Bear Toast for Kids

 LOVE, LOVE this easy, fun breakfast toast for my 17 month old and so does he!! This idea, I know, is not new but it's new to me and WE love it! 

Bananas, blackberries and cinnamon toast are his favorite, so we just combine them in a fun way and GRRRRRR, we eat and enjoy!!

Upcycling Old Knife Holder

So I was roaming through Pinterst and found such a great, crafty idea from Roaming Rolfe's blogspot! Thank you for the inspiration!

You know how I love turquoise, so again I found a fun way to incorporate it into my decor! The color is Martha Stewart Lagoon, leftover from a previous project ( Turquoise Armorie)! Here is how I did it! Now my mixer and knife holder all match! I'm loving my kitchen even more!!

Wooden Photo Project




Want to make some cool gifts for family or friends?! Check out Design By Nicola FB page for a great tutorial on how to transfer photos on to wood or visit her website Design By Nicola.

I followed this easy tutorial from Design By Nicola, Part 1 and Part 2,  and then added fun embellishments to mine for Father's Day gifts! Along the way I discovered a cool new way to display family photos, as you can see I was running out of space! I just Velcroed the blocks of wood to our armorie (previous blog before and after armorie ) so I could move them around and change up the design! Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Super Cool and Fun to Make!!

Scented Nail Polish

Strawberry, Orange, Fruit Punch, Banana, Lime!!!!!

Okay, so I saw this scented nail polish and I really wanted to try it! For only $10.00, I wasn't quite sure if it could really possibly smell like fruit. Once I opened it, really all I could smell was a tiny hint of the flavor on top of the strong smell of polish. But once it dried, I could smell the fruit! Some flavors are stronger than others, strawberry and lime, but overall I could smell a hint of fruit. The polish does not go on very smooth and has a matte finish, so I covered it with a sparkly top coat also from Claire's. Overall it was fun trying out the polish! The turquoise -fruit punch was my favorite!

Here are the links to their website of these products.
