Day 3 of the 31 day event hosted by The Nester. I’ve dedicated my 31 days to “positive change”. Now this change can be monumental, or it can be simple. Just positive change. Like today for instance.

Yup, it’s officially fall. I just love everything fall; cool, crisp air, falling leaves, brightly colored mums, hot cider, apple picking, corn mazes, hayrides and of course boots and sweaters.

I had this table I bought as part of a Bistro set several years ago. It was a pretty set when I first purchased it from Stop & Shop of all places, but after a few seasons, the set started to look dingy. Since I had leftover outdoor paint from my bench project, I decided… read more »
This is definitely an inside joke. The Lazy Shelly thing. I know it’s typically referred to as a Lazy Susan, however my husband has had more than one girlfriend named Susan, so I tend to change names to Lazy Shelly, Black Eyed Shelly’s, etc. You get my point. And it’s all in fun and we… read more »
