A COLLECTION OF THINGS FROM HOME
The Fourth of July really snuck up on me this year! It feels like just yesterday I was spring cleaning and planting my garden and now here we are at Independence Day already. Amidst the busyness of life I’ve found myself unprepared for our 4th of July party with family […]
I have a thing for headbands. They can turn a bad hair day into super cute in less than five minutes, and that’s always a win in my book. It doesn’t hurt that they usually come in fun prints, and are made in mini-me size! The first thing I ever […]

Hand-lettering adds a personal touch to things, whether it be a sign for your home or doodles in your notebook. It is a skill, though, and like any skill, it takes some practice to get just right. Thankfully, there are talented people out there like our friend Liz who is willing to […]

I can remember redecorating my room and rearranging the furniture at least twice a year as a kid. Obviously, I started early in the home decorating world. I even managed to convince my parents to let me paint my room a couple of times (yes… a couple. Not just once). […]

I was scouring Pinterest for THE Father’s day craft to do with the kids and share with you here and I just couldn’t find one that I loved enough. There were lots of cute ones, don’t get me wrong! But when you are a mom of two little ones […]
Why is it so hard to make a great tasting protein shake yourself? Sure, I can pack up my daughter first thing in the morning and head out to a local shop where I have to then get her out of the car, go inside, wait in line, order, get my […]

One of the best things about warm summer days is getting outside! The more time we spend outside, the more fun we have, the less screen time we have and the longer my kiddos nap. All good things ;-). This DIY sidewalk chalk paint is an easy, simple way to spend some fun […]
Summertime. There is just something peaceful about it. Sun. Sprinklers. The pool. Cookouts. Vacation. Don’t those things just inspire joy? Now for some of us, vacation is slightly less relaxing than it used to be thanks to having a toddler or two in tow, but somehow having your kids with […]

Guacamole is one of those things either you love or you hate. My dad can’t stand the stuff. On the other hand, I could probably eat guacamole every day and not get tired of it. {Okay, maybe that’s an overstatement.} I passed that on to my daughter, too, apparently because […]

Don’t let power tools intimidate you. Once you start to use them, they get really addicting really fast. My first build was a few years ago: a simple cupcake stand for my sister-in-law’s bridal shower. I’ve been hooked ever since. Y’all, I had no idea what I was doing when […]

My toddler started out eating everything, just like her 8 month old baby brother does now. Somewhere along the line she started getting more and more picky and preferring sweets and junk. Once in a while those things are ok, but especially for the first meal of the day, it […]
Who couldn’t use an extra tote bag? We are pretty much always in need of extra totes for groceries, diapers, travel bags, et cetera. When we started Salt & Life Blog, we knew we wanted to offer totes for a couple of reasons including giveaways and, of course, so we’d […]

Pallets are all the rage, am I right? It seems like every other Pinterest tutorial I see uses reclaimed wood to create something beautiful and rustic. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. I guess I’m just officially joining the ranks of reclaimed wood upcyclers everywhere by writing this post. So, […]

I’ll never forget the first time I realized that caffeine, in the form of coffee, was in fact addictive. It was Tom Hanks in You’ve Got Mail telling his business partner they would sell “legal addictive stimulants” in their massive book store. Now, I was 14 years old, so cut me […]
