ST. PATRICKS DAY

Hello, Happy St. Patricks day! I hope you day is filled with lots of green!
Today I'm sharing this sweet little St. Patricks day themed breakfast over at Moms Best.
I had to admit I had the CUTEST little models, okay, okay, I maybe biased because their my neices but I really do have the cutest little nieces, watching their little faces light up was absolutely priceless, these little girls are silly, and there 10-month old sister hoped on in the photos and stole the show, she grabbed a box of donuts and started stuffing her little face right away, seriously so cute, you can see the photo here!

Happy St. Patrick's day! Rest of the party details over here!

Project life.

Have you guys heard of project life? Ok you probably have.
But I'm just new to the game, but I love the idea! You can check more details out here.
Basically you print photos + journal about those photos or moments in your life, but since I've never kept a journal, terrible I know, I'm 100% in love with this idea! I think that its perfect, especially to leave behind memories and photos for generations to come, so I'm thinking a little futuristic but I want my great-great-grandbabies to know who we are, so I'm starting. And since I was a HUGE scrapbooker back in the day, I've got my baby - beginning college life complete. But I'm just going to start today, the last couple months. So here I go!

Also I know there's a ton of photo printing sites out there, which are amazing, i've used a couple my self, but I decided to save a little cash by just printing these at home on my HP photoprinter using 4x6 photo paper, BEST idea (see photo above). Also I love the idea of a HUGE book, but I felt like I need to start small so I picked up a mini book with 4x4 sheets. Keep it simple and small for now and I can always grow into a big book if I can stick to it!

I'll be posting more of my pages here soon, so stay tune!

If you printing at home here's what you'll need:
HP Photo Printer
HP Photo paper
Instagram

* Note I happen to love instagram because it filters your photos (I also use the app Pic Tap Go) and makes the images sqaure which is perfect for printing

Instruction: Download your instagram photos to your computer, open the photo in a photo editing software OR word, just change your papersize to 4x6, than copy your images into the program, make sure the images are the proper size, for a small book, 2x2. Trim and you're done! You can also turn these into magnets just by adding a small magnet to the backside.

A LITTLE SUNSHINE THERAPY.

Guys, let me tell you, vacation is super nice, ok really nice, but dang....
the harsh reality of going back to life, just kind of slaps you in the face, I feel like I'm all over the place, like trying to find some common ground like my mind running 1,000 miles an hour but not making sense. Anyways enough about my scatter brain lately. Here's a little summery of our trip, we packed it up and fly to Phoenix, if you haven't go, go, but seriously now I know why all the "older" people love it, I myself living in a state where we get ALL four seasons (it's a love hate relationship) I would easily pack it on down to Arizona in the winter, no questions asked, because seasonal depression around here is no joke, it's real, and overrated.

We had such a blast! Renaissance fair, which they take very seriously down there, waffle trucks, Gilbert Temple, palm trees, late night hot tub, gorgeous pink + orange sunsets, more good food, flea market, rock shopping, just shopping, just basking in the sunshine. It was a great 5 days! Oh, and friends I ever threw in a selfie of the hubs and I, cactus selfie!

But I'm back and I absolutely promise I have some fun things in store, so stay tuned!

Ombre Donuts.

 

So who loves a little ombre style? Me, I do, I know it may be like soo last year, but I'm still over here full hearted-ly loving it. So today we it's a little ombre but donut style! Because we all love donuts? Seriously I snapped the last picture of this than instantly popped one of those bad boys in my mouth! Delicious, best part about these are, they're cake donuts, never ever in my life had ever had a preference of donuts, but after these I just may be partial to cake donuts from now on. I just picked these up from my local bakery, but local bakery, I do mean Super Target, let's get real, I don't like in a fancy city with my own bakery, so really I just mean like Target, Hy-vee, Bakers, you get it, right?

Anyways head on over to Mom's Best to get the full tutorial on these! Best part is that it just requires 1 bowl of frosting + 2 food colorings, that's it super easy. Donuts never looked or tasted this good. So hop on over to Mom's Best to make these fun treats, these would be so fun for kiddos!

Don't worry its Monday & We're alive.

Hey, no need to worry, we're still alive after a seriously case of the stomach flu
Nothing says Valentines day like puking your guts up right? Wrong, I tried quarantining my self but, lets just say that didn't work, but guess what.... it's Monday and we're feeling good! The house is bleached- top to bottom- 2 cans of Lysol 1/2 bottle of bleach, and a container of Clorox wipes down. But good news since my house is sterilized that means you can come over, its 99.9% germ free.       So before the illness struck, I managed to make pull off a partial DIY, that totally counts right? But don't worry the rest is coming, promise!

So here it is...
DIY gold spray paint animals.

Supplies:
Plastic Animals (dollar tree)
Rustoleums Metallic Gold

Lets be honest, you can prime these but if your in a hurry or its super cold outside, just skip it, go straight for the gold. The Rustoleum covers REALLY well,sometimes just 1 coat or some cases 2. Let these babes dry and you're good! Stay tune for part 2 it's worth it, wink wink!

These would be super adorable for a shower just painted, or wait till you see what I have in store!
