DIY Cabochon Flowers {mold & bake!}
Who doesn't little flower cabochons? They are so bright and colorful and make the most darling jewelry pieces. I have a pair of turquoise resin cabochon earrings and my girls also have some darling resin flower clip-on earrings that they love. Instead of purchasing more we decided to see about making them! I don't know the first thing about working with resin, so we turned to something that I knew would quick and easy and very user friendly; Clay! We used Premo Clay ...

Gardening in a Small Space
This post brought to you by Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. I am the queen at cramming way too many things in a tiny garden space. Sometimes it doesn't work out, but for the most part we've had great results! I view the spacing instructions on the seed packets as a guide, but not the rule. The main thing I do each year is prioritize.In a small garden space (ours isn't much bigger than a basic square foot garden) you can have a small sampling of a lot of things or a large crop of a ...

The Birthday Board
Do you have a mother-load of special dates to remember? I do! Being the designated household secretary (according to my husband), I am primarily the one who makes sure that Mother's Day, Father's Day and birthday gifts are sent out on time.

When I saw these fun 12x12 cardstock sheets that were pre-printed (yay!) with little calendars, I knew that I ... Read More about The Birthday Board

Glitter, markers, ... Read More about The Jack and Jill Desk
Spring Dresses in Under an Hour
Spring Dresses in Under an Hour!I've been doing some more spring sewing for the girls! It is still cheaper (at their ages) to make their clothes. Especially little dresses! A dress that takes less than a yard of fabric is certainly more inexpensive than a pair of shorts and a shirt. These little peasant dresses are so perfect for spring and summer!A friend recently gave me a big box of fabric. Many prints were things I didn't think I'd ever use, but were really nice fabrics. Like these Easter ... Read More about Spring Dresses in Under an Hour
Organizing Kids Craft Areas
My kids are the happiest when they are busy making something, especially my girls. Their hands are always covered in marker ink and some sort of stickiness.It warms my heart to see them cutting, pasting and coloring like crazy! I especially love how they've taken over the house with their projects. No longer is it enough to have their art projects on the refrigerator, they have started sticking them with scotch tape on the walls in the living room too.With each project comes a nice little mess ...
