She {hearts} Candy Cottages
Does your family have a tradition of decorating Gingerbread Houses during the Christmas season? I love the idea and even before I had Allie Grace I decorated them each year in my class with my students and then again with my 4-Hers. However, actually assembling the graham crackers into the frame of the house was so [...]

She {hearts} Creating a Gift Basket for a Sick Child
Recently, one of my sweet little friends (age 11) had surgery and had to stay in the hospital for over a month. As a child I was in the hospital for four days, so I knew she would enjoy having some fun things to do while she was in the hospital (it can get a [...]
Mod Podge Chevron Frames for Valentine’s Day
Photo taken 12/4/11 during a date night at FunFusion in NY. I recently picked up my very first bottle of Mod Podge and I am hooked. For my very first project I decided to attempt to decorate some frames for Valentine’s Day. I honestly had no idea what I was doing, but I love how they turned out! This project is perfect for sprucing up old frames. I didn’t have any frames in need of an immediate makeover so I picked some up at Walmart for 98 cents. I was hoping to find white frames, but I was unable to [...]

She {hearts} DIY “Green” Gift Tags
If you’re like me, you’re always trying to think of new ways to save money and reuse the things you already have around the house. Well, I got the idea to reuse our tissue boxes and make these cute Christmas present tags out of them. Sometimes we have some really pretty designs! And I’m one [...]
What Our Mini Halloween 50ft Party Looks Like
So Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. And I admit, I’m using Jayden as an excuse to relive my childhood, only like 10x’s better, lol. I really like decorating our home according to season. It just makes life at home more exciting! I had the opportunity to shop Kmart’s Totally Ghoul selection using Kmart’s 50ft Party and Dawn’s Kmart Halloween Party Bluprint as inspiration. Halloween Shopping List Plush Pirate Mickey Treat Bowl Assorted Candy 3 Hanging Heads 20pk Bats 4pk Spiders Command Hooks Freaky Fabric Pumpkin Lights Purple Icicle Lights (couldn’t figure out what to do with them) With [...]
DIY HE Liquid Laundry Detergent
Lately, I’ve been brushing up on my domestic skills and I recently started making my own HE laundry detergent that works great in our Whirlpool Duet washer. Instead of talking about custom cycles as originally planned, I’d like to share my laundry detergent recipe instead. Before I get into the recipe, I’d like to update a bit on the our Duet pair. They are still serving us well and we are quite pleased with them. We haven’t created any custom cycles since we are content with the built in suite of cycles. So yeah that kind of skewed my plans [...]
