Have you ever bought a rug without a rug pad?
It's awful...your rug ends up sliding, bunching and shifting. I can't tell you how many sliding accidents we've had on sliding rugs over a slippery wood floor.

One of the reasons it takes me SO LONG to pull a room together is I don't have an unlimited budget. I guess could be tempted to spend my boys college fund but then I remember I'm a grown up and have to be responsible.

The reality is I have to collect and DIY things over time. One
Etched plates.

I love giving gifts (getting gifts ain't too shabby either). Who would balk at getting a dozen cookies on a paper plate? No one. But talk about stepping up your cookie game when you give a treat on a personalized plate where both the
DIY personalized etched glass
Every year I tell myself I'm going to have my Christmas shopping at least 3 weeks prior to the holiday but it never happens. Retailers already have their holiday decor out which is a tad early in my opinion but a good reminder for me to get a jump start on thinking about gifting.
