Butterfly Feet for Mothers Day

I had to add this cute picture! I do home childcare and we made these really cute butterfly footprints with a poem that fit perfectly! It was our project for the kids mommies for mothers day! I got the idea from of course non other than Pinterest!

Felt Car Mat

Well, where have I been? I have been busy sewing hats for my boys, nieces and nephew and making this awesome felt car play mat for Chase for Christmas. I didn't want to post it until after Christmas because my kids sometimes check out my blog too. Anyway, this was so much fun to make and very time consuming. I didn't end up completely finishing it. I told Chase when he opened it up that this is our work in progress and that maybe each weekend we can add something else to it so he would feel like he was creating it too ( way to cover up not being finished ! LOL). So here are some pictures of it with some of his other "car things".



How funny is that? Even my other boys were having fun playing with this!
Who would have thought that four older boys would spend over 4 hours playing with this too! Gotta love it!



Perfect Way to Reuse a Shower Curtain

(adapted from hand made matters)
 Zippy Pouch,  a simple zippered pouch sewing project made out of a shower curtain. I love this idea because it can be easily carried around when empty and is perfect for carrying wet or dirty clothes such as swimwear or that toddler “accident.”

Fall Decorating

Fall is one of my favorite times of year and I love decorating for Halloween and that Fall Season. I found some great pictures of inspiration and ideas for me I just wanted to share.

Family Canvas Rules

This is a fabulous idea.....I'm going to sit down with my kids the next FHE and discuss our family rules and let them help come up with some. What a great way to remind them kindly that they need to follow the family rules. There are so many all over blogland. I found these at Tatertots & Jello.

Cute Hair Clippie Wreath

Ok, so it's no secret that most girls have a thousand hair clippies......I would never have a clue how to organize them with having 4 boys but this was too cute not to share!  How about turning them into a cute wreath on the wall for less than $5........ The Simple Craft Diaries has a perfect solution......I absolutely LOVE it!!!!!! There's no secret......Just clip on the bows and flowers!!!!!

From this.....to this!!!!!

Taking off Shoes

Asking guests to Take Off Shoes can be easier than you think these are really cute ideas!!

Remove The Shoes

1.  Here’s a cute block that you can decorate or embellish any way that you like and pop in a darling black and white photo of your kiddies piggies. {scroll down to bottom-middle on that post}

2. Take Off Shoes lettering by the baseboards is such a fun idea.  I love how the letters get progressively larger but the same color as the wall. {snicker}
