Downeast Spring Mixer

A few weeks ago I was invited to a blogger's night out at Down East Outfitters. What a great store.  There Spring had come out just in time for some great weather.  We chatted and tried on clothes. It was one big fashion show! These ladies are seriously great.  And the Down East clothes are to die for.  It is one of my favorite places to shop. Take a few minutes check out your local store or online.(www.downeastbasics.com)

How to cover a pillow with a Dishtowel DIY

I love finding  simple everyday things and turning them into something amazing.   Today I am going to share how to make a pillow cover with a Dishtowel.  This project was super easy ,cheap  inexpensive and makes an adorable throw pillow for a bed or chair. Making the pillow took me about 30 minutes, with minimal sewing. Not to mention it cost me less than $5.

Mom's Away Free printable for Dad's & Caregivers

Do you remember the old adage "When Mom's away the mice will play??"  Well my little mice will play and maybe starve a little if I don't leave some guidance behind. Coming up super quick my husband will be home with all 4 kids by... his... self. My Husband tries but he is no mom.  Staying home with 4 kids, being on call 24/7, cooking, cleaning and being mom for a long weekend is not really his wheelhouse.  That is my department for good reason.  But every once in a blue moon I get a girls weekend.  Don't we all deserve a weekend with just the girls??  Well my weekend is coming up quick.  For Christmas this year I received a ticket to Snap! a blogging conference. And with this fabulous gift my husband is taking 2 days off work to allow me to go. Now let me emphasize how BIG of a deal this is.  My husband does not take work of for me to go have fun. This is Ginormous.  That is why him taking 2 days off was my only Christmas present.  My ticket was a combined effort on my part. 

So with that being said, I want to make sure my kiddos are taken care of, as though I was right there. And everything will go smoothly for him.  So maybe in the future I can attend other conferences (ahem...Breathing Spaces) and Girls Weekends. So I came up with a quick free printable for my husband.  Just a little something to help him through his day. And to make sure my kids get to school, take naps, get medicine and go to sports on time. These are great to for babysitters or caregivers.  Just fill them out and leave with your kiddos and the person in charge.

Easy Color Block Tees DIY

Have you seen the new styles in stores lately? I feel like I am in a flashback.  My 12 year old self on Christmas day wearing my color blocked shirt and acid washed hot pink jeans.  I was so cute.  As I shop for my daughter I see tons of clothing styles and colors I wore back in the day.  I keep seeing color blocking  and Neon everywhere.  Instead of buying all those expensive shirts I decided to make my own.  You can make yourself  2 shirts for under $10.  Here is how you do it.

We we have been Spring Breaking here in Idaho.  It is still cold and wet here. Not a very fun spring break.   So this year I threw together a fun Mother Daughter Nail party day.  All the moms in the neighborhood brought there little girls over for for yummy treats and a fun girl time.  Sally Hansen knows how to enjoy a little girl time with wonderful products we all love. I heart nail art!

With the help of my good friends over Walgreens.  We got hooked up.

Royal Design Studio Stencil Review & Closet Makeover

These past few weeks have been crazy busy for me.  My kids have been out of school for spring break and that alone makes life crazy. I have had an itch to work on my closet.  It is crazy unorganized, dark and blah. It is huge and can fit 2 full sized mattresses end to end.  Let me also say “I am a blogger and I am unorganized”.  There I said it.  I may need an 8 step program or something.  I am a blogger and I am unorganized. My house is rarely tidy.  I have 4 kids and projects to do. Much more fun than walking around with a dish cloth in my hand all ..day…long. Bless those of you who do.  I am just not that type of person. I would like to be but not enough to give up what makes me happy!  So onto my unorganized closet… and a giveaway!
