Pinterest

I am totally about to go all 'sales lady' on you guys... but its worth it!

Have you heard of Pinterest? I just found out about it and I LOVE it!
I have folder upon folders of DIY ideas, recipes, crafts to copy... and this website makes it so I can save ALL of those ideas online. try it! 

All you do is save the button to your tool bar, and when you come upon an idea that you want to save, click the 'pin it' button, choose the category or "board" you want to put it into on your page, and it saves it to your account! no copying and pasting, no site hopping to find that cute idea you saw yesterday, it's all in one place, and takes up no space on your computer!  It's SO fun! go check out mine here.

You need an invite to join, so you can either send them a request for one, or leave me your email and I can send you an invitation which is much faster!

And if you already have an account, let me know! I want to follow YOU!

here are some of my 'pins' so far...

 

Tot School Ideas

I have been attempting to do Tot School with Katelyn each day. I have always wanted to do something with my children to help teach them. I got the idea from following several blogs, but mostly from three amazing ladies who have so many ideas. All three of them have been either kindergarten or first grade teachers so I know that their 'curriculum' is age appropriate and educational. First off is 1+1+1=1. She has such brilliant ideas and tons of free printables and suggestions. I am so excited to start using her ABC weekly lesson ideas for Katelyn.


I also follow Alison from Oopsey Daisy. She has great ideas and also does her version of mommy school with her 2 year old little boy. This last week she offered a new themed packet that I am so excited to use with Katelyn.



And finally for more great {free} printables and ideas you can visit Michelle of Musings of Me. She has so many adorable themed Tot School printables - they are wonderful! I have used several of hers and we have enjoyed them.

Beaded Watch Bands

So you know the watch bands that look like this

Well, did you know that they are SUPER easy to make!? they are a little time cosuming, but Shaunie and I have done girls night and made a BUNCH of them!

Trust me, you'll never pay $35 for one of these watches again!!

My new favorite cooking blog!

I came across this cooking blog today and spent FOREVER looking through all the recipes! they all looks SO yummy, and they were things my family would eat! It's 5 sisters that post all the recipes and they have great ideas! Here are a few i want to try (trust me, it was HARD to narrow it down!!)

cranberry pork roast

sweet bbq chicken kabobs

lemon blueberry yogurt bread

creamy lemon chicken

chicken quinoa soup

cranberry scones

color

i am ALWAYS searching for color palates that i like. I have tons of blog headers saved to my computer just because i like the color scheme! So i was in love with this site when i found it! It has tons of palates to choose from, and it just gives you the hex code so you can use it on photoshop (or whatever you use).
anyways, i hope all you color junkies love this as much as i do!
