Who needs a fun Valentine’s Day Activity today?! I’ve got the perfect eco-friendly bird feeders for some fun and you’ll likely have everything thing you need on hand! We are a crafty crew that loves any excuse to create an up cycled project. Major bonus if it’s going to bring more wildlife around our house….
I’ve had a super hard time finding hair gel that I love the hold of and doesn’t come with toxic additives. So last year I started making my own….with FLAXSEEDS. It holds well, although the texture gets a little bit of getting used to. It’s also super important you add in the oils to help…
I feel like it’s almost redundant of me to tell you how much I love this time of year, yet again, but it’s so true. The hustle, the bustle, the gratitude, the transition of Thanksgiving to Christmas, etc etc etc. I really do love it all. I’m a little bit proud of myself, too. Why?…
It’s a rarity that we don’t cook dinner or lunch at home, but when we do go out we have a handful of places that we opt to go that is “fast food.” One of the few place we do go is Chick-fil-A. Fun Fact: I’ve been on the national Mom Panel for Chick-fil-A that…
I just shared why we ditched Dryer Balls and this post is the DIY counterpart promised from that post. If you missed the post, you can read it here. Purchasing wool dryer balls takes the work out of creating your dryer balls is thavailable on Amazon for a reasonable price. However, if you have a…
It’s no secret that I love two things – encouraging my children to be creative and encouraging my children to play with an imagination. With A I’m so very that she has a fantastic imagination, as well as, loves to learn. I feel like both are incredibly important traits for her as she grows and…
There is no doubt that we love flowers, crafting and color around our home. I usually grab a fresh bunch of markdown flowers on our weekly shopping trip, we are always creating something around here and colors are just inevitable with kids and cheeriness. We also like up-cycling quite a lot too. If I can…
I was thinking the other afternoon about all of the pregnant women I know, or know of, and coincidentally I was about to get get ready for the Free Everyday Luxuries Set I’m sharing with you this week. I had a “lightbulb moment” about a unique gift idea that is a bit out of the norm…
As soon as Christmas has come and gone the next holiday that really gets into my heart is Easter. Sure, there is Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day sprinkled in between that I like to make fun for the kids too, but Easter is the next big one. The one full of extra fun, tradition and…
Hey friends! Whew. What a week around here. I’ve been meaning to pop in and share this sweet little DIY that A and I did this week for Valentine’s Day and I’m just now finding a moment to get it on here. We had such fun with this sweet little project and it took no…
Can I tell you a secret? There’s usually only ONE football game a year that we watch: the Super Bowl. This year we will certainly be watching because A) Commercials. B) Go BRONCOS! The last time the Broncos were in the Super Bowl was 2014 and they had a tragic loss it was tough for us…
A few weeks ago we went to the library my mom frequents and made homemade watercolors! We originally thought we would make them and paint with them that day but we actually just made them because they had to set up for about 48 hours. Yowch. Mom fail, A was so excited about art class….but…
I love keeping recyclables on hand for quick crafting projects. Toilet Paper & Paper Towel rolls, clean egg cartons (I a very careful to make sure there isn’t any egg on the ones I keep), plastic bottles, etc. These are all great for having on hands to make fun projects out of. While finishing up…
Whew! It’s been a busy week around here but I’ll give you all those details soon, I’ve been dying to find an extra bit of time so I can share today’s project with you! We made this wreath a little over a week ago and at the time I didn’t even think of making it…
In June I shared with you our super fun fairy garden, as I mentioned in the post we didn’t buy anything but the succulents for our garden and either upcycled everything or found them outside (minus the hot glue, of course!). Today I’m going to share with you how I created our fairy garden from…
I remember as a little girl I would play in the timber behind out house imagining the little creatures that might just live within the rocks and hidden places. I imagined that maybe there were fairies or gnomes and it was a place full of wonder. As I grew up, like many my imagination quieted…
We are all about upcycling and making old things new around here, and my favorite thing is to include A in projects. One thing we occasionally have around that end up in the trash are nail polish bottles. I mean, what could they even be used for? They are tiny, and useless. Right? Wrong. I…
