Getting Creative at Home with the Small Things

Today it's my turn ~ along with some other wonderful bloggers ~ to share how we Get Creative at Home.  While I would truly love to show entire room or house redo's like many of my fellow bloggers do, my house is up to the rafters with Legos, dinosaurs, video games and art supplies.  While I can't create a picture worthy haven {right now} I do try to get creative with the small things.

With Autumn fast approaching, I'll soon be putting out my Shabby Chic Pumpkin and my Polka Dot Pumpkin

 

The house will have the aroma of baked goods and breakfast casseroles

Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole

Oatmeal Raisin Whoopie Pies

and I'll be cleaning getting ready for the all too soon-to-be upon us Holidays

using my super easy to make 2-Ingredient Soap Scum Blaster

and scrubbing away with my make-it-yourself eco-friendly DIY scrubbing cleanser.

    Mary Beth that breakfast casserole looks amazing. We don't usually eat sweet things for breakfast here in Australia like you do over there, but I'm keen to give this yummy looking recipe a go if I can find similar ingredients.

    Like you, I like to make my own natural cleaners, so I'm pinning for future reference. 🙂

    It's great to be on the tour with you.

    1. Mary Beth says:

      Thank you, Kerryanne! We actually had this casserole for dinner when family was in town visiting. My father-in-law has a bit of a sweet tooth and he loved it.

      It's great to be on the tour with you as well ~ so nice to get to know each other a little better.

      Hugs,
      Mary Beth

    I have to tell you how much I appreciate your honesty Mary Beth. Everyone doesn't live in a home, for various reasons, that is ready for the world to view. And having a busy life and boys at home makes it more than difficult...and really not worth the stress. Thanks for sharing your favorite things here for helping to make a house a home for fall. I love the tips, the food looks deeeeeelish, and I'm swooning over your pumpkins. 🙂 [hugs] and best wishes for An Extraordinary Day!

    1. Mary Beth says:
