Lyds had something on each of her bedroom walls, except for one, and I had no idea what to do.  I came across this site and decided it would be a easy, free, and quick way to dress up her wall.  And if it didn’t work out, hey, it was free because I had all the supplies on hand, and non invasive, so it can be removed anytime. You need: Scrapbook paper (any square size: [...]

I made Baby Legwarmers in two different ways.  The first way: a knee high sock went from this to this. This way took less time than the second way, but it didn’t look as good, and the legwarmers kept sliding off Abs’s thighs at church. So, the tutorial is going to be how to make legwarmers that look the top 3 legwarmers in this picture: Supplies Ladies Knee High socks Thread Directions Cut the sock [...]

Abs comes home from church each Sunday and Wednesday with at least two sheets of art work that she made in bible class.  We’ve run out of magnets and fridge space. I think I’d like to “display” her paintings on her color block wall, but I’m not sure how to do that.  Any ideas?  What do you do with your kids’ art?

So far, I’ve made these two dresses from old shirts I had.  They are definitely not perfect, but Abs likes them, so I guess that’s what matters. This was a super simple project.  Can’t believe I didn’t make one sooner.  Here’s a tutorial for you: Lay a dress or shirt of your toddler’s on top of the shirt you’re going to cut.  Make sure the necklines match up and fold the sleeves in on the [...]

Here’s what you’ll need: Freezer Paper (I got mine at Walmart in the section that has Aluminum Foil, Wax paper, etc.) Exacto Knife (also purchased at Walmart, in the sewing section) Fabric Paint (I got mine from Hobby Lobby and [...]

So, it’s still not 100% done, but I just can’t wait any longer to show you pictures of Abs’s new big girl room.  Now why didn’t I ever take pictures of the room before when it was just an office/guest room??  Oh, I know, because it looked awful!  So, sorry you don’t get the full effect of before and after shots.  Just imagine an ugly off white wall with ugly brown doors and brownish, ugly [...]

Sorry about neglecting the site . . . again.  Things have just been so crazy around here with still being pregnant sick, having appointments, getting Abs’s big girl room ready, new baby planning, moving furniture, organizing, and prepping for Abs’s birthday, along with the usual housewife stuff I need to do. Our house looks pretty rough right now– as far as clutter and organization.  I’m typing from in the DINING room.  We used to have [...]
