Hi there!  Thanks for dropping by my little place on the web!  (These pictures REALLLLLLY need updating!! LOL) 

I’m Sam.  I’m a 30-something, Child Development Bachelor’s Degree holder, and you can probably catch me sniffing essential oils, listening to a true crime podcast or doodling on my iPad  I’m a wife, mother, oil slinger and lover of all things artistic and creative!

I love everything DIY and crafting.  I’m a strong believer that everything can be made beautiful with a little love and vision (& not a whole lot of money).  Just see what we did with our outdated kitchen for $300!  I never want anything in my house to be too perfect, because, well, where’s the fun in that?   My house is a mixture of rustic, farmhouse, lake house; all with a touch of modern.  I love old stuff and new stuff that looks old. And Ikea.  Check out the most current house tour here!

My family is my main priority around here and I love that I am able to stay at home with my kiddos!  There are definitely days where running a household and raising young kids can get you down, but I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂

Oh.  We are big Ohio State fans, if you didn’t know!

I use way too many exclamation points and smiley faces when I type, stick around, you’ll see.  It kind of makes my husband crazy.  Speaking of husbands, that’s mine right there.  He’s my biggest fan and motivator.  He listens while I babble about what projects I want to do next and keeps me grounded when I get a little too zealous.  I’d be lost without him (& my computer would probably be broken).

We met and fell in love in high school while I worked for his parent’s at their ice cream shop. Over ten years later, we’ve been married for almost 7 years and have two amazing little boys and a beautiful baby girl.

Alex is 7.  He’s rambunctious, cuddly, smart, fast, and loves to explore everything.  He asks a lot of questions and loves all things dinosaur/reptile/creepy crawlies.  He loves school, Pokemon (much to my dismay!), animals, and sports.  

Christian is 5!  He’s got red hair and the attitude to go with it.  He’s sweet, shy, smiley and mischievous.  He loves trains, trains and trains.  His favorite movie is The Polar Express, all year ’round.  He gives us a run for our money!

Madi is 3.  She is such a joy and always smiling!  She absolutely adores her big brothers and they are equally as smitten with her.  She is coming into her own and showing us her true colors.  We are so thankful she’s ours!!

Oh, and we can’t forget these little mutts of ours!  Luna (the white dog) and River (or “tiny dog” as she’s known around here) are our two pups!  River is a little wild and crazy but I love her a lot <3 and Luna is probably the greatest dog that ever existed on this plant.

Thank you so much for dropping by!  I am so thankful for all of you readers!  You are the reason I keep coming back to write about my successes, failures and crazy ideas.  Thank you, thank you, thank you! =]
