I get asked all the time how I cook my okra. Remember that okra I planted a few months ago in our garden? Man it has really taken off. And because of that we eat okra at least twice a week, sometimes 3. :) If you follow me on Instagram (@decorchick1) you’ve seen an okra picture probably more times than you care to. But, everyone always asks how I make it, and one of my favorites is roasted okra with Rosemary. Mmmm!
Well yesterday I was on a roll doing a few projects, cleaning the garage, taking care of the garden etc, and then I also got a wild hair and tried painting stripes on a wall. I’ve been wanting to do them for a while and nothing like family coming into town to get your rear in gear. And in my case practically redoing 3 rooms in 1 week. Not really. But sort of.
Anyway…my striping attempt numero uno was a fail.
Hi all hope you had a lovely weekend! Mine was very productive so that’s always a good feeling. You know I’m all about a little DIY right? DIY or DIH, meaning, do it herself. I went to a DIH workshop a few weeks ago at The Home Depot and wanted to tell you all about it. I love how they empower the ladies to take on those pesky DIY projects. :)
Hi all! I have something fantastic to share today. I’m sure you already know that from the title of this post but whatever. :) I wanted to show you all a few laundry room updates I made recently, and then at the end of this post you can enter to win a $500 gift card to Home Depot! Wow, that will buy a lot of goodies. First things first. Here is our laundry room now with a few changes I made to help it be more efficient.
Since being back from the Haven Conference and reminiscing while looking at the photos from it, I can’t help but wonder why in several of the pictures I’m flashing gang signs and making my best duck face?
Hey guys! I needed another mental break day after getting back from the Haven conference and I can’t wait to show you all a few pics from it. But today, I want to show you the world’s easiest chalkboard. Like ever in the history of DIY. Why? Because it’s just chalkboard vinyl!

Hey everyone! I’ve been busy this week getting ready to head out to Atlanta, but this is a post I’ve been meaning to write for a few months now. Remember when I finally shed all of my baby weight (all 75 pounds of it!), several of you would ask me what I ate etc, and I posted a few of my food diaries in those posts too so you could see what I ate on a day to day basis. Now that it’s past me and the weight is off, I’ve still managed to keep it all off, and have even lost about 7-10 lbs more since that post. Woohoo! But since this isn’t a perfect world and there are going to be times when you are out and about and you need to grab a bite to eat, or if you just want to go to a nice dinner with your family or something, I wanted to tell you what my 7 favorite places to eat out are, and are places where you have the option to eat well and have it taste good! Even better.
Hi everyone hope you all had a great weekend. Today I’m going to give you a recap of my shopping trip last week, and also fill you in on a little ghost story about one of the antique stores we went to. Because everyone’s Monday morning should start out with a good ghost story right?
Happy Friday friends! It’s been a crazy summer full of birthdays and we just finished up Emma’s 4th birthday party last weekend. She is really into Sofia the First right now (a new princess) so she wanted a Sofia party. I was worried about topping last years party because Ms. Foofa herself came to her Gabba party, but I didn’t want to pay for a character again this year. So, I was hoping by getting Emma the princess Sofia dress would suffice, and it did. Whew!
For the party, we used a lot of purples, golds, and white and I thought it came out really pretty.
Hey all! I wanted to ask quickly how many of you will be in Atlanta next week at the Haven conference?
Why didn’t I do this sooner y’all??! Last week when I posted about some inspiration doors I really had a hard time deciding which route to go for our pantry door, but you all did help me with my decision. And in the end I went with….
I know you all just don’t have enough resources for places to shop when it comes to your home (said in my sarcastic voice), so I’m here today to share with you all another great online store for home accessories, DecoraUSA.
