Our Wacky Weekend...

Our Wacky Weekend :)

So we had a great family weekend. Attended a new church, not quite sure if it is a fit for us so we will pray on it and see where we are meant to be :). Well our weekend started with an angry Wacky standing out in the driveway yelling for a taxi.. now we live in rural NC so the chances of one showing up are slim to none but it was funny to watch. Moved on to our 4 year old once again steeling the show by coming into our room at 10 pm (after we were asleep) and letting us know he was bored and wanted to play... umm no! The Saturday morning my hubby decided to play chef and cooked French Toast.. however after it was cooked and served I noticed that there were no eggs out. When I asked he said he used a new recipe without them LOL... he forgot them so our sons got pan toasted bread with butter and syrup...My boys finished breakfast and went into the backyard.. they were being quiet so I worried LOL and turns out they had made their own see saw with a 2x4 left over from the fence build... love my little creators. Then we went out to dinner that night and our astute children were in the bathroom when the Manager went into clean up some water (I am about 80 percent sure that my kids put it there) when they offered "for five bucks we will clean it up for you" the over generous manager agreed and my kiddos came out 10 dollars richer... it never gets boring here!!!

 Now on a different note February is fast approaching so I updated my scrappers white board (you can see how to make it in an earlier blog of mine). I only swapped out a few of them to make it still match the decor but I am happy with my hearts :). I got my cute fonts at 1001freefonts.com and I love them I get alot from there cuz I like free stuff  :).

Hi ho hi ho decorating I go

Soooo I love the idea of hanging my kiddos art and our fridge is anti magnet so I wanted to do something else. I have seen the master piece walls around and wanted to put my own spin on it...
I got some extra large clothes pins at A.C. Moore's and painted them black....

Added an Adhesive sticker on the back and attached them on the wall. I also got the Master peice vinyl wall word from etsy.com (as well as some others you can see below) but if you are lucky enough to own a Cricut you can make them :) I love it and think it is adorable and super easy to change out the art!!

Here are a few more I got off Etsy! 

 This one says... Happiness is taking a long hot bubble bath!

The scrappers white board

Happy New Year!!!... So we are here in North Carolina (finally) and almost settled in! This means I get to DECORATE YAY!! So I need a white board type object but hate how ugly they usually are. So I found on Pinterest(my personal haven) this neat collage frame this lady made for each day of the week you can see it HERE, now it wasn't what I needed but gave the the idea!!!

What you need:
A collage frame, I got mine at Target but you can get them any where... I love this one because it has the big circle in the middle and I thought it was adorable!!!!!

Get a bunch of Scrap Book paper that you like and will go with your decor :).

Now: Take the back off the frame because you need to make the scraps into the proper size to fit in the frames, this can be fun and tricky :). I downloaded a bunch of super cute free fonts to make my titles, but you can scrap them with stamps, stencils, stickers or about any thing you want. You want to put it directly on the paper itself and then into the frame... Re-attach the back and hang and wa-la!!! 

For my subject areas I used the following titles but feel free to use what ever you would like!!

In the large areas:

Menu

To Do (for our weekly activities)

Honey Do

Shopping List

The Medium Areas 

Birthdays

Etc

The best part is you can change them out and make them themed.. for February I will use Heart Paper and Valentine themed paper... now I wont change them all just a few.. and make sure you save your pages when you change them out to reuse them later :) XO!
