Every Disney trip we try and do some sort of countdown. I do try and come up with some original ones, but one we go back to often is the paper chains. It is easy and cute. And you and you can really make it more involved if you want too!
Mickey Ear Display
I am in the process of redoing our closet and making it better organized. I will be blogging about the closet as a whole later, but one thing I did need to come up with was storage for my Mickey Ears. I really wanted to display them, so I decided to use one of the empty walls and do just that.
Unexpectedly Homeschool Week Two
So here we are in week two of what is a new experience for most of us. Last week started out great, and we all ended up exhausted! We are planning to adjust our schedules some (more on that below) to help keep us fro overdoing it and burning ourselves out. But overall we made a lot of crafts and a lot of progress on some home projects.
Pensacola 2020
So in February back before the quarantine, Melody and I went to Pensacola with my parents for a few days. My mom had to work at a few stores, and Brad happened to be out of town. So we left on Tuesday after Melody finished dance class and drove down and spent through Friday morning.
Big Sister Gift
So last week my sister in law had a new baby girl! That is my third precious niece. I wanted to do something special for my other two nieces since they were going to be big sisters (again for the oldest). I opted for something small that the kids would actually play with vs a shirt or something similar.
Unexpectedly Homeschooling Week One
Well as most of you are likely experiencing, all of our local schools have closed for the next three weeks (at least). While Melody is still in preschool, we still feel we need to find things educational to do as well as keep a decent schedule. She works much better with a schedule, and if we get too out of routine, I know going back to school will be killer! So below are some of the things I plan to do during this quarantine to help us remain sane and calm!
Deep Freezer Organization
We got a deep freezer for Christmas a few years back, and I knew I needed to find a good way to organize it. I have shown how I organized my freezer before, but with the new deep freezer, I wanted a different system.
Mickey Canvas Painting
For one of our many Disney trips, I had Melody do this activity to make the countdown to Disney more fun.
Silhouette Cameo Projects Part Four
It has been a while since I have posted all of my new Silhouette Cameo projects. Over the last year, I have made a lot of shirts, some onesies, and a lot more things. Below are some of the things I have made that I haven’t already posted about within all of my other blog posts!
Melody's Three Year Old Pictures
So while Melody turned 3 back in May, we are JUST now getting to taking her three year old pictures. But she is still so adorable, and she is still 3, ha!
German Fried Potatoes
This is one of the posts I found in my drafts that I apparently never posted. But these are still some of my favorite potatoes even though I can’t have the bacon anymore!
How to Remove a Chocolate Milk Stain
Being a mom, you find a lot of stains on clothes. We encountered a new stain this year…chocolate milk. So this may seem common to most, but Melody hates chocolate milk, ha. Well one day she came home from school with it all over her shirt. And adorable Cinderella shirt. I forgot about said stain, and I washed it. I even dried it. Ugh. But I did some work, and I managed to remove it.
Pillowcase Tutorial
So let me be honest. I decided to go through my drafts folder on my blog and found this beauty. And what is crazy, is the post was entirely finished. So I am not sure why I never posted it. So here we are MANY years later posting it! I mean I didn’t even have a logo on my pictures it was so long ago. But enjoy!
Frontier Airlines
Back in October we flew to Disney via Frontier Airlines. It was my first time flying with them, but my mom had flown with them before to Las Vegas from Nashville. She didn’t have the best experience, but we were hoping for a great experience
Homemade Croutons
I love croutons on a salad, but store bought ones are too hard and not super tasty. So I decided to make my own a (long) while back!
UP Painting
So a year later, I decided to finally post about this painting I did with Melody. I guess I forgot we even did this and stumbled across it and remembered how cute it was! During a countdown for one of our Disney trips, we did different Disney related activities. One of those things was making an “UP” Painting. It was a very thrown together idea that was a risk, but it turned out great!
Valentine's Day 2020
Valentine’s Day is a low key holiday in our household. I mean I do decorate, and we exchange small gifts, but we don’t do fancy. We don’t go out for fancy dinners, or exchange expensive gifts. This year we literally stayed in pajamas all day long! It was quite fun and relaxing.
Our Moving Experience
Back in August we moved into our new home. I have done quite a few blog posts about it so far, but now I want to go into the details of our actual move. We closed on both houses the same day, so the move was a hectic and crazy one. And we would not have been able to accomplish it all without our parents and friends.
Earth and Stone Pizza
A while back we decided to give Earth and Stone Pizza a try. They opened one nearby, and we kept meaning to go there but just never made it. There is a lot of road construction near the one in Madison, so I feel like it takes a bit more effort. But we were glad we finally stopped by and tried it.
Hand Flower Bouquet
As I mentioned Tuesday, I wanted to do a special card for our parents for Valentine’s Day that involved Melody’s hands. For my parents I decided to make a bouquet of flower. It was so cute, I actually made one for us to put with our Valentine’s Day decor! Oh and this would be a cute card for any occasion!
