My *Asterisk* Life

  • Cape May and Fairy Gardens

    I’m kind of sad that summer is unofficial lye over, but I can’t complain. I’ve spent the last few weekends of summer happily. A few weeks ago, Matt and I decided to go on a mini road trip down memory lane to our old Stockton stomping grounds. Normally our trips to our old college town…

  • Backyard Camping

    It’s been a crazy August in our house. I’ve been wanting to start the baby room, but right now it’s still a storage space. We have to water proof the basement first so our things don’t get ruined. It’s been feeling a bit cluttered, but not cluttered enough to cancel our backyard camping with my…

  • Gardening Wreath

    I’ve been behind posting my wreaths, but here is my gardening wreath I made to hang before and after my flag wreath. So cute! The base of the wreath is a 10ft. leader hose in a wire wreath. You also need twine, gardening gloves, flowers of your choice, and a toy gardening kit. Use twine…

  • Don’t Stay Home

    Last week was our 4th wedding anniversary. We celebrated with a weekend of awesomeness and were barely home at all.  We had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants on our anniversary, and spent the rest of the night in, relaxing. Matt played in a hockey tournament that Saturday while my nieces and I were…

  • Toadstool Planter and Lilu’s Big Announcement

    Toadstools are adorable. Last summer I made these ceramic toadstool houses and a toadstool bird feeder.  To bring the toadstools outside, I made toadstool flower pots. They are really easy and cheap to make. I used inexpensive plastic planters and painted them red. Then I used white caulk to make the spots on the planter.…

  • Easy Flag Crafts

    It’s been a little over a year since I started my blog, and I feel accomplished  having a second post about the 4th of July. Between Flag Day and Independence Day, I keep the patriotic decor up in my house from the middle of June to a little into July. Last year I made a…

  • Pot Tower

    So you’ve probably seen these adorable pot stacks on Pinterest. I made them last year for the front of the house. This year, I put them on the side, against our fence.   I think like them better there because the honeysuckles on the fence make them look even more whimsical. I didn’t use a…

  • Matt’s Surprise Party: I pulled it off!

    I did it! I am absolutely in the running for Wife of the Year! I pulled of the surprise graduation party for Matt! He never saw it coming; I must be sneakier than I thought. Matt insisted he didn’t want a party or anything special for his graduation, but earning his doctorate is such a…

  • Pot Wreath

    Ok,  it’s been over a month since I made it, but I thought I should put my May wreath up. If you haven’t seen the wreath on Pinterest yet, prepare yourself for something pretty.   My friends Caroline and Sarah came over for a Pinterest party, and we decided to make these wreaths.  We found…

  • Matt’s Graduation

    OOoohh my goodness! Life has been wonderfully exciting lately. For the first time since I was a kid, I got to go to a MLB game. We were able to enjoy box seats at the Phillies vs Reds game. It was a blast! It was also nice to watch teams I’m pretty neutral about. (I’m…
