I started this blog because I wanted the freedom to delve into different ways we can simplify our lives.

I’m into a little bit of everything but one of the things I enjoy the most is crafts and/or DIY projects. This will be a place to share and exchange instructions, information and ideas on things like crafts, painting, candle making, jewelry making and more.

Creating things is therapeutic, brings peace, satisfaction and can save you money. While I’m into frugal and simple living that doesn’t mean I want to live like a monk and go without everything. When your focus is not about obtaining material possessions, it does enable you to become more self-sufficient and have time with family and friends.

I hang out at thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets, reusing and recycling as much as possible. It’s a lot of fun because you never know what sort of unique treasure you will find or create.

We’ll also be exploring recipes for food, cleaners and natural remedies. I am a baking freak so make a lot of muffins, cookies, breads etc. We have a small vegetable garden in the city and I love cooking with the fresh produce and herbs that we grow. My husband and four children gobble it up as fast as I can make it but it’s no fun cooking for one anyway. They have all landed in here so off to make Sheppard’s pie for now.
