Grandparents Day!

Here we go again!
A wonderful day to celebrate grandparents! It's on this day in particular that I miss having my own grandparents around.
You really take those old people for granted. I thought they were old and clueless when I was little .. Little did I know they could teach me so my much!

Lucky for me (and my babies), my parents are always around and wonderfully active in my kids lives. We are so very blessed.

I saw this idea on Pinterest.

Grab a Sharpie. Draw or write whatever you wish on your mug.
Bake in a preheated oven (350) for 30 minutes.
Let them cool and the design should stick.

I did one for myself on a glass mug and the design wiped right off after I had a cup of coffee.
I'm thinking since the glass was so shiny and couldn't absorb the ink as much that might explain why it came off.
I hope.

Haha.

Anyway! We had a wonderful day and were able to make my parents (and Aunt - who is also a grandparent. Duh.) a yummy brunch and I think it was enjoyed by all!

Mother's Day!

So here's my moms gift that I made her.
I saw the idea on Pinterest but it was much younger kids. I thought it would be cute so I tried it & she loved it!

The pictures (in birth order) are pretty self explanatory. My sister sent me her picture from AZ and I just took the one of my brother (he took mine).

I bought the frame from Target for like $15. :)

Geocaching!

I made this little shadow box to fill up with all of our goodies!

I just used a couple scraps of scrap booking paper and attached it all with tape.

I'm sorry

I've neglected you, my poor little blog.

I'm sorry.

I'll come back, I promise.

And I'll provide crafts & yummy foods!

How about that?

:)

Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays!
(Doesn't matter if I'm with someone or not, I love the day!)
So January 14th - I put this up so I had a whole month of my house filled with hearts. Haha. 

Happy Valentine's Day! :) 

Charlie Brown

This is Carlos. My former husband.

This is his awesome shirt that I made him for Christmas.

He somehow acquired the nickname Charlie Brown, so I thought this would be oh-so appropriate! 

I bought a $5 yellow Polo from Old Navy and used a black Fabric marker that I already had.

I simple free handed it and here is my creation.

He loved it! :)

Bird Feeders

Super easy & fun craft for kids. :) 

Grab some pine cones.

Cover 'em in peanut butter.

Cover that in bird seeds. 

And here you go!
