Our Mission

We are three sisters who want to share how we "live within our means" but live well! We will show you how (with a little elbow grease) you can make any found object into a treasure, cook an inexpensive meal, or bring you inspiration to enrich your life. We grew up in a large family (8 kids) with a mother who was very crafty and creative! Though our lives (aka husbands) have taken us to live in separate states, we still enjoy sharing what we are up to with each other. Now we want to share with you! We hope you enjoy our blog and we also hope it will bring you inspiration and happiness!

Step up...

In August of 2012, I took a big financial risk and quit my full time job to be a stay at home mom. One of the best decisions of my life! My husband was still in school and working part time. Our budget was tight. So I decided to try to help ease the burden. I had a few pieces of furniture around the house that I had intended on re-finishing for my own home. At that moment, I decided I would instead re-finish them and sell them. I never realized how much I would enjoy it! I took the money from the sells to buy more furniture and supplies. It doesn't produce a lot of extra income, but enough for those extra diapers the budget didn't cover or a nice night out with my husband. But, the best part of it all is seeing the excitement on my buyer's face!
Most challenging project but I loved the results!
I used rope for the handles to save. I made a $75 profit!
