Pins of the Week

Life has been nothing short of CrAzY lately with the end of preschool for one, end of a soccer season, opening of our beach club and finally...end of the school year for my daughter tomorrow.  Woo Hoo!  I need to get on a better schedule than we've been on.  We've been burning the candle at both ends for a few weeks now running from activity to activity, staying up way too late enjoying the weather and sunlight, visiting with friends and it has caught up.   We even had an impromptu play date in our PJ's yesterday.   Needless to say, I ended up sick last week with an ear infection and so forth and finally feel better this week.

So, with that said, I have been very negligent of this blog.  I have been very busy with teacher gift order of beach bags and other bags and I am soooo grateful that the shop is nearly sold out.  I need to re-stock soon, but still have a few more orders to fill.  Thank you to all who have supported my business...we're nearing a year already and I'll keep you posted on a big celebration sale in July.

I thought I'd do a quick "Pins of the Week" post today before I run to my daughter's school to deliver some teacher gifts (homemade bags  and zippered pouches and gift cards of course).  

(and yes those are play handcuffs in the background...lol)

So here you have it...I've even been neglecting Pinterest if you can believe that.  The nerve.

CRAFTASTIC

We love to make friendship bracelets in the summer or really in any down time we have.   I recently found a very cool kit with these cardboard wheels that you use as a guide to make all sorts of really neat bracelets.   I thought this is super fun too and simple directions.   Last summer as one of my very first blog posts HERE I mentioned that we were knee deep in bracelet making at the beach.

CRAFTASTIC- FATHER'S DAY

I had been planning on doing an entire post dedicated to Father's Day ideas, but since time is slipping by...I thought I'd just share some of the 'Tip Junkie's' great homemade ideas.   We are working on finishing up our crafts today in time to celebrate our favorite daddy this weekend!

FOR THE HOME

I have been pinning tons of stripes in rooms lately and I guess I really want some in my house.  I think I'm sold on this idea for my daughter's bathroom that I truly despise right now.  We have not painted 1 wall since moving in 6 years ago this July.  Oh, wait, that's not true...my daughter and I painted her room last year.  Besides that though, not 1 wall has changed because when we moved in we were happy with the colors and I was soon expecting the rambunctious boy I now have and expected many dinged and chipped walls.  I think it's finally time to get rid of the peach bathroom (no offense to those of you who like peach) and bring in a more beachy feel to my daughter's bathroom.

FOR THE KIDDOS

A step by step guide to turn an ordinary sock into a teddy bear.  So cute.  I love up cycling too!   I think this is a great rainy day project for us this summer.  I'm hoping the past week's weather is no indication of our summer weather to come or we'll be making tons of sock animals...lol

GREAT TIP

No explanation necessary other than...who wouldn't want one?  I do not like putting the DEET sprays on myself or my children so this is perfect.

RECIPE

Oh my this is GOOD!  We had my in laws for dinner a few weeks ago and decided to grill outside (Mother Nature of course had to ruin it for us).... I digress.  We decided on grilled fish, grilled zucchini and this Fiesta Lime Rice.  SOOOO GOOD and SUPER simple.  We will definitely be making this one again...OFTEN!

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!

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!
