    Simplifying Christmas

    ByMary Crozier November 30, 2019November 30, 2019

    I don’t know about you, but I am STILL cleaning up after Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful day, especially with the weather being moody and overcast. If you are looking for a cocktail (or can be made without alcohol) for Christmas, this one is certainly the right color! I am not a fan of anything…

    Bedroom Remodel Reveal

    ByMary Crozier November 23, 2019April 16, 2022

    My son’s bedroom re-do has taken longer than I would have liked. Am I completely finished? No, but I am close. There are window treatments to complete and of course, sorting through years of his belongings. I want to accomplish that with him, because I would probably keep all the grammar and high school projects…

    The “Not So Simple” Pillow Shams

    ByMary Crozier November 6, 2019November 6, 2019

    In a previous post, I discussed re-doing my son’s bedroom. I finally got the fabric and it didn’t disappoint. There was the typical anxiety in making my own pillow shams~~what if I cut the material wrong? What if they come out wonky? What if I ruin this expensive fabric? But nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?…

    Autumn Entertaining

    ByMary Crozier October 16, 2019October 16, 2019

    Autumn in Phoenix is a time to reconnect. Everyone scatters to their cooler locations during our hot summers, but when the temperatures begin to fall, the sidewalks roll out and the town becomes lively again. We had missed seeing many of our friends the last few months and decided to have a gathering to celebrate…
