A Few of the Christmas Gifts I've Been Working On! :)

-
Lately, I've been working on A LOT of Christmas gifts, but I can't post them up here as I make them because people will see them! :)  Here are some projects that I gave away today at Family Christmas Party #1. :)

This tray was made for my 14 year old cousin.  She looooves Zebra print. :)  This was one of those unfinished wooden trays from Hobby Lobby and I painted the edges and Mod Podged some squares and strips of zebra scrapbook paper to the bottom and painted her initial to add to the center.  Part of me wanted to turn it upside down, pretend it was a W and keep it. :)

I made these clips for the younger girls in the family.  The one of the left reminds me of a lollipop. :)  The pink flower was made with ric-rac and looks kinda like a rose! :)  I found the lunchboxes at Garden Ridge and used them as wrapping for the clips because I figured the girls could play with them or keep other hairbows in them! :)


I'm linking up with Along for the Ride for Saturday is Crafty Day! :)

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
