Outdoor Holiday Decoration

I got this beautiful chair few years ago, and haven’t used it that much during these years; but, the moment I started using it, forContinueContinue reading “DIY Chair Slipcover”

St. Patrick’s Day Starburst
Sometimes I wonder if non-Irish and/or non-Christians have any business celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Well let’s be honest, like St. Valentine’s Day and, arguably, Easter and Christmas, we’ve secularized and commercialized what is really a sacred Christian feast day. However, I don’t actually think we’ve “ruined” the holiday. When people celebrate the secular side ofContinueContinue reading “St. Patrick’s Day Starburst”
