posted on : January 8, 2019 posted by : Jen 0 Comment

It is that time again…my guilty pleasure TV show is back…The Bachelor. I really can’t explain why it is so awesome, it just is!! So many women and so much drama is just so entertaining. In Germany, Jessie and I had many afternoons watching The Bachelor and the Bachelorette and my personal favorite Bachelor in Paradise in her bed eating junk food, shhh, Don’t tell Greg…he also has a secret, well not so much anymore 😉 love of watching the bachelor. I am sure he will love me announcing it, I guess we will see if he reads this!!

Our Year in Review: 2018 Top Blog Posts

It’s hard to believe that 2018 is coming to an end. Jen and I launched our blog September 28th and it has been a crazy, amazing, exciting, sometimes overwhelming adventure ever since. Can you believe it has only been 3 months?? We can’t either!! Time has flown by and we have loved bringing to life all our DIY projects and tutorials, renovations, and just sharing our homes with all of you. We have learned a lot in the process and I am sure have lots more to learn…but through all of it the best part has been connecting with our readers and hearing about your projects and hopefully inspiring others to add a little DIY into their lives.

Here are a few of our favorite blog posts so far and a recap of the most popular with the readers over our first 3 months. We hope you have enjoyed ALL we have shared so far. There are lots of ideas floating around in our notebooks for the New Year, so be looking out for those. If you have a great idea for us, we would love to hear about it too. Let’s make 2019 a GREAT Year!!!

DIY Christmas T-Shirts

posted on : December 20, 2018 1 Comment

It is no secret I love my cricut…the project ideas are endless. This year I was thinking about our Christmas card what I could do to make it original. We didn’t take any really amazing family pictures, next year we will have to work on that!

So, I decided to go with the ever so popular family pajama Christmas photo. To make it my own I thought I could make my own t-shirts. I asked my kids what they would like and my daughter of course suggested emojis or unicorns. Emojis won since I didn’t think my son would appreciate a picture of him in a unicorn shirt! The best part is I had all the shapes my cricut already and didn’t have to buy any emoji images. All I needed was the t-shirt and iron-on. The most difficult part of this t-shirt is the layering of the iron-on. It was a longer process then normal but the finished product came out so cute.

Almond Cookies

Cookie exchanges are very popular during the holiday season and it is always a challenge to come up with new and different cookies for each exchange. I saw this recipe on a morning talk show a really long time ago and I have made it almost every year since. These almond cookies are so delicious…almost like a shortbread, which I love. Not to mention they go great with coffee!!

DIY Teacher Gifts

posted on : December 17, 2018 0 Comment

It’s that time of year to thank all the amazing people who help support our children and help them grow. Teachers do so much for our children all year it is really nice to thank them, especially at the holidays for all their hard work and patience. It is so difficult to come up with new and creative ideas each year for the teachers. The standard go-to gifts are always appreciated by the teachers, but sometimes it is fun to get creative.

This year, I am working on a DIY Personalized Wooden Pencil Holder. I actually bought one of these off of Etsy a few years back for one of my amazing teachers and thought to myself ~Hey, I could totally make this myself…if I had the time of course. Well, this is the year! This would also be a great gift for Teacher Appreciation Week or End of the Year Gift.

So…Let’s Get Creating! 😉
