Tic Tac Toe, an all-time classic game.  Simple and easy, anyone can play.

Summer time is winding down and my kids are getting a little restless.  They are excited for school to start but also don’t want to give up the lazy days of summer vacation.  The other day my daughter and I put down our cell phones and I asked her if she wanted to play tic tac toe.  To my surprise, she said yes.  Of course, we played the old fashioned way. I thought it would be fun to create a tic tac toe game we could use over and over again.

Farmhouse Style Welcome Sign

The ‘Fixer Upper’ or farmhouse style is extremely trendy right now.  I love this look and love looking at all the decor that goes along with this style.  Although I find my style just a tad bit more modern, I do find myself completely drawn to the farmhouse style or ‘old fashioned’ as my husband would say.   I’ve seen so many entry signs and I thought it would be extremely fun to create one myself.  This will go in my new entry.
