Toothbrush Storage

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a photo I took awhile ago of my kiddos toothbrush drawer. I took this one today, after I put each of the liner bins in the dishwasher to rid of toothpaste junk...and tada, a new clean drawer. Piece of cake and there isn't any arguing at bedtime!

How-To for Punches

If any of you punch a bunch, like me...then I'm sure you have a few punches that are dull and won't punch as cleanly as they did when you first purchased them. To resharpen your punches, all you need to do is grab a few pieces of tin foil and punch punch punch till you feel like your punches are clean. In the photo above, I've used waxed paper and punched until I felt like my circle punch would punch out a clean circle. Voila, it did!

Now go grab your inexpensive tools from your kitchen and clean your punches!

Mug Exchange with Stephany

I joined in yet another mug exchange with Stephany who blogs over at Our Hyder Home, previously known as The Midnight Hershey...

I've used them both several times over, thanks lady, you ROCK!!

if you's like to see the mug I mailed to Danielle, check out her blog post HERE.

Halloween Costumes

Halloween isn't here yet BUT I've dressed up twice and am fully enjoying this time of the year when I can 'pretend' with fun costumes and have date nights with my hubby. Now seriously, who doesn't like to dress up? Okay okay, don't be a Debbie Downer...there are hats and funny t-shirts that say "this IS my costume", so if you're not one for the full shebang, pick up something little and let the kid inside of you come out! Above all, have fun!

Orange Organza Fall Wreath

I've been so inspired by all the fun wreaths out there in internet lala land that I decided to make another to add to my fall/halloween decor. I picked up everything I needed at Joann's Fabric Store (only because Hobby Lobby was closed that day) and got to work cutting strips of organza.

I started off tying two dark, one light orange and so on...until I ran out of organza and there my wreath sat (for about two weeks, mind you) till I remembered to pick up two more rolls.

The black flower was in the dollar bin at Joann's and I picked it up, thinking it would be a fun addition to just pin onto the finished wreath. After fluffing and spinning the knots this way and that, so as to disguise them a bit, I hung this sweet little "fall" paper banner behind the wreath, with bakers twine.
