This week I’m showing you a post I’ve been waiting to show you for a long time! I’m going to show you our photo booth tutorial so that you can build your own for one of your fantastic parties! My husband built this and it didn’t take him that long but I know it was a lot of work. This was my inspiration picture. A few years ago we went to a family friend’s wedding and they had this awesome photo booth! It was unlike any photo booth I had ever seen, or have seen since, so I had… Read More
I know I usually post a recipe on Sunday but I couldn’t wait to share these 1920’s party pictures with you!!! There are SO many great pictures from my party that I couldn’t wait any longer to post them. Plus I have some completed party projects to show you! Here’s a picture of the bar with the chalkboard menu that I made. “Giggle Water” was what they called an alcoholic beverage in the 1920’s. Mason jars that we used for the glasses. Wine barrels that I borrowed from my father-in-law decorated with candles, 1920’s phrase cards and antique photos. I wanted… Read More
I can’t believe it’s already been 4 weeks since I started using the ARM & HAMMER Advance White Brilliant Sparkle. Not only are my teeth sparkly clean but I have found so many great uses for using the toothpaste around the house!After writing my post on how to clean your cook top with the Advance White Brilliant Sparkle toothpaste, I received some great tips from my readers for other uses for the product. Here are some of the ideas that my readers had for how to use the toothpaste: drying out pimples (hmmm… I’ll have to give that one… Read More
I don’t know about you but we have cords for everything! We even have multiple cords for some things! We have a table in our entryway that I use for storing our cords, chargers, etc. A couple of months ago the drawers looked like this and they were driving me crazy! So I decided I needed a good solution to organize cords. Every time I needed something out of one of these drawers I’d have to pull everything out because they were all tangled together, seriously annoying. One day I’d had enough so I headed out to… Read More
I discovered how much I liked mojitos just last summer. I don’t know why I didn’t discover them sooner because I’ve been missing out for years now! Last year I bought a mint plant and I made mojitos all summer long and it was awesome! They are the perfect, refreshing summer drink. If you haven’t tried them before, or just haven’t had one in awhile, then you need to print out this recipe and go make one! Trust me you’ll thank me. 🙂 The Perfect Mojito Recipe Makes 2 drinks Ingredients: 4 sprigs of fresh mint 1/2 oz simple syrup… Read More
A few weeks ago Matt built a fort for Malea out of one of our large sheets. Malea had a friend over and unfortunately she found a red marker that had been left out. Oops. There was marker all over the white sheet, the guest room bedspread and Malea’s teddy bear. Malea kept saying that Teddy was bleeding. 🙂 Her friend’s mom felt so bad but I reassured her that it was an easy fix. As with all my random cleaning solutions, I’m not sure where I learned this but I’ve been doing it for at… Read More
Question: Please help! I have two large shoes boxes overflowing with medicines. I’m sure a few of them have expired, but most are here to stay. The bottles are 85 different sizes. We’ve got supplements, vitamins, and OTC meds for every occasion. And, don’t get me started on the pet medicines. I know this problem is going to spiral out of control when we start having kids. Do you have a good way to sort & store these? Answer: This is an area that I have always struggled with organizing. I seriously think that medicine companies should be required to all have… Read More
Do you have anything with a tough stain that you just can’t seem to get off? I love my oil and vinegar bottle set but they are the biggest pain in the butt to get clean because of the narrow mouth. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it years ago, since I use them for so many other things, but the best way to clean these tough stains are… Denture cleaner tablets! I know that seems silly but trust me these babies are awesome for cleaning random stuff. Drop the tablet… Read More
