Coconut Oil Play Dough

All I have to say is coconut oil!

I was looking at different play dough recipes that looked easy, I had all of the ingredients and had good reviews. 

I stumbled upon a couple recipes that used coconut oil and I immediately decided whatever recipe I used it would have coconut oil in it. We love coconut oil over at our house. My husband enjoys poking fun at me- I'm alway suggesting coconut oil to cure everything! 

This one was fast and easy and my little ones were excited to help! I combined a couple of recipes and came up with this:

Fabulous Fabric Circle Art for under $5

We recently painted our whole house as we are preparing to sale it.

So now I've been a bit hesitant to put a bunch of nail holes in the walls again.

I knew we needed to do something to warm up the rooms, but wanted to keep it lightweight to avoid large holes.

Looking for inspiration I loved simple yet colorful shapes hung in clusters!

This project is easy and cheap.  I just gathered up different patterned fabric from my fabric collection.

Kitchen Counter Makeover

This past weekend we have been making some BIG changes in our kitchen!

We were wanting to spruce up our old out dated counters. After getting an estimate for new laminate countertops with installation for just over $700, we said 'thanks, but no thanks!'.

We decided on trying Rustoleum's Countertop Transformation Kit. The kit we bought was for 30 sq feet, found on ebay for $150 with free shipping. 

Our counters were an off white laminate that was chipped and scratched.
