Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book: Our bible study was talking about “serving” this past weekend which is funny because I’ve also been reading Bob Goff’s bestselling book “Love Does.” It is a fantastic book about loving people and doing something about it. The chapters are 2 pages each and only little 5 minute stories. He spoke at our MOPS …
Here is my chore chart idea and summer calendar. We don’t adhere to the schedule a ton, but it has a lot of flexibility and the kids like to know what’s for dinner. Our first craft for summer was tie dye t-shirts! This is our second year doing them and I need a …
Here are some great Easter tips and recipes if you are still searching for something to bring on Sunday. Or, if you just want something “spring”y to take to work – these cookies would work perfectly! Royal Icing Sugar Cookies (I did not use baking powder) I used an egg shaped cookie cutter from my …
Craft time! I have this super cute craft to share with you guys! I found this page in the Pottery Barn Kids catalog that was just adorable. Unfortunately, purchasing all of those pretty white picture frames would cost over $200 total or about $90 at the craft store. Instead, I bought the Artist’s Loft Canvas …
Update: I am slowly but surely transforming all of my winter and fall decorations into spring. I think the easiest and cheapest way to accomplish this is to simply use my current decorations. Here, I covered the Halloween wall decor that I purchased at Home Goods for $6 with some fabric. I took photos, but really …
Exercise Update: I have steadily been doing Fitness Blender workouts ever since I received a suggestion from a commenter here on the blog and LOVE them. Daniel and Kelli are just so cute together! Their workouts are fun, as hard or easy as you choose and have no music in the background. I like that …
Book Update: I am almost finished with John Grisham’s “The Runaway Jury”. It reads like a movie! It probably was one… and the movie could possibly be better than the book. I like the book… but just a little far fetched for me. Coming from someone who watches “Marvel: Agents of Shield” and …
Okay, so I finally joined the chalkboard bandwagon. I like how these are so cheap and functional. We purchased the white 4×4″ tiles from Lowe’s Hardware store for 2 cents each on clearance. (Except for the first batch I purchased in August – those were 15 cents each. Exact same thing.) Though, they do …
Book Update: I am still on the same book, but wanted to recommend to you “The Battle for Christmas” by Stephen Nissenbaum. It is a well-researched history of Christmas in America. It is not commercialized, it is not driven by religion or those that might distort the history of Christmas for their propaganda, and it …
Book Update: I finished Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath yesterday. It was really good overall. I would recommend reading most of the chapters. One of them was a little sluggish… and his argument not supported well, but I found the some of the information very interesting. If you are interested in his books at all, …
