DIY Jewelry Box

on February 8, 2016

We’ve been very into coloring pictures and pipe cleaner jewelry over here… like I leave with at least 6 pipe cleaner bracelets every time I come over. Its pretty amazing actually.

The kiddos had the idea that they wanted to make special ones and give them to mom. I asked what was so special and of course Noah pipes up and says “LOVE”. Needless to say my heart was melted. We wanted to make something cute that Mom could keep her knick knacks in so a DIY Jewelry Box it was! The cool thing about this is that it was made entirely of things found at the Dollar Tree besides spray paint! ( I had on hand) Holler for a dollar! Continue reading

DIY Essential Oil Shower Soothers

on February 3, 2016

Do you ever just walk into lush and look at all those delicious bath bombs and fizzles, dreaming of yourself luxuriating in a bath full of bubbles and luscious scents? Yep, me too.

DIY Kids Melted Crayons Valentines (with printable)

on January 25, 2016

Since the third grade I have always promised myself I’d make me own valentines, and since the third grade I have not accomplished this. Don’t get me wrong, I hand them out, but they’re usually the store bought kind in whatever quirky thing I’m feeling when I go shopping. Since I’ve been working with kids though, I realized how easy it can be. Yes, I said easy. Apparently I was a bit overambitious before this. Who knew!
