This fun Apple Teacher Hoop Art has been in my head for months. I'm so happy with how these sweet little hoops turned out.

DIY Window Box

We've been dreaming of building window boxes for years. This little area of our patio was in desperate need of attention...plus, our existing herb garden is ready to expand. So DIY window box + fresh herbs = the perfect lil' window box herb garden. We're now wanting a hundred more DIY window boxes...they're addicting.

Easy Window Boxes
We have this random window on our patio that actually goes to a store room in our garage. It's kind of a focal point...but into a weird place. I made a little cafe curtain for the window (to mask the storage factor of this room that was very visible) and then realized that maybe a bit more color and fun is what the spot needed. And why not throw a little functionality in, to boot? We've been thinking about window planter boxes in a few spots for a while, and this quickly became a no-brainer. Plus...we love fresh herbs. This is the perfect spot for a DIY Window Box Herb Garden. But, window planters would also be lovely on the front of the home, too, adding lots of charm and curb appeal. See how these flower boxes came together below with this easy DIY project.

Teacher Appreciation Week is always a fun time. Being married to a principal, I've helped him plan out a few years' worth of Teacher Appreciation Weeks...and they're always so fantastic and filled with love and admiration for our educators. He loves to do theme days during the big week, but then also just simple gifts each day, as well. These printable teacher gifts are the perfect solution to putting together LOTS of gifts (don't forget your principals, y'all...ha!).

Free Easter Bunny Printable Gift Tag

I love a sweet classic bunny design...when I added the buffalo check background to these tags, they felt so sweet and...classic. We've been trying to implement Easter Basket Tags for our kids to know which basket is theirs the past few years (after our Easter bunny mixed their baskets up in a middle-of-the-night oopsie one time!). And these Free Easter Bunny Printable Gift Tag designs sure beat a Post-It note that some bunnies may resort to (guilty!). Grab your own set of these Free Printable Easter Bunny Basket Tags below.

Pom Pom Pillow
Last week, I shared our new blue velvet slipcover we put on our IKEA sectional. I got a great deal of questions and comments regarding the pillows that are are on each end of this sectional. I made an envelope pom pom pillow for each end of the sofa to bring out that fun blue (and add a bit of whimsy with the fun pom pom trim). Check out how to make your own envelope pom pom pillow below.

Free Printable Easter Card
Goodness, Easter is so early this year, y'all. But, here in Texas, it already feels like spring, so I think we're ready for the bunny. As I'm sitting here typing this, I'm looking across our back fence at our neighbor's yard at a beautiful Eastern Red Bud tree just bursting with lovely purple and lilac blooms. I think it's part of the reason so many of my printables have purple flowers lately. And this sweet little Happy Easter Card certainly meets that criteria, too. Hoping you LOVE it! 

Blue Velvet IKEA Sectional Slipcover

This Blue Velvet IKEA Sectional Slipcover post is brought to you by Bemz Designs. All opinions are mine alone.

This gorgeous new Blue Velvet IKEA Sectional Slipcover is a work of art, y'all. I can't quit looking at it (and running my hand across the cushions!). I think it's totally transformed the look of our family room, too. Come check out this Blue Velvet IKEA Sectional Slipcover below.
 Sectional Slipcover
When we first purchased this home, we still owned our previous home and wanted to keep it partially staged for potential buyers. We had no idea how long that house would be on the market, so we decided to grab an inexpensive couch from IKEA to have something to sit on in the meantime. That couch turned into the Ektorp sectional that we fell in love with after getting it in our home and really enjoying it. And while I loved its original white slipcover I've had on it the past two years, I am just a bit more colorful! I was feeling like it was time for a change.

Colorful Printable Easter Bible Scriptures

These colorful Printable Easter Bible Scriptures are some of my favorite Bible scriptures surrounding the resurrection. The colorful letters are perfect for bright, spring decor. And their handwritten vibe is always a reader favorite. This set of six Colorful Printable Easter Bible Scriptures are a part of my Premium Printables line. Grab them below.

Bible Scripture Printables
Easter is less than a month away. I've been slowly replacing my Valentine's decor with something more colorful and springish. I started creating these Printable Easter Bible Scriptures for my own gallery wall in the living room. Then I created a few more and turned them into a set. Each one of these verses is a favorite...especially since they are surrounding the resurrection of Christ. I hope they bless you in some way.

We're in the teen zone, friends. And after the all-too-cutesy display our bunny gifted last year (ahem), we've decided to think outside the basket for some Easter Basket Ideas for Teen Boys this year. My teenager still enjoys receiving a special treat Easter morning...I figured, why not make it more him? Check out these fun and different Easter Basket Ideas for Teen Boys below.

Easter Basket for Boys
Seriously...way outside the basket! I can't wait to see the look on Ben's face when he sees this ball cap stuffed with a few of his favorite things on Easter morning. Finding good Easter Basket Ideas for Teenage Boys is a bit of a challenge...but definitely fun! And our bunny will hopefully get a few cool points this year.
