The Honest Company

April 15, 2013 2 Comments

Creating an eco-friendly household for my family has always been a priority for me. I strive to make our home a safe and healthy environment to raise my children in by using as many natural products as possible to help protect their developing bodies. I have used natural cleaning products in my home for years but I admit, I haven't used as many natural bath products as I'd like. Recently I ordered several products from The Honest Company for our bathroom. In case you haven't heard of The Honest … [Continue reading]

Happy Friday, my friends! I'm feeling especially giddy about this weekend because we are headed on a little family vacation before my four day trip to Utah. You can follow along my adventures on instagram! Before I leave for the next 8 days I wanted to sneak in a little gardening and spruce up the porch. I liked my porch so much last year that I knew I had to do the same this Spring. The first part of my Spring porch update was to make a Moss Clay Pot to hold bright and colorful flowers … [Continue reading]

Last week was Spring break for us. I took a small step back from the blog and all that it entails to really make the most of our week off. It was just what this momma's heart needed! Due to a major fail on my part (I planned a family trip and didn't realize until the day before that the location has actually been closed for months while its being relocated), we made the most of it with a staycation. All week long we spent our days at the local zoo, arcade, and crafting a new project every day. … [Continue reading]

Daisy Flower Paper Clips

Today I have another fabric flower tutorial to share with you. It's similar to the fabric flowers I made a few weeks ago, but this time around I used them to make paper clips. These daisy flower paper clips are perfect for your home office or for keeping your kid's homework together. As I began writing this post I realized I never finished my project with the big fabric flowers, mainly because I wasn't a fan of the direction it was going.

Photography Backdrops {Very Jane Giveaway}

A common question I get is what do I use as a photography backdrop. For over a year now I've used different colors of scrapbook paper that look like wood. They've been great to photograph small crafts on, but sometimes my projects require a larger surface. This is where my new photography backdrop from Very Jane comes in (stay tune because you'll have a chance to win a backdrop of your choice too). Very Jane is a daily deal site that offers a large variety of trendy items for … [Continue reading]

Chocolate Coconut Nests

Every year, the week leading up to Easter I make chocolate coconut nests for the kids. They love these little treats and its become tradition that I make them. To be honest I think I make them more for me because these coconut nests are SO good. They remind me of Mounds candy bars and the best part is they only require two ingredients! I shared this easy chocolate coconut nests recipe two years ago but I have since revamped the technique and thought I would re-share. This time … [Continue reading]
