Ever wondered how to grill filet mignon to perfection? Well you're in luck, today's the day... and just in time for the kick off of grilling season! This post is sponsored by the Ohio Beef Council. As always, all opinions shared are my own. Grilled steaks are one of the things I look most forward to when grilling season arrives, but for many people (formerly myself included!) grilling steaks (especially grilling filet mignon) can be intimidating. Getting them to the perfect temperature, getting a great sear and getting the perfect flavor can be just a few elements that leave steak-lovers hesitant to fire up the grill. Especially when spending money on a nice quality cut like a Continue Reading
Laundry Room Update with Peel and Stick Tile Backsplash
This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. When looking for ideas on how to transform my small laundry room, I couldn’t help but be amused by the range of sizes that can be perceived as “small”. In comparison we’ll call my laundry room “mini”. It’s just wide enough to fit the washer and dryer. So yeah, it’s a mini.

That's a blogger's calendar! My summer decor doesn't really feel complete because I don't have a wreath on the door yet. I've been on the hunt for a new way to jazz up my all seasons wreath and I was so inspired by all of the amazing summer wreaths I Continue Reading
DIY Metallic Rope Throw Basket Tutorial
Would you believe this rope throw basket started out as a dollar store laundry basket? Add some rope, paint, fabric and a glue gun and you can make this stylish rope basket in less than an hour! I created my Metallic Rope Throw Basket in partnership with DecoArt. As always, all opinions and ideas are 100% my own. Reason #642 that I love fall is cuddling up in cozy throw blankets. We really love throw blankets around here. So much so that if you walked into our living room, you might think that there was a herd of kids hiding somewhere underneath what would appear to be a collapsed fort of throw blankets on the couch. Nope, no kids under there... it's just a menagerie of throws. I try Continue Reading
