Bedroom Makeover



When we first decided to redecorate our bedroom, I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do or where to even begin. I had looked at so many different ideas on Pinterest. I saw a pin on Pinterest that I fell in love with. I just knew that I wanted to do something similar to that.  It was wooden letters over the bed with a & sign. Trying to decide what colors to do was a whole another ball game. I thought I had my mind set on a coral and gray color but that quickly changed after I went shopping and couldn't find anything I like in those colors. We had made a trip to Bed, Bath, & Beyond and looked at some comforter sets. My husband was actually was the one who picked out our comforter set.  I absolutely love it.



I love looking for deals and doing DIY projects. I got almost everything at Michaels.




I love how the heart looked without paint but I decided to paint it so it wouldn't clash with my walls. I used the Americana Multisurface Satin Paint in waterfront and pewter. I had black picture frames, I painted those in pewter as well.




My favorite item I brought was my sign "What I love most about my home is the family I share it with". The best thing about it was I got it 60% off.  I only paid twelve dollars for it. I love discounts!





I also added some of my son's artwork to complete our bedroom. Even though the cute red fish does not match at all.  I had to have it because it's one my favorites.



The next on my list is to change our light. I'm not a fan of the gold.

Chicken Puffs

Chicken Puffs 



Ingredients

  • Large can of white chunk chicken (I buy Tyson and it's a 12.5oz can) (drained)
  • 8 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese block
  • 1/2 Ranch seasoning dip packet 
  • Crescent Rolls 


Instructions 

Preheat oven to 375. I will set the cream cheese out five to ten minutes before I start so that it will soften up some. Take your chicken, cream cheese, and 1/2 of the ranch seasoning dip and mix all of that together.  The crescent rolls come eight to a pack. Take each triangle and cut it into thirds. Now you will have twenty-four little triangles.




Take each little triangle and spread out just a little bit and then put the mixture into the triangle and wrap the crescent roll around your cream cheese mixture. They don't have to be perfect either. That's the best thing about it.  Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until golden brown. 


Enjoy!! :)

Pepperoni Puffs

Pepperoni Puffs


These are super easy to make and they are so good. I usually get asked to make these at my work parties. The ladies at work love them. They are a great appetizers for any event. I've made these for birthday parties, and recently I made them for our football fantasy draft party. Thanks to my sister who gave me this recipe several years ago. 




Ingredients

  • 6 oz bag of pepperoni's ( I usually buy Hormel)
  • 8 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese block
  • 1/2 Ranch seasoning dip packet 
  • Crescent Rolls 


Instructions 

Preheat oven to 375. I will set the cream cheese out five to ten minutes before I start so that it will soften up some. Use cutting scissors and cut the pepperoni's into smaller pieces. After that take your pepperoni's, cream cheese, and 1/2 of the ranch seasoning dip and mix all of that together.  The crescent rolls come eight to a pack. Take each triangle and cut it into thirds. Now you will have twenty-four little triangles. 



Take each little triangle and spread out just a little bit and then put the mixture into the triangle and wrap the crescent roll around your cream cheese mixture. They don't have to be perfect either. That's the best thing about it.  Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until golden brown. 

Check out my other recipe that's almost just like this: Chicken Puffs.

About me...


Hello, My name is Heather. What I love most about my home is the family I share it with. I'm happily married to my best friend, Jason. I am a Mom to a smart young man, Corey.  These two always know how to make me laugh and smile. Our life is far from perfect but I feel blessed because I have them by my side. 



We adopted a fur-baby back on New Years Eve in 2014. His name is Jax and we call him our little raptor. He definitely keeps us on our toes. He is such a smart dog and we were so happy to adopt him and make him apart of our family


I love decorating and doing DIY projects. I can't wait to share my projects and some recipes with you all. Thanks for checking out my blog. :)
