My Experience with WEN Hair Care

My Experience with WEN Hair Care

I’ve been using WEN cleansing conditioner for quite a long time now. It’s not for everyone, but I’ll share both the good and the bad for you to decide and some tips for use I’ve learned along the way. First, I’ll start out by saying I’m not affiliated with WEN hair care in any way.

My Friday Five – Just One of Those Weeks

My Friday Five – Just One of Those Weeks

Am I the only one not quite in the swing of things after the holidays? This week has been a long one, and I’m so happy it’s Friday! 1. One Hot Mess – For some reason during the week our counter and kitchen table become the epicenter of chaos. Craft supplies, games, school papers, mail,

This DIY Angel Wing Bracelet is a sweet little addition to any angel lover’s jewelry wardrobe. It also makes a great gift for a friend who may need a reminder that someone is looking out for her. It’s been a while since I’ve shared a bracelet tutorial. I tend to wear a few less bracelets

A Year of Being Grateful

I have a friend who chooses a “focus word” at each start of the new year. Two years ago, I joined her and chose the word CREATE. That was the year I started Sometimes Homemade. Last year I didn’t pick a word for the new year, but my word seemed to choose me: GRATEFUL. I

Well, here we are. Today is the 2 year blogiversary of Sometimes Homemade. Like anything to do with time, in some cases it seems longer and in some cases it’s flown by! I did a few less home improvement projects and a few more crafts this year, not on purpose just based on what was
