DIY Simple Oatmeal Canister Pampas Grass Vase

Being a maker means I’m always holding onto things. Good looking coffee cans? I’ll repurpose them in the shop. Toilet paper rolls? I’ll turn those puppies into binoculars before you can even bat an eye. We go through a LOT of oatmeal in this house between cookies, granola bars, and breakfasts, and those containers get used for a lot of storage. If you double them up, they also happen to be the perfect shape and height for a decorative vase of dried Pampas Grass.

DIY: Simple Monster Costume Sewing Tutorial

Halloween and costumes have never been my favorite. However, seeing the holiday through the eyes of my Two Year Old has been pretty fun this year. When we started asking him at the beginning of the month what he’d like to be for Halloween, he hesitated exactly 2 seconds before explaining he wanted to be a Yellow Monster. Where this conviction and idea came from, I’ve yet to discover, but, he had a clear vision in mind for a Yellow Monster Costume, and I was thrilled to help bring his vision to life.

One very special thing about our house, is it’s red front door. When my husband and I first started dating, and fantasizing about our future, we envisioned a cozy house, with lots of pillows and blankets, children, a garden, and a red front door.

DIY Baby Friendly Colored Popsicle Sticks

Keeping a kid cool, calm and collected at the Doctor’s Office is near impossible… at least, it is for us. Thankfully, one of the wonderful nurses in our office has a fool proof trick up her sleeve when it comes to distraction – a single tongue depressor.
