Boy, oh boy, oh boy! Remember that last DIY Maxi Dress I posted about? Yeah, it blew up on Pinterest!! Over 12,000 pins and counting! Gah! That's a bloggers, for lack of a better word, crack. It's addicting to have your projects pinned, and re-pinned, and featured over and over. It makes you want to come up with even better posts and just reaffirms you must be doing something right!

Strawberry Lemon Coffee Cakes

2013-04-30T20:58:00.000-05:00

Looking at Pinterest while you're hungry is the equivalent to going grocery shopping while you're hungry...you end up pinning a million recipes that are definitely not good for your waistline! Fortunately, these little delights aren't too terrible for you! At about 125 calories each I'm sure you can afford to have one or two for breakfast! Coffee Cakes: 2 cups cake flour 3/4 cup sugar 2

DIY Stenciled Dog Bed

I love Cutting Edge Stencils. Love them. This happens to be my third DIY using one of their stencils. I've also done a simple canvas painting for my master bedroom and a very detailed gender neutral nursery accent wall. After completing my nursery accent wall, Cutting Edge Stencils asked if I would do another project from them. Duh, of course I will! I decided to tackle a project that

DIY T-Shirt Dress

I've been overcome with the sewing bug, and I love it! A few weekends ago, I introduced you to my very first sewing project, a DIY Maxi Dress, which I think was a smash hit! I can't wait to wear it when it finally warms up here in Texas. I had so much fun making it that I wanted to make another t-shirt dress to share with you!

DIY Rustic Wine Rack

2013-02-19T21:08:00.000-06:00

How awesome is that wine rack? My Hubby built it for me! I think my craftiness has rubbed off on him. He's definitely more crafty / handy with the tools than when I first started dating him. I guess he's learned a thing or two from me over these past few years, *brushes off shoulder* hehe! Well, inspiration struck the Kurtz household this past weekend and, boy did we both hit it out of

Didn't you just love Valentine's Day in grade school? I know I sure did! I loved going to the store with my mom to pick out the boxed Valentines cards.

HANAair Professional Hair Dryer {Product Review}

My hair can be a nightmare sometimes. If you feel the same, keep reading! My hair is an anomaly. I'm a natural blonde, but I dye my hair black. I have naturally curly/wavy hair, but I love straightening it. I like my bangs on the left, they like to go to the right. No wonder it likes to gives me hell! My hair is pretty long, as you'll see in the pictures below, so most mornings when I
