Trolls: The Beat Goes On – DIY Trolls Poppy Purse

One of our favorite shows is “Trolls: The Beat Goes On” on Netflix. My  little one loves Poppy so I was inspired to create her this DIY Trolls Poppy Purse she can wear to remind her of her favorite character.

DIY Trolls Poppy Purse

We’ve definitely got some Trolls fever in this house. Right now we’re all about the DreamWorksTV animated series “Trolls: The Beat Goes On” on Netflix. The kids loved the movie so naturally the animated series is a favorite. My daughter just loves Poppy! Who could blame her? With that wild pink hair, what’s not to love?! I bought her a Trolls shirt the other day and she was so excited. Being the girly girl that she is, she asked for a purse to match. Have you tried looking for a Trolls Poppy Purse? I have and there’s not much out there, so I did the next best thing! I decided to make her one and this DIY Trolls Poppy Purse was created.

DIY Farmhouse Inspired Coffee Jar

Fall is my favorite time of year. It also seems to be my busiest time of year. Between the kids going back to school, busy season for my work and so many things I want to and see, it’s such a busy time. Every year before the kids start school and my schedule kicks into overdrive, I sit down and use this time – the calm before the storm almost – as a time to reflect on what’s worked in our routines and schedules and make any necessary changes. One thing that works best for me is setting time aside for me each morning. Before the day starts, before the kids wake up and before I need to prepare for what the day throws at me. Just a few quiet moments with me and my cup of coffee. I even revamped my kitchen counters to include a little at home coffee bar.  A spot for my coffee maker, my favorite mugs and my newest addition, this DIY  Farmhouse Inspired Coffee Jar.  [Read more…] about DIY Farmhouse Inspired Coffee Jar

DIY Cat Food Storage Container

For the last few years, we’ve talked about getting a cat but the time never felt right. I had a cat that I adopted as a kitten when I was in the first grade. I loved growing up with Mittens. She was my best friend and the best furry friend I could ask for. She lived twenty one years and passed away when I was pregnant with my oldest. When he was younger, his allergies were out of control and we honestly didn’t think we could even get a cat with how bad they were. Fast forward, to when my daughter was born. She’s loved cats since she could understand what they are. I even joked that I thought she was part cat with some of her mannerisms. Now that she’s 3, all she talked about was getting a cat. Any chance she could get. About three weeks ago we stopped in our local adoption center and brought home our newest additions – Pudgie and Bentley – two Scottish Fold cats. Being a pet owner is a whole new world and I knew I need something to store their dry food in so I created this adorable cat food storage container for them.  [Read more…] about DIY Cat Food Storage Container

DIY Peppa Pig Easter BasketWith Easter right around the corner, I’ve been busy trying to find the perfect basket and goodies to surprise the littles. I like to limit candy and keep it filled with other things instead. Since Peppa Pig is constantly on in our house, I knew I wanted to make her a Peppa inspired basket this year, and with a little tulle, some felt and a few Peppa Pig goodies like the new Peppa Pig Eater Bunny DVD, you can too.  [Read more…] about DIY Peppa Pig Easter Basket – Peppa Pig Easter Bunny on DVD

DIY Game Day Mommy & Me Shirts

Game day in my house is not just a fun party. It’s so much more than that. It’s a time for friends and family to get together and bond over a game of football. If you know me or my family in real life, you’d know just how big a deal game day is. And it’s not just about the food and fun. It’s so much more than that. When we host our game day parties, I tend to go a bit overboard. Football shaped food, decorations in our team’s colors and even cute, matching shirts for my daughter and I. While the guys like to stick with their favorite teams, the two of us are taking it to the next level with a little bit of sparkle and shine with these DIY  Mommy & Me Game Day Shirts. I washed our shirts with Persil® ProClean® laundry detergent from Walmart! [Read more…] about DIY Mommy & Me Game Day Shirts with Persil® ProClean® Laundry Detergent from Walmart®

  • Have you ever planted a garden in your yard? (Ad) I have several container gardens around my deck that the kids helped me plant. We filled them with plenty of herbs and vegetables. I love that they’re small and easy for me to manage. I just love having fresh veggies to make my own homemade, organic salsa all summer long. What I don’t like is when the bugs start attacking my garden. So I started using @maggiesfarmproducts 3-in-1 Garden Spray to keep the bugs at bay. I love this line of green bug sprays because not only are they safe to use around my kids and the cats, but they’re great for the environment too. They don’t leave any harmful residues on the ground and they WORK! You can find Maggie’s Farm in the lawn/garden section at Walmart!
