This is one of my favorite go to hair styles. I do this easy bun to finish a bunch of hair styles. And believe me it is easy to do!! Here is a video showing the easy bun. {oh and yes we are moving so ignore the mess and boxes} I got the idea for this easy bun Here. You can do it nice and pretty or you can do it messy and have a cute messy bun. Watch the video because I use this easy bun in so many of my hair styles!! Want a sneak peak at the hairstyle … [Read more...]
Hope everyone is enjoying their summers. I thought summer would never get here as it kept raining. But it came on with a vengeance. Time to get out the sprinklers and pools and swimsuits!! Then mommie can sit outside and read while the kiddos splash around!! Ok here was our selection for June: Princess Academy by Shannon Hale I met a super cute blogger Annie earlier this week and she told me her mother is working with the author to compose a musical score for this book. They are … [Read more...]
Today I am thankful for something to look forward to. For those that don’t know, we are currently house hunting. It has been a hard process. Everything we love has a major draw back to it. Plus we are trying to stay in the same community so it completely narrows down our options. And I keep holding back on major craft projects because we are moving and half packed. So if you notice things getting a little sparse around here, just know that we are probably … [Read more...]

Cute huh? So I grabbed one of each color. What am I going to do with these super cute butterflies? Well I was reading blogs the other day and saw this great project on A Girl and a Glue Gun. Super cute shadow boxes and look what she did with the butterflies. Great idea, wish I had thought of it but I didn’t. Here’s what I did. I took some of these: You can see where this is going can’t you? I’ve had this box of hair clips … [Read more...]

Oh wait. We weren’t speaking of blog makeovers. Well we are now. I did a few things to this ol Blog here. First of all, I made it wider. I love how it unclutters everything. There is a great tutorial here for how to make your blog wider. I also did a few things with my background image. I didn’t like how blogger had a limit of 300k for uploading your own background. So I uploaded mine to photobucket and then went into the html and added it … [Read more...]
I made a great discovery!! You know those photos that look like letters that everyone is using lately. Well I tried to make a last name picture for my mother in law using that technique.

Here is what my girls are giving their Dad for Father’s Day. I love how the text looks a little like iron. It’s very manly to me. I left space at the bottom for them to write “I love you Daddy” and sign their names in their cute elementary school handwriting. I hope it is special to him. If you’d like to download a high quality printable for the great Dads in your life, just click on the pic above. Let me know what you do with it!! I’m linking here!! … [Read more...]

So I was on the lookout the other day for some fitted sheets. Guess what, you cannot find just a fitted sheet. Ok let me rephrase that, you can find a fitted sheet in the 200 thread count itchy scratch sheets. Once you get to 400 thread count or higher you can only find sets. And believe me I went to 5 different stores looking. So if you don’t need a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases, what are you to do? Also, what do you do with all the flat sheets you have stacked in … [Read more...]
