Tutorial: Healthy Smoothie Popsicles
I loooooove a good smoothie.  I make one every morning for breakfast, and the boys are starting to love them too.  Inspired by this weeks summer-like temperatures, I figured it was a good time to make some popsicles. We have a pretty relentless ice cream truck driver, so I try to keep healthy alternatives on hand for when she […]
Tutorial: Easy Scrappy Bunting
It’s been quite a while since I’ve really had time to sit down and create something, and even longer since I’ve written a tutorial. Â This one is quick and very simple, and was inspired by Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy. Â (If you haven’t read her adorable blog or checked out her shop, you really should!). […]
Photo Mat Refashion
I have an uncle who really enjoys finding fun, meaningful things to frame and give as gifts. Â He even cuts his own mats, and ends up with a great piece of custom art. Â When Ryder was born, he gave us a small frame with a picture of Batman and a little inscription that read “B […]
Five-minute Jewelry Refashion
I bought this necklace on clearance at Target about a year ago… and haven’t worn it since. I love the soft color and delicate details of the chains. Â However, on my body, it’s a really unflattering length, and it never laid out quite right as soon as I moved. Â I removed the shorter chain, […]
Stuff I’ve Made… Thanks Pinterest!
Oh Pinterest, how you inspire and frustrate me in the same moment!  Luckily, lately I’ve felt more inspired than frustrated, and here is some of the evidence: Amidst a major decor re-do in our master, our closet got a facelift.  Inspired by this pin, I found my pegboard for less than $6 at Lowe’s (but I […]
TUTORIAL: T-shirt Tote Bag, 2 Ways
This is by no means an original idea, but if you haven’t seen it, I thought it would be fun to make my own tutorial. Â If you’re anything like me, you have stacks of old t-shirts you don’t really like to wear anymore (because they’re so bloomin’ old!) but you can’t bear to part with […]
Nap Mat Tutorial
Call me ambitious… call me crazy… call me pregnant. Â I added yet ANOTHER crafted item to my list of things to do or make before Baby comes. Â Since Ryder is no longer sleeping in a crib, I wanted to give him a cozy place to lay his little head when we travel. Â A quick online […]
No-Slip Bookmarks
I receive daily updates from several blogs that I follow, and yesterday I got one from MaryJanesandGoloshes with a tutorial for no-slip bookmarks. Â I have found that Ryder loves to carry around books… MY books… the ones I’m currently reading. Â So I’ve had to forego using traditional bookmarks and resort to folding down the corner […]
Quick & Dirty Update, Plus Quick & Easy Tutorial
I’d like to start this entry by welcoming myself back to the land of the living. Â I’m now in the second trimester of my sixth pregnancy (reached 18 weeks a couple days ago), and I’ve finally begun to resume a relatively normal life. Â I can now walk past the fridge without wanting to lose the […]
Desk Apron
I quickly became tired of chasing Ryder away from all the junk useful and well-organized items under my desk. So I decided to try to create a way to keep him out… I figured the ol’ “KEEP OUT” sign just wasn’t gonna cut it 🙂 So I found a inexpensive piece of fabric that sorta […]
