Ridiculous Recipes

So, I haven't technically tried this one, but a very good source said it is awesome! I just need to go buy some steak and we will be in business.

This Just Pinned

When I posted about our bathroom a few days ago, I added this picture to the post.

One of the first things I ever pinned was this. I fell in love with these fun soap dispensers right away. I even spray painted the lids to match my decor. The greatest part is that I used the pumps from my bottles of Bath and Body Works soaps I have stocked up.

 

My mom and I even made a few for her to take home when she was here. They are so cute and inexpensive you could make one for everyone you know!

It's My Birthday!

Happy birthday to me! Today I turn 29. Eeeeek! I am pretty scared of 30, not gonna lie.

I found this print the other day and have it currently printing at Sam's Club for my front room. Love the colors and especially LOVE the quote!

So go make it a good day. As a birthday gift to me!

Ruffly Skirt

This was the best picture I could get of Tana in her new skirt. This skirt was sew simple and sew cute! (sorry I couldn't help myself!) I bought the material at Hobby Lobby for only $4 a yard AND I was able to make five skirts out of that yard. FIVE! 

I followed this tutorial, but I know there are about a million others out there. I love that there is nothing to hem. Just a couple stitches and you are done.

Now to make one in my size!

Growth Chart

Growing up in California, my parents had a closet that is marked to the high heavens with all of our heights over the years. It even has markings for a few kids my mom did daycare for. I love looking in that closet. So much so, that if my parents ever move they will need to cut it out and take it with them.

I know I have mentioned several times that we have moved a lot. Eleven times in ten years, a lot. So marking up some door frame just wouldn't make any sense. Everything I make needs to be portable!

This was so easy. My sister and I got together one day back when we lived in Utah. I had the good people at Home Depot cut the 2x6 for me. We painted them to match our kids' rooms, marked out our spaces, and then slapped on some vinyl. If you don't have a Cricut or Silhouette to cut the vinyl it will be more time consuming.

The only change I would make would be to add a hanging thing to the back, so I could hang it from the wall. I have Tana's sitting on the floor and it occasionally gets knocked over. But if I were to hang it now I would have to adjust all the vinyl pieces. I am a little too lazy for that!

There are so many different growth charts out there now, so you can do a quick Google search and find a ton of pictures! My new favorite is the stained wood one that looks all vintage. Way cute!

Ridiculous Recipes

Yumm-o!

I made this recipe a few weeks ago when we had the missionaries over for dinner. I omitted the extra fancy stuff and kept it basic. 

It was good! SO VERY GOOD! And easy. I promise you will not be disappointed.

PS My best friend is scheduled to have her first baby girl today. Yea!!!

This Just Pinned

If you haven't already seen this pin, it is everywhere! I made the super easy, and super inexpensive cleaner last week and tried it out on my bathtubs.

 

And it worked! No scrubbing at all. Just watch all that nasty go down the drain.
