Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Artificial pumpkins are one of those craft items that you can do so many things with…carve, cover, paint, etc. The list really does go and on. Last year, I used some washi tape to decorate one for part of my Halloween decorations. This year, I decided to create some chalkboard paint pumpkins so my kids could decorate them over and over again between now and Halloween.

You know when you have one of those weeks where all the days are jumbled and you just can’t get a grip on your schedule? Yeah…every week in September has seriously been like that for me. So much so that this post for fall burlap baskets almost didn’t happen {it is happening late but at least happening}. I had bought all of the supplies but just couldn’t find the time to sit down and work on them…much less photograph them! Thankfully, I snagged a few hours to work on some projects this past weekend and the baskets came together.

September is always a funny month here. One day {yesterday} it still feels like summer with temperatures above 90 degrees. Then, the next {today} the temperature will top out in the 70s. It is really hard to feel like decorating for one season or another because you are constantly being thrown between two seasons. I didn’t let the hot weather stop me though from starting on my fall decorating. I used the heat as a reason to stay inside and test out my new hot glue gun instead creating my fall felt leaf wreath.

Gah…it is September! And our kids head back to school in like a day. How did that creep up so fast? Well, I saw fast but, if you are a “good” blogger, you probably started thinking about back to school in June…it is just what we tend to do. Then, there are the people like me who get so swamped with general life and wake up to realize school starts in a few days. You still want the cool ideas for your kids to celebrate back to school time but you just need stuff that takes a lot less time. Don’t worry…I’ve got your back.

July 4th decorating can be so fun! You just can’t get much better than red, white and blue! I had picked up one of the little wood packages from Pick Your Plum awhile back and used them to make these July 4th mini-firecrackers for the upcoming holiday.

I love entertaining! Holidays for me mean a time to get family and friends together and share a meal. Of course, for most holidays, I like to coordinate the food with the occasion. When thinking about food for July 4th, I wanted something fun that the kids could also help with.

You know I love a good wreath. Wreathes were one of the first crafts I ever made and I still love making them. From yarn to ribbon to paint, I am always up for making a new wreath.
For July 4th, I decided to start with ribbon for my wreath.
