Creating A Pretty & Simple Life
So I think I accidentally married the Verizon guy who used to say, “Can you hear me now?” I say that because my husband constantly has to repeat himself. “Why?” you ask. Because of…SCARLETT! My lovely, sweet baby girl screams like a feral cat at a dental cleaning without anesthesia and now my hearing is on the fritz. For some reason, her intense high-pitched screams can only
I swear to goodness everyone in my family needs something at every minute of the day. I’m not complaining I’m just stating a fact. Scarlett has a very specific schedule (even for a 4 month old) that’s based on The Contented Little Baby system. Westley has his own schedule which includes nap-time, bubble-time, lego-time and of course feeding-time. (God forbid my husband is late making dinner, Westley let’s him
I don’t know about you, but I have a bunch of friends’ birthdays coming up this summer. That means I have quite a bit of wrapping to do. And I love wrapping gifts. (I’m my family’s go to wrapping gal during the holidays.) Well, this summer I decided to try my hand at some custom DIY wrapping to make my summertime gift giving a little special.
When I think of the summer I think of shimmery water and sparkly beaches. That got me in the mood for some sparkly, shimmery stationery. And with it being summertime, there’s a but more time to send the unexpected handwritten note. So tonight’s htgawcrafting project is DIY MINC Foil Stationery. I’ve been super eager to try out the new MINC mediums and products. And after watching
I’ve been a planner gal for as long as I can remember. To this day, my favorite is still my high school issued planner. It met my needs perfectly. It was compact, had an ideal layout, and was fabulously colorful. Now as a mama to two under two who’s running her own business, my planner needs have drastically changed. So I’ve been on the hunt for the
Happy National Pink Day! This is like a major holiday for Pinkimono, cause I mean…duh! It’s all about PINK! In the spirit of this colorful holiday, I thought tonight’s HTGAWC project should be all pink, but still simple. And between Target and Heidi Swapp, I have a super simple project for busy, hard working, pink-loving gals like me who adore sparkly office accessories. Tonight we’re adding some glam to
So if you can’t tell by now, I’m totally obsessed with my MINC Foil Applicator. I just love how I can make something simple and then GLAM it up in a few minutes with foil! It’s also a great tool to revitalizing something that’s gotten boring with a little sparkle and without spending a ton of money! Recently I’ve gotten a little bored with my Kate Spade planner.
I know I’m not the only parent out there to say this, “I’m tired of cleaning up baby poop!” With two under two and I feel like all I do is feed kids and clean up their crap – literally!! Oh, do I wish I had an easy trick to free parents of the bondage of dirty diapers, but I don’t. This is one battle
Last week the htgawcrafting challenge took us back to 80’s for a few beats. We made a baby headband with bows using the MINC Foil Applicator (my favorite crafting tool). The bows had a bit of an 80’s-esque feel. Well for our challenge this week I decided to dip back to another fun decade – the 90’s. This week’s challenge is Clueless pens. I think
Today Scarlett is one month old and it has been an amazing 30 days. Now that we have a little girl and a little boy, there are so many changes in our house. One thing that hasn’t changed though is their wardrobe. That’s right. This pink loving mama saves her pennies by dressing her little girl in her son’s old onesies. I know that seems 100%
