Christmas is almost here and sadly I haven’t been able to do as many crafts that I would have like too. My time has gone to other things this past month, like my baby girl, hosting Thanksgiving, throwing my 4 year old son a Star Wars birthday party and my baby girl’s baby blessing. All…

Whatever Wednesday: Naughty or Nice?
I am always trying to figure out ways to get my boys to be behave at home. So I thought that it would be a good idea to use the idea of Santa checking his list for naughty and nice children. I made this sign, one side says “nice” and the other side says “naughty.”…

Whatever Wednesday: Paver Pumpkin
When I saw this idea, I immediately knew that I wanted to do it!! So simple and easy but so cute!! I had one problem though, our hardware store in town didn’t have the pavers that I needed. Luckily, I found some at a garage sale, I was so excited!! I immediately painted one that…
Whatever Wednesday: Spider Wreath
This past weekend I decided that it was time to change my wreath and make a Halloween one. All I did was wrap orange yarn around a Styrofoam ring and then added spiders. I love the spider hanging in the center 🙂
Whatever Wednesday: Halloween Decoration
You all probably know that I like simple and cheap crafts that don’t take a lot of time or space. Well here is another one! 🙂 Way back in February I decided to use some gift boxes for a decoration. Then every holiday I just decorate different gift boxes and change them out. Here are…
Whatever Wednesday: Paper Pumpkin
I saw this cute idea here and had to make one! Instead of using 6 inch strips, I used 24 1″x12″ strips to make mine. I punched a holed in each strip and connected them on with a brad on the top and the bottom. Then I added a paper stem and some raffia. Super…
Whatever Wednesday: Chicken Chow Mein
Just like my crafts, I like to keep my cooking simple and easy. I don’t love to cook, so I only like meals that take about 30 minutes from start to finish and are super easy to make. But most of all, they taste really good! Here is one of my favorites growing up, chicken…
Whatever Wednesday: Carseat Redo
I have several people redo car seats and strollers. I have really wanted to do it, but just didn’t. Well I found the most perfect fabric at Walmart (I couldn’t believe it) and so I decided redo our little car seat. I encounter a couple of problems but overall I think that it turned out…

Whatever Wednesday: Family Game Night Table
A couple weeks back, there was a link in my Motivate Me Monday party that I loved. A little chalkboard table. Well that weekend, I went out garage sale-ing and went looking for a cute end table. Well I scored and found this great table for only $3! So I distressed it to match this…
Whatever Wednesday: Potty Chart
We have been potty training one of our sons lately, so I made him a little potty chart to help along the process. I just took a cookie sheet, mod podged some paper onto it and then made little magnets. Every time he goes potty, he moves a little magnet onto the number and when…
Whatever Wednesday: Another Dresser Makeover
Recently my two oldest boys moved into the same room together, so we needed a dresser for their clothes. I found one at a garage sale that looked pretty good, but was a little girly. So of course I painted it. Here it is before (sorry this is such a bad picture) And here is…
Whatever Wednesday: No Tank Top Required
I have a lot of cute maternity clothes. They are great, but there is one problem, the majority of them require a tank top underneath them. For some reason, that is a very common style for maternity shirts. Well I love the layered look, but where I live it is not uncommon to hit 100+…

Whatever Wednesday: Repurpose pants

Whatever Wednesday: Spiderman Gift Boxes
While shopping at Target, I came across some Spiderman folders on clearance for $.25. I was super excited and picked up four of them ( I should have gotten more, to use as folders). I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I cut them down to size and then just glued them…
