How to Make a Shirt With Many Types of Vinyl: 100 Day of School Shirt

March 7, 2018 By McKenzie 1 Comment

It was the 100 day of school recently and we had to make a shirt with 100 of something on it. When I talked with my kindergartner, she instantly knew she wanted 100 hearts on her shirt! Instead of cutting and gluing 100 hearts on a shirt, I wanted to make a shirt that she could wear again and again… without totally wasting a shirt.

100 Day of School Shirt Idea

This shirt looks a lot more complicated to make than it actually was. Here is what I used to make the 100 day of school shirt… [Read more…]

Pumpkin Pie Bath Bomb Recipe

October 27, 2017 By McKenzie 1 Comment

It is the time of year when all things are pumpkin spice. I am actually not a fan of the taste of pumpkin spice, unless it is in the form of pumpkin bread or pumpkin cookies! I do, however, love the smell of pumpkin. That’s why I knew that October’s recipe needed to be a pumpkin pie bath bomb!

With a mixture of pumpkin pie spice and vanilla, you will be feeling like you are bathing in a big pie pan! To make your own, you need… [Read more…]

Natural Bedtime Baby Bath Soap

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser Gerber® Pure®. All opinions are mine alone. #GerberPureWater #CollectiveBias

I have been a longtime user of traditional baby products, but one day I turned the bottle over and noticed just how many ingredients were in the bedtime baby soap I was using. I wasn’t comfortable using that many ingredients on my baby. I used a variety of different natural products, but discovered that making your own is really easy and way more affordable! For feeding purposes, I use Gerber® Pure® Water to mix infant formula and cereal, because it’s water specifically purified for babies. Gerber® Pure® Water can be found at Walmart, in the water section. Inspired by Gerber® Pure® Water® and its simple and pure qualities, I wanted to also have a simple and pure soap option made specifically for babies so I decided to make my own!

To make your own, you only need four ingredients… [Read more…]

Pretty Big Bad Wolf Girl Costume

October 4, 2017 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

When my five year old saw the Pottery Barn Halloween catalog, she instantly fell in love with a deer costume. She mistakenly thought it was a wolf at first and that instantly inspired this year’s family Halloween costume theme of Red Riding Hood characters. But instead of being the Big Bad Wolf, we like to think of our wolf as the Pretty Nice Wolf.

This costume was incredibly easy to make. In fact, I was able to get it completely finished in less time than it takes for my 5 year old to go to kindergarten. It is a very close version of the Pottery Barn costume that she fell in love with, but I actually love the extra details we added to our costume a little more! The greatest part about it all is the fact that it is 100% no sew!

Red Riding Hood Family Halloween Costume

October 2, 2017 By McKenzie 2 Comments

It is FINALLY time for my favorite series of posts of the entire year! Our family Halloween costume! I had no idea that this would become such a tradition for me, but I look forward to creating themed costumes for my family each and every year. They still get excited about it too, but I dread the day that I have teenagers who won’t dress up in a theme with me anymore. This year, we decided to be Little Red Riding Hood characters!

The best part about all of these costumes is that they are all NO SEW! I have said it once, I will say it a million times… sewing makes me swear. I know I have been given some talents but sewing just is not one of them! So rest assured that any costumes you see on my site aren’t going to require a sewing machine. [Read more…]

Yarn and Eyeball Halloween Pumpkins

September 12, 2017 By McKenzie 1 Comment

I love creating my own Halloween decor! I am not a fan of scary Halloween decor and I’m not really a fan of overly cutsey Halloween decor either. It puts me in kind of a weird spot that is hard to find stuff that I really love. Luckily, I love Halloween crafting! I whipped up these yarn and eyeball pumpkins last week and I LOVE them something fierce. They took me no time at all and I just am a little obsessed with how they turned out!

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own… [Read more…]

Curls Gone Wild Shirt Design Download

August 30, 2017 By McKenzie 1 Comment

Having daughters that are 5 years apart makes it a little tricky when I want them to wear matching outfits. I have been lucky to find some really cute matching outfits, but sometimes my options are little to non existent. Thankfully, it is really easy to make matching shirts with iron on vinyl! That is exactly what I did when I made these adorable “Curls Gone Wild” shirts for my two curly haired little munchkins.

I love just how easy making custom shirts can be with just a little vinyl and my Silhouette machine. I whipped these out in less than an hour and you would never know that they were handmade! [Read more…]

Puppy Dog Pals Puppets Craft

If you have been here for a while, you already know that we are huge Disney Junior fans. I am thrilled to have Disney Junior sponsoring this post today! As soon as it was announced that there would be a new show on Disney Junior, we were excited. We set our TV to record and we watched Puppy Dog Pals right when it was released. We were instantly hooked and have watched every episode since! I have been trying to do fun activities this summer and thought it would be perfect to make fun paper bag puppets, inspired by our new favorite show! These Puppy Dog Pals puppets have been so fun to play with together and I even plan on bringing them for a long road trip we have coming up.

To make these, you will need… [Read more…]
