DIY Tuesday [ Knitted Toddler Scarf ]

Its that time of year; pumpkin flavored everything is out and the weather is starting to get that amazing crisp chill to it.

Well, ok maybe not a chill... I do live in southern CA but it is starting to cool off. 

I'm in my winter time knitting mode and I'm having so much fun with it!

My little girl loves being a princess and playing dress up, so I've made her this cute scarf that we can accessorize to match her outfit. I just love having a little girl.

Here's how to make it.

Freebie Friday [Potty Chart Printable]

It seems like ever since we hit the big 2 the twins have been maturing fast, too fast for this mommy.

This weekend we are converting them to their big kid beds and soon after we'll be tackling potty training [again].

I've created two Potty Charts for my kids and I'm sharing them with you.

Make it Monday [Patriotic Jello]

I've seen lots of different ways to make Patriotic Jello, most of which call for a mixture of milk & Jello. I'm not a fan of a milky jello. It just sounds off to me. So I bought some Cool Whip and decided to make red & blue jello; then top it off with that deliciousness.

Score! Easy and festive treat.

DIY Tuesday [PJ Pants to PJ Shorts]

With the summer around the corner, the heat here in Southern California has been creeping up... sometimes its in the 90s and its only spring!!!

Time to put the kids in some summer time pjs. I try to save money wherever I can, so I thought why buy new pjs just to get shorts?

In less than 10 minutes I gave a pair of pj pants a makeover and now they are pj shorts.

Super Easy! Here's how I did it:

DIY Tuesday [Mickey & Minnie Mouse Painted Shirts]

We got a chance to go to Disneyland yesterday with some friends [for free], we were so excited and extremely thankful.  So, I decided to make all of the kids shirts as a way to thank to our friends  and their family for getting us in. We had a total of 4 kids, two boys and two girls. Naturally I chose to make Mickey & Minnie Mouse Shirts!

I hand painted all of these shirts and they were pretty easy to do.

Inspiration Round Up [Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss]

Dr. Seuss' Birthday is March 9th, its a great excuse to play with the kids and have a fun filled day!

My kids are a little to young this year to appreciate anything fun and cute I do to celebrate it. Instead I've searched the internet and pinterest for super cute ideas for next year.

I've got 9 great ideas for next year and I'm sharing them with you.

Quick Craft [St. Patricks Day Headband]

With Valentines Day over I'm moving on the the next holidays...St. Patricks Day and Easter! I'm thinking ahead to what the twins will wear just so I can take pictures... its fun even though they don't always cooperate.

This headband was super easy to make and the clover is removable so you can put it on a headband for adults too!

Quick Craft [Valentine's Day Onesies]

Happy Valentines Day!!!

So I may or may not have woken up early this morning due to a wild hair... I literally whipped up these onesies in less than an hour. They are really easy. First I went through the twins white onesies that were in the "they don't wear" pile. I mean if I'm going to make shirts they will only wear once I might as well use onesies they almost can't even fit into any more, right?

Here is what I did

DIY Tuesday [Valentine's Day Quick Crafts]

I've seen some really great ideas on Pinterest and I knew I just had to recreate a couple.

The best thing about these two crafts? They require very little materials to make.

I personally only needed to buy wooden hearts and sweethearts candy.

Make it Monday [Apple & Sweet Potato Puree]

 I've recently posted two reviews on products I use because I'm a mom. So today's Make it Monday Recipe is going to be for "baby" food.

The twins are well beyond baby food but from time to time I find it quick and easy to hand them Little Green Pouches that I've filled with veggies and/or fruits. It certainly helps me keep my hands free and the kids busy....
