Girls Playroom Makeover – DIY PegBoard Tutorial

Need a fun and creative way to organize all your kiddos stuff? Well, I have a great option for you. When it comes to storage sometimes it’s necessary to be creative and think outside the box. I’ve been working on updating a girls playroom lately and like so many of our kid’s spaces the biggest struggle is 1) finding a space for all of…

DIY Unicorn Valentine Card

Well, it is that time of year again ♥ Valentine’s Day ♥. It always creeps up on me and I am running to the store at the last minute looking for those little cards to send into the classroom and all that is left is organic healthy snacks or fun dip. So, I end up on Pinterest frantically trying to find something easy but cute to make. This year is a little bittersweet for me. It is my last classroom Valentine’s day party. My youngest will be in middle school next year and it is just not cool anymore to give cards, I guess. According to my daughter she will just have a real Valentine next year…Yikes!!!

Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day 

❤️ Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day ❤️

This year for Valentine’s Day, I wanted to add a Modern twist to my decor. I thought it would be fun to try something a little different from the traditional red, pink and hearts but also, still stay true to the holiday’s fun, flirty style. I did a background of black and white, with pops of color using mostly pink and green. Then added lots of unique, easy and creative DIY’s that everyone can do. Also, remember it’s all about the details! If you look careful at all the pictures the final touches really finish off each space! 😉

Bringing Christmas Magic into 2019

Well, it is a wrap on Christmas 2018. Hope you all had a HAPPY, HEALTHY, and FUN Christmas!!  It seems to fly by faster and faster each year. All that planning, decorating, and cooking is now a distant memory and it is time to think of what the New Year will bring. It is always exciting to look into the next year and think about your hopes and wishes for the New Year…almost like a new beginning!

DIY Teacher Gifts

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! 😉
