Good Deal Day: Free Clothes, Free Shoes and More!

⋅ 1 Comment

I’m starting a new thing around here. This site started as a deal site and after a few years of that, I decided to ditch the deals and start posting more about life and homemaking and whatnot. But sometimes I see these really great deals and thing, “Gosh, it’s a good deal day!” And then I’m a little sad that I’m not sharing it with y’all anymore.

So, this is the first ever Good Deal Day post! I’ll be posting a round-up each day (assuming it’s a good deal day) and sending it your way. Cause I can’t just keep all this goodness to myself! Without further ado…

Right now you can get all of this Baby Einstein goodness for only $5.95 SHIPPED – 3 Board Books, 1 Plush Book and a set of Discovery Cards with attachable ring! And there is no commitment to receiving products, just call and cancel when you receive this first order!! *THINK BABY SHOWER GIFT!!*

Chunky Frame + Chalkboard Paper = Adorable Kitchen Art!

⋅ Leave a Comment

Okay, I am itching to share a DIY project over here! What better way to roll out a fresh new blog than with a bit of spray paint and hot glue!

So, I looked around for a project to share with y’all (since I’m uber lazy today and didn’t feel like tackling something new). I decided to share my first use of chalkboard contact paper! I apologize in advance for the lack of photos of the process, but it’s fairly self explanatory.

I found this adorable chunky plastic yellow frame at the thrift store for $2! TWO DOLLARS PEOPLE!! Which is why I have such a love affair with thrift stores! And an alleged hoarding problem, which I will neither confirm or deny.

Where Were We?

⋅ Leave a Comment

I’m trying to figure out where to start based on where I left off before the Great Crash of 2013. So, here’s the rundown:

  • We are moving soon – as in  6 weeks soon! – as in across the country – as in 2,000 miles!
  • I am a mega-procrastinator
  • Not only has no packing and/or moving prep commenced, but…
  • This place is a MESS – as in Hoarders – as in…

Moving Forward with a Clean Slate

⋅ 4 Comments

As you can see my site of three years is empty. Totally blank. I switched to a different server recently and in the process lost all of my content! All 1,000 plus posts of it!

At first I panicked. Then I yelled via caps lock at tech support people. And then I laid in fetal position rocking back and forth for a couple hours. Then I started thinking about how my family is starting over soon – a new state, a new place, a new life. And it seemed fitting that this site start over along with us!

So, here I am, three years after starting my journey as a working blogger. I have a little more knowledge, a lot more experience and a clean slate! After all, I did tell the universe that I wanted to totally redo this site! Be careful what you ask for! :)

That having been said, welcome to the new and improved (and empty, but bear with me on that) Homemaking Expert! Oh, and I’m kidding about the fetal position thing…maybe.

Oh, NO! It’s GONE!

Sorry, y’all! When I lost all of my content, I also lost this post. AND I no longer have the jpeg to upload! :( I plan to recreate it soon, and I’m sorry for the wasted trip.

But look around, maybe there is something else that interests you! :)
