Moving Into My New Cottage In The Desert

May 21, 2019 By Meegan 3 Comments

Hi everyone! I have neglected to tell you about Moving Into My New “Cottage In The Desert” apartment. I have been documenting the process, and gradually sharing it on my Instagram account, but haven’t been sharing it here on my blog.

Maybe not the best picture quality, but you can see my excitement! Wow, I have so much more space! It felt like a mansion in comparison.

If you are anything like me, you love Fashion over Fifty Spring and Summer Skirts.

DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas

May 15, 2019 By Meegan 6 Comments

The temperature is warming up and I am spending most of my days poolside. You know how I love to be outside and feel the sun rays on my face. It is really nice to be in our new home. Things are coming together and I am enjoying the decorating process. I am also enjoying the fact that we have a REAL porch. We did have a tiny balcony before. I tried to turn it into an inviting space. But, my vision never really came to fruition. I had visions of what I wanted here even before we moved in. Let me share some of my DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas for our new home.

These DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas can be used on tiny porches and large decks alike.

I like this time of month because I get to be a part of the At Home DIY Challenges. We have a theme every 15th of the month and share our best DIY projects related to the theme. This month is: “Make it Pretty Outdoor Challenge”

That is EXACTLY why I am tidying up our back porch and showing you my DIY projects for this space…

I have been trying to eat better. You know, less carbs, less sugar, more fresh veggies and conscientious of what goes into my mouth. Sometimes that is hard for me. I like to eat what I want. I know, that sounds prideful. BUT, I know in the long run I do feel better and stronger when I take good care of my body and brain. My Sauteed Yellow Summer Squash with Leeks Recipe has become a “go to” for me.
