Hi, I'm Megan!

I am a military spouse, mom to 3 young boys, and a constant creator. Thanks to my husband’s career, we have moved 10 times in the last 19 years, and I’ve made it my personal mission to decorate, organize, and re-imagine each rental space until it feels like home.

I love navy blue, a good peel-and-stick wallpaper, my Cricut machine, and really hot coffee; and I genuinely believe that…

…any space can be transformed into a place that feels like home!

When you’re moving, it’s fairly obvious what to do with your picture frames, dishes, clothes, etc.

But what about your real, live plants?🪴🌿🍃

While you CAN move plants...the time, cost, and effort required will vary dramatically based on how far you’re moving, where to, and how long you’ll be between homes. 

After 10+ moves, I’ve seen all sorts of approaches to moving with plants, so I put together a practical guide to if, when, and how to do it successfully!

There is just something about the warmer weather and brighter sunshine that makes me crave a lighter house! Which means...it's YARD SALE time! 🙌

If you too are gearing up to hold a yard sale this spring, be sure stop by the blog to see my tried-and-true process for conducting a sale that gets rid of your stuff AND makes good money too!

For YEARS, I avoided peel and stick tile in our rental homes, out of fear that we wouldn't be able to remove it damage-free.

I finally gave it a try (with a renter-friendly twist!) but still wasn't 100% sure it would come down cleanly.

Over on the blog today, I'm (finally!) revealing the removal process of this peel and stick subway tile and sharing if I'll ever try this kind of upgrade in our rentals again!

More than any other project we attempted in our NC rental, everyone was MOST eager to know if our peel and stick subway tile backsplash REALLY came down without damaging the walls. 🧐

Well, I've (finally!) recovered from the trauma of the removal (kidding...sorta) to break down the removal process in detail. 😆

Over on the blog today, I'm answering: did it work, was there damage, and would I ever do it again?

Every time we move, we always have a stack of paint cans to get rid of. And it’s usually an ordeal to find places to safely and legally drop them. 🙄

But on our most recent move, we discovered a trick that allowed us to (safely) toss paint cans right into our usual trash, and it was a serious time saver! 🙌

Do you have some paint cans you need to get rid of? Here's how! https://thehomesihavemade.com/how-to-dispose-of-paint/

One of my most-popular labeling sets just got a refresh! 🙌 Now featuring 45 unique labels in 13 different colors, it's now easier than every to label every item in your linen closet, mudroom, laundry room, etc!

Stop by the blog to check out this new labeling template!
