Dressing up a plain make up drawer!

Leaving me bored with a glue gun is never a good idea!!!

I took black wired ribbon and made them into bows and purchased leopard print duck tape I bought at Target. First I decided where I wanted to place the duck tape. In this case I placed it on tge handles of each drawer. Next I took the bows I made out of ribbon and hot glued them onto the center of the front if eavh drawer and BOOM all dolled up

Spinach Chips

I think as a mother I am always trying to find a new healthy snack that will be kid friendly. This is much easier said than done! Believe me I know we are all so busy sometimes during the day and will throw a bag of a processed snack at them to hold them over till dinner. But what I have found is when the kids are eating junk I tend to follow! I am determined to change that so I took the idea of kale chips and made spinach chips!!

You will need:
- fresh spinach leaves
-garlic cloves
-olive oil
-salt

Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and pre heat the oven to 375. While the oven heats up wash your spinach, remove the stems and let them dry a little. Then peel and cut one clove of garlic and place them on the cookie sheet along with the spinach leaves. Drizzle it all with some olive oil and add a dash of salt. Pop it into the oven and let them bake for about 10 mins. Once you take them out let them cool and enjoy!

DIY Damask Frame

I am a little obsessed with Damask print so I spent some time looking for a frame to fit this obsession. Then I realized um I think it will be a lot easier to just make what I am looking for. So I took a frame I already had hanging in my house with my favorite wedding picture and decided to re-invent its look
This is the frame I started with.....and theses are the tools you will need:

-Ribbon of your choice
-scissors
-glue gun
Next you will cut the pieces of ribbon to measure up to the size of frame you have and decide exactly where you would like to place the decor. On another frame I did I only did the sides I did not cover all four sides and it came out beautiful. Next you will place the hot glue on the back of the ribbons and carefully place the ribbon in the desired location
thats it...super simple quick idea to update an frame.

The end of my Pregnancy journey #2

Being pregnant this second time around I felt it much harder than my first. I had so much more responsibility to deal with during the pregnancy that I didn't have time to just stop and complain hence one reason why I started my youtube channel. Not many of my family and friends knew about it but I found it such an outlet to vent once a week about my symptoms and found a lot of other mommies who felt the same way I did. I actually created a bond with many mommies on youtube and it was such a wonderful HI tech way of bonding! I love the new millennium =P Ok well back to the story, as the long awaited day approached as slowly as it could it did finally come. Kaylee Belle was born August 26th, 2011. This actually is a very special day to ME. My birthday is March 26 and my son’s birthday is May 26 so when I realized my due date (9/6/11) was semi close to a 26th I FREAKED. Ask anyone I was convinced she was to be born on this date...and you know what...she was. My water broke at 11:30 am so nobody can say I made it happen, she just knew this was her day and joined our lil 26th day family. I would like to confess that yes shortly after my water broke i DID turn my straightener iron on and fixed a few pieces and YES I did sit on my bed applying a tad bit of make-up, but really it was just to keep my mind off the fact that I was waiting for my husband to come home. Labor was a breeze and well here she is beautiful as ever home with the family!!! WE LOVE YOU KAYLEE BELLE!!!!
