About Me

Rural, GA, United States
I'm an army wife, working mom of 2 kids.! My husband Tim is a Soldier In the army. I work for MWR for the Community Recreation Division as an admin assistant...I absolutely LOVE my job I couldn't have found anything better! My daughter, Kennedie, was born in January of 04 and our son, Cale, was born June of 09. Kennedie is VERY involved in dancing, she is in her 11th season (2019-2020) of being a competitive dancer. It's exhausting but we LOVE it. Cale is starting to REALLY get into sports. He is on a year round wrestling team, and he plays baseball in the spring! This blog started out as a recipe sharing venture but now it's going to turn into a more "granola" way to live. Cheap recipes more homemade recipes and re-purposing things. I'm a crafter at heart so I'm going to throw some of that in there too! On Valentines Day of 2017 we bought our first Travel Trailer. I'll be documenting our travels also on this blog!

I heart the dollar tree

The organizing just never stops here and I LOVE coming up with new ideas for how to get my things organized and easy to get at!  My newest project was above my stove.  At my Georgia home things we didn't need to get at often went over the stove.  But at this house...it couldn't be any other way.  So my spice "cabinet" had to get put there!  In our old home it was in a cabinet that was pretty much at eye level and my most used things were always in the front.  It's not so much eye level anymore.  Here is the before - it literally came out of a box and SHOVED up there so we could get the box out of the house!

I found these jem's at Dollar Tree for you guessed it!  A DOLLAR!  Blue isn't the color of our kitchen so I sprayed them with a marron plastic fusion paint (which I happened to have on hand!)


 It's too hot in texas for them to dry properly so I had to bring them inside when they were done!  I put a peice of parchement paper in the bottom of each one just so they wouldn't stick or if anything spilled it would clean up easily!
 AREN'T THEY SO CUTE!  and look how much that cleaned up that cabinet - now it's all organized in "sprinkles" "baking" "seasoning" and I can simply pull down one at a time and all the corresponding things will come down with it!
