Pintrest Tuesday – Father’s Day

Welcome to Pintrest Tuesday!!

 

Father’s Day of course is full of Pintrest ideas!!

 

Father's Day Pintrest Board

 

Last year Landon and I made Hero boxes for all the men

Greatest Dad(s) on Earth

 

My favorite so far I think..

 

This year we did

‘Stache jars

 

DIY Father's Day gift: 'Daddy's stache' candy jar

 

I used my cricut for the lettering and Landon found the mustache stickers at Walmart.

 

I love the jars! I think they are adorable!

 

Although as I was working on these I realized and don’t do anything for the Moms and Grandmas for Mother’s Day! Nick reminded me it was because I make stuff for him and not myself. I guess I’ll have to get better about that next year. YICKES! Sorry Moms and Grandmas!

 

Until next week

 

Keep pinning and crafting!!

Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!!

 

Our day was filled with fun!!

 

 

 

Landon and Nick went to see the new Iron Man 3 movie! They loved it!

 

The kids gave Daddy his gifts

 

 

Landon made him a card..

 

I updated the “DAD” picture..

(getting Leia to cooperate with this was WAAAAY harder than I expected! ugh!)

 

and the kids made him some handprint art..

 

I got him t-shirts for sleeping and socks! He’s always running out of both all. the. time.!

 

Later that night we went to Gpa & Gma’s house for dinner! And gave Gpa and Grandpa Bob their ‘Stache jars too!

 

 

Papa will get his at dinner tomorrow night!

 

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!

 

*sorry about the pictures, not sure what is going on there...

Pintrest Tuesday- A Summer Plan

Welcome to Pintrest Tuesday

The first week Landon was here for the summer was filled with watching TV.  The car happened to break the day before he go here so we weren’t going any where. There is only so much Power Rangers and Woody Woodpecker I can take.

I needed a plan for the summer!!

I found this blog post via Pintrest

Make your summer at home with kids count 

So I thought I’d give it a try.

I made my strips of activities

and the extras

made a daily chore chart

and one for money (when the daily ones are done first!)

I planned some field trips and activities for him and we started last week.

It is going pretty good so far. He gets excited to see the plan for the day and loves to go to the next activity.

His favorite is Room Time. Go figure.

I try to plan the quiet times during Leia’s nap time so I can get some quiet time, scrapbooking, crafting, or me time in.

Yesterday I was feeling lazy and we basically had a free day (bad step-mommy).

He likes it and Power Rangers is not constantly on so I’m happy too!

Thanks Thriving Home Blog

Pintrest Tuesday –Name Fun

Welcome to Pintrest Tuesday!!
**update** I added pictures of the finished

 

A few years ago Nick bought some cardboard letters for Landon’s room; I’m just now getting around to utilizing them… (bad Step-Mommy).

 

I came across this pin a while ago

 

I thought it was super cute and EASY!

basically you take the naked cardboard letters and glue them together vertically.

I working on getting Landon a skateboard themed room so I painted the letters red to match the fabric

 

I have

that will someday be a pillow or something…

 

I also love this pin…

I love the pop of color and the stripe along the wall.

 

After I painted the letters I decided to hang them on the wall instead of stacking them. I figured I can always take them off the wall and stack them, but I can’t do the other way around without ruining the letters.

 

Here are the letters all painted.

 My car died this weekend so I haven’t been able to get to the store for the command strips I need to hang them.

 

I’ll put date this post when it’s totally done.
**update**

 

 

Until next week

All of these pins are on my Boy’s Room board.

Pintrest Tuesday –Privacy Window

Welcome to Pintrest Tuesday

 

I LOVED this idea from the first time I saw it!

 

We have two small windows that flank either side of our front door.

They are too small for standard blinds, and curtains just seem weird here.

 

I needed a way to add some privacy but still let the light in..

Privacy Window

 

This pin is on my

 

Entry board

 

I couldn't wait to do this in this house.

I even bought the supplies before we even owned the house.

This is a really good tutorial and has the stencil too. I reduced the stencil to 75% because of my window size. She has some really good tips on her site also.

 

I was only able to do one side so far. I need to cut out some more and finish it up.

 

 

The window is a little difficult to get a good picture.

 

My only tip is to make sure you are precise on your cutting.

If you’re a little off aligning them can get tricky.

 

Bella and Leia love to look out the windows and this obstructs their views so they are not so happy about it, but I love it.

 

Now on to the other side!

 

Until next week!

Pintrest Tuesday –Flippy Floppy Organization

Welcome back to Pintrest Tuesday

 

I’ve been wanting to do this next project for a long time. As you can see I have a LOT of shoes

and flipflops.

My secret goal is to own every color Old Navy offers ;D

Usually they sit in a tub and when I want to wear a pair I spend 10 minutes looking for matching colors..

 

So, here is my solution and pin

 

flippy floppy organization

Brilliant idea I say!!!

 I didn’t have any wire hangers (Mommy Dearest flash backs!!)

and I’m too impatient to add another bar right now. So here is my version…

 

 

 

I’m happy! My flip flops are happy!

And Nick is happy they are no longer scattered on the closet floor.

 

Until next week!!!
