Summer Tee Shirts for Girls I know that I am always late to pretty much every trend....but how did I not know how fantastically amazing the heat transfer vinyl trend was...and now I am just sorry I haven't done more with it! But I think I will remedy that this summer. And the best part? IT COMES IN GOLD SPARKLE! I am pretty sure my husband is now worried that everything in sight will be iron-on gold sparkle. You should have seen me when I saw how sparkly it was. ... View the Post
Easy Flower Comb DIY
It was Spring Break last week and since we were sticking close to home I prepared a few crafts that we could do in the mornings. I even had some "boy-crafts" ready but the boys weren't interested (some day they will be ;) so I will share those as we get to them.

DIY Giant Wooden Dominoes (A Homemade Christmas Gift Success Story)
My husband and I always make our children at least one homemade gift each year for Christmas. Sometimes they are a hit and sometimes they are a miss. Luckily last year our idea was a hit. A BIG one! A family set of over sized Dominoes! My husband cut the set out of pine planks from Home Depot and each domino is roughly 3 and 1/2 inches by 5 inches. (Which has been a perfect size!) Then he used a saw to cut the middle notch. (Being careful not to cut through the domino.) And ... View the Post
