Thursday: Family Inspiration Fun Day



Well the school year is coming to an end! I always tried to find something to make for the kids teachers it is fun for me and the kids! I haven't decided what craft I would like to do yet! But while I was searching I found some really cute ideas I'd thought I'd share. It has to be fun this time of year to be a teacher.. All the cool gifts they receive from students and not to mention the summer vacation ahead... I think I am leaning towards the colored pencil flower arrangement idea!(So cute)

Tuesday: What you can get for under 25$ day





I missed blogging yesterday because we had some issues with our Internet services... So today Is a mix of what I was going to talk about yesterday and it ties into today's topic also. I normally like to talk about inspiration on Monday because it's after a long weekend, church, family time etc... This weekend made me think about this book. I have a few years before I will go through teenage years with my kids. Its a very difficult time for some families, this is when the changes start to occur and the kids start to rebel a little or a lot because they want to be able to do whatever they want without being told what to do. This is also the time when the adult reminds themselves of some bad mistakes they had made and try to prevent there child from doing those same things. THIS causes some very serious conflicts and communication is the key when dealing with those kind of issues. You want to be able to connect with your child while there searching for themselves and dealing with some uneasy situations. I found this book at my local store a few weeks back and thought this would be a great gift to give to your daughter before middle school or right before high school so that you guys are able to communicate and hopefully have a easy transition during those teenage years. Here's some info about the book.....ONLY 16.00$

This book is a fun, fresh journal to help other moms and daughters get to know each other in a whole new way. Advice and thoughtful writing prompts pave the way to discussing everything from friends and school to crushes and growing up. Also includes pages for drawing pictures, making lists and plenty of free space for writing about whatever comes to mind. With perspectives from both generations this one-of-a-kind journal is sure to become a keepsake for any mother-daughter pair. Ages 10 and up.

Thursday: Family Inspiration Fun Day




Its becoming a trend that I end up writing about cute treats I would like to make with the kids or something I have already done.. So I think Thursday's theme will be Fun Treat Day... Since it is Strawberry Season and it is Picnic Season and a few Summer Parties are in the mix. I found these yummy, cute and fun strawberry snacks you can make with the kids. I think they will be so cute to decorate any table.. Move over Chocolate covered strawberries .. hello sparkle strawberries.. Just think of 4Th of July with red, white and blue strawberries or a cute picnic with rainbow colored strawberries.. I can go on with the endless color selections you can do with these and not to mention it's a healthy choice! Here's how you make them...

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

1 pint fresh strawberries

1/4 cup colored sugar

4 ounces softened cream cheese

2 teaspoons confectioners sugar

4 teaspoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wash the whole berries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fill a shallow bowl with colored sugar (you can buy this at the grocery store or mix your own by stirring two drops of food coloring into 1/4 cup of sugar).

In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla extract with a fork until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Holding the berries by their stems, your kids can dip them into the cream cheese mixture, roll them in the sugar, and enjoy.

Monday: Inspiration Day " Vision Boards"



I love this Vision board it's gorgeous!


I have been busy getting things in order so that one day I can be successful in my career! I hear a lot about making vision boards and a lot of people saying good things have come their way! I have made my own career vision board with pictures I have found on the Internet! I have added a few sayings in each of my photos to make it more real for me! So I encourage you to make your own vision board. I believe I have truly found my passion in Life and I am excited about my future adventures. I love being creative and I just love cute things... There are so many things I can see myself doing.. I could see myself writing a children's book, being a event planner, owning my own children's boutique, making cute girl clothes and so on... If you can see I love using my creative mind and my God Given Talent! It took me years before I finally figured this out but all alone it was right their in front of my face.. When I was a child I used to always find myself trying to invent some kind of business, lemonade stand, friendship bracelet business etc. When I was a teenager I loved to draw fashion clothing and make up cute stories... All alone my talents were there and I was using them but not really tapping in to them. So I encourage anyone who is reading this post to really sit down and think about what comes natural to you? What do you love? What gets you excited? God has given each of us talents, some have more than 1 others only 1 but whatever it is it was meant for you and is waiting for you to discover it!

One of my favorite things that I discovered over 4 years ago( at shutterfly) are these cute photo books. These are great for keeping holiday memories, school photos of your kids and family trips.

Wednesday: Fashion Day





Sorry about the photo.. But if you would like to see a better one visit Hannah Anderson Online..

I found this cute Pillow Case Dress at Hannah Anderson. They have several color selections for you to choose from.. I love these pillow case dresses because there so girly with the little bows to tie on the sleeves. You can also wear these kind of dresses all year round adding a log sleeve coordinating top underneath for fall or when it gets to short to be a dress it can be a cute top with jeans.. I love how these dresses can be so versatile and last for a very long time for your growing little girl(s). We have a cute hair bow to match the brown and pink pillow case dress. Our glamour girl boutique bow only 6.50 layered with browns and pink and pretty pink tulle. You can pair our bows with our headbands or hats also. Hope you enjoy:)

Tuesday: Who loves going on a picnic..



I truly love going somewhere nice for a picnic with the kids. This is one of those things you can do with your kids without spending any money.(FREE) Pack sandwiches,juice, fruit salad and of course a special treat. Take some sidewalk chalk, balls, bubbles and a nice big blanket. I also recommend taking a large umbrella to block the sun from the little ones. To go along with the theme of picnics I found this cute birthday party idea. As you can see this is a picnic theme birthday for a child. How cute is the little mini picnic basket for a favor. You can find mini baskets like this for only 2.00 at a wedding favor shop(online). Great for summer birthdays:)..
