over well.
Ahhh…the memories!
Metallic Egg Wreath
I want to meet the person who invented the glue gun…
…and I want to give them a hug.
A Great Big Thank You hug!
I think they’re a genius.
A crafting genius.
And thanks to the glue gun inventor…
…this wreath was ready in no time.
