creative crafting and design.
One of my favorite crafts I made for my niece’s Pink Safari Party had to have been these printed paper bags. Since we were doing a popcorn bar, I figured it would be best to use bags as opposed to plates to help keep the mess down. But, really, how boring are plain paper bags? [...]
This book holder has been a LONG time coming and I’m so relieved to be able to share it with you! 44 weeks ago I pinned this image from Penny Carnival. I’ve had everything I needed to make one of these for at least a good 3 months now. When I finally got myself around [...]
Recently, little man has been displaying signs that he’s ready to potty train. According to most, he’s still a little young {for a boy} to potty train – and I know that the earlier you push for it the more difficult of a process it can be. I had been putting off officially potty training [...]
Today I’m sharing a super quick and easy project with you. For some time now I’ve been trying to come up with a simple centerpiece idea that can easily switch between my dining table and kitchen island. Most of the time our kitchen table is too full of clutter to have anything pretty on it, [...]
I am super stoked to show you this tutorial today! As you may have seen from the Pink Safari Party photos, to help entertain the kiddos I created some customized coloring pages of the party girl. A ton of people have been asking how I did this, so I am going to give you the [...]
This post marks Part 3 of our Family Room Built-In Saga: Building the Center Storage Bench *Check out Part 1 & Part 2 Here* Again, I have to give a ton of credit to the husband on this one – he is a building beast! He actually built most of the cabinets in one weekend…we’re [...]
I have a huge announcement to make! The husband’s brother & his wife just adopted an adorable baby girl!!! It has been a long and harrowing process for them to get to this point {one day I’ll tell you the story} and I am just over the moon excited for them. And who has the [...]
Welcome to Part 2 of our Family Room Built-In Saga – “Building the Right-Side Shelving Unit” *View Part 1 Here* The husband was wonderful and really did a lot of the building all by his lonesome so I could wrangle & entertain the little man. Props to him! We started out making basic wooden boxes [...]
As I have mentioned before, the wreath in our family room is one that I plan to change for the holidays & seasons; but, I don’t want to buy a new wreath form every time there is a change…not to mention I don’t have that kind of storage space. So I am trying to make [...]
As you know, we just moved in to a beautiful new house {only 6 months ago}. Approximately 2 months into it I experienced something I never ever wish on anyone. Little man decided to get up on a chair and knock over my Scentsy warmer and wax! And what makes it worse is that I [...]
First of all I have to send out a big THANK YOU to all of my readers! Yesterday {July 12} was my official 1 month blogiversary. A few weeks ago I decided to make it my goal to reach 1,000 views by now…when I hit that a while back I changed my goal to 1,500 [...]
One of the first things I knew I had to fix in our new house was our master bathroom window…as soon as I realized everyone in the neighborhood could look directly in to see the bathtub and the entrance to the shower. Uh…I’m not quite that free with myself. I had heard of people frosting [...]
I have been seeing so many pins on Pinterest for smoothie recipes with bananas! Being a banana smoothie lover myself, I have pinned several recipes & have been making them almost every morning :-) After trying several options for chilling my smoothies, I have figured out that using pre-frozen bananas is the best bet. The [...]
Being new home-owners has really kept me motivated to try and stay organized in every aspect of our lives. I am attempting to pare down all of our stuff, not only to keep our house more beautiful {and clean}, but more efficient for our every-day living. I must admit I had binder envy when I [...]
