I’m a teacher at an amazing school that is called a University Model School. It’s the best of both worlds for more than one reason. It is Christian based and we are allowed to teach these children educational information and teach from the bible. It is also based on the parents being co-teachers. What that means is the second reason it’s so great. Our kids are in school Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Tuesday, Thursday home schooled by the co-teaching parent. ...

Instead of just going to the regular stores and buying a shirt, sweat shirt or electronics I wanna really give them something special. I’m shopping at...

I often troll the online garage sales for cheap items to redo. Sometimes I’m lucky and sometimes not so much. I’ve been trying to find a telephone table like from the 50″s. They are the cutest things and have so much potential to be recycled into something more usable today. On our way back from Waco and weekend travels I came across just such telephone table for next to nothing. The lady had already refurbished it by painting it teal...

Meet LaTonya

I am a creative with a vintage soul and a happy heart. Just as I set out with a new purpose to restore my life 5 years ago, I try to find the beauty in beaten up and forgotten pieces for the home.
