Pins of the Week

This post should really be titled "Pins of the Last Few Weeks" because I haven't shared one in some time now. I have so many fun pins and ideas to share.   A funny story first, my daughter came home yesterday and told me that in her science class they were making fairy gardens and the teacher got the idea from Pinterest.  She asked the class if anyone's mom was on Pinterest and my daughter said quote, "I was the only one who raised my hand.  Isn't that crazy?  I cannot believe what they are missing!"   A chip off the old block...HA!

SEW-TASTIC

I love these homemade hooded towels.  When my little guy was born, a friend made one for me and it's my favorite towel for him now because it fits so well.  He has grown out of his baby hooded towels (although I secretly love them on him when his little buns hang out the back...lol) but he still wants the hooded part that a big person towel does not provide.  This is the best solution if you don't want to invest in the expensive ones.

But...how about an accent wall in the home.  LOVE this idea.

FOR THE KIDDOS

My 10 year old has one more tooth to lose and it's crazy loose.  My little guy has not even started so I think this could be really fun for her last and his first.  Take a picture of your child sleeping and go to the website linked below the picture and have them insert a picture of the tooth fairy.  FUN!

Pins of the Week...

It's been a month since I've done a "Pins of the Week" post
and I have some really fun pins to share.

CRAFTASTIC

This one is more SEW-TASTIC, but I had to share this adorable onesie I found 

for St. Patty's on pinterest.  I duplicated it for my own little guy!

Here is my own little leprechaun in his big boy version....

What a ham!

FOR THE HOME

I have absolutely no plans of re-doing anything in our home right now, but I just love to look at home decor and home re-do projects.  Here is a fun painting idea I love.  Some day...   I seem to have a thing for stripes lately!

(source)

My daughter's first big girl room had stripes and I adored them.....and that sweet little girl!   Now she's all grown up with a grown up girl's room..sniff sniff!

Here's a better shot of her adorable bedding that I still have because I just can't part with it.

RECIPES

Here is one I'm excited to try.  Now that the weather is warming, I've been pinning tons of salad type recipes and this one looks great!  

spinach, black beans, cucumber, tomato, avocado, lime juice, pepper, cilantro and a dash of olive oil...yum!

FOR THE HOME

We are headed to Disney at the end of April and I'm looking for fun, comfortable outfits that I still think look cute since we always take tons of pictures.  The key is that they have to be cool for the weather and comfy too.  Here are a few I love.

Always need a sweatshirt for the cooler evenings...minus the watch and glasses.

And this could be good for the flight with a light sweater.

GREAT TIP

I found this last week and I loved it.  Not sure how I never did this before or thought of it myself.  I always used the receipt from the prescription to do something similar, but why not write on the bottle itself?   Well, just Friday my daughter went on antibiotics for a throat infection so I'm using this idea!  So easy!

10 Days of Valentine's Day - Days 5 & 6

Only 5 more days until the big day...how did that happen?   Time is just slipping past me.  Today I want to share some cute threads for you and your little ones to wear on Valentine's Day.   I am one of "those" moms who loves to dress her children in outfits for holidays. There, I said it.

The bad part is I'm down to only one who allows me now that my daughter is 10 years old and her own fashion sense, which does not include holiday wear :(   And...I feel like my time might be limited with a little boy soon to enter Kindergarten so I need to max it out this year.

I LOVE to sew as we know and I love to make shirts for my kids.  Here are some I've made for my own and for gifts in the past.

Halloween 

Our trip to Disney 

A gift for a friend's twins

Birthday shirts for friends

 

(don't mind the wet spot...)

Birthday shirt for my own and of course I didn't get a good picture of it...

(he's in grey with his #5 tee on)

Our Captain American tee for our Superhero Birthday party

And this year I decided...it was time to make one for Valentine's Day.  I'm not sure why I never have before. I think I've always found really adorable ones in the stores, but since my homemade shirt time is limited, I thought I'd make my little guy something this year.  Here it is...

I gave him a few choices and he chose the tie because it reminded him of Harry Potter...go figure!   I'm excited to see it on.  While we're talking about handmade...check out some of these cute shirts I found from my fellow etsy sellers.  If you are interested in any of them, just click on the link below the picture!

For twins...better not put them in the wrong order...lol

I adore the sillohuette....but I do have a thing against full names on shirts and bags.  I am ALL ABOUT monogramming and personalization with a first letter, in fact, most of my shop items include it.  It just freaks me out in this day and age to have my child's name on a shirt.  I don't want some crazy out there being able to call my child by 1st name.  Maybe I'm paranoid.

(source)

I loved this and think I may be able to get one more year out of a homemade shirt for my son with something cool like this one...minus the name.

(source)

And I just loved the texture on this one...very unique!

(source)

I also found some really cute ones on Old Navy and Gap that I thought I'd share if you are tight on time, but want something festive.

 I almost convinced my daughter on this one, but she doesn't like pink.

(source)

We used to have one just like this from Paris when my daughter was teeny...sniff sniff!

(source)

And this is just so sweet for the little girl in your life and could definitely be worn again.  I seem to gravitate towards the shirts that can be worn many times and this doesn't say "Happy V'Day".

(source)

This reminded me of one we had when my son was a baby....how sweet!

(source)

And this for the bigger boy.  I almost bought this one.

(source)

Or this one..

(source)

And this one for the coolest dude in your life.

(source)

And lastly, for your little girl or boy...a way to be festive at virtually no cost.  How cute is this idea?  Add some felt hearts to any buttoned shirt!

(source)

We can't forget about you....here is some "pinspiration" I found to help you when getting dressed next Tuesday!  I LOVE anything red and am uber-excited to be able to have a real reason to wear it!

How about some simple neutrals with a touch of red without going overboard...

Love the animal print...

Or how about a super casual look...

Or go all out...hot date or no hot date...MEOW!  Check out those heels!

And I adore this top paired with a great pair of shoes...

And me... I haven't planned just yet.  But you better believe I'll be wearing the shoes pictured here that I had to have last Spring.  I adore them and spent WAY too much on them.  I pray for dry weather.

Regardless of whether you go all out or choose to spend the day in pj's...here's hoping it's a day filled with love!
