Fourth of July Food!

Hello!  Is everyone ready for the 4th of July?  Last week I showed you some awesome decor and today I’m bringing you food.  Don’t worry there is still plenty of time to make these deliciously sweet treats for your party.

Some of these are healthy, others are not.  And the one drink does contain alcohol.  These are your forewarnings.  But other than that, enjoy!

Camping Round Up

Hello!  Is everyone out of school yet?  If so, hooray!  Time for Summer!  If not, I am so sorry.

One of the things my family does every year is go camping.  Mom even has two camping trips planned for this summer alone.  As I’ve gotten older, I haven’t enjoyed going as much.  But, I definitely enjoyed going as a kid and having fun at either the beach or the lake.  But I have put together a list of some things that you might enjoy for your next camping trip.

And at the end of the post, comment where your favorite place to go camping is.  Maybe I can check them out one day. 😉

Father’s Day Round Up

Hello!  How is everyone enjoying their summer so far?  Or are some of you still in school?  Sorry…I apologize.

Father’s Day is around the corner and if you are like me, I don’t have a gift for my dad yet.  So, as I was scouring the internet (aka Pinterest) for an awesome gift idea, I thought I would share some of my favorite ideas with you.

Enjoy!

How to Get Yourself Organized

Hello!  Before we get started, I must say that I feel completely unorganized while writing this post.  I have been working (slaving) over decor for a potluck that my work is having and kind of forgot about this…sorry.

But next week you will see how I decorated!

So here are some helpful tips on how to get organized.

Apparently I am not the only one who has absolutely no idea how to fold a fitted sheet.  Angela Says helps us all figure out how to properly fold that stupid sheet.

Man I wish that I had this much food in my fridge that it needed to be organized.  My fridge is just random sodas and leftover pizza and milk.  Lots of milk.  I also traveled through about 5 separate blog posts and don’t know where this picture came from.  Sorry.

More Yarn

Any yarn lovers out there like me?  Here’s an old blog post from us about how to organize your yarn supply.

THIS IS LITERALLY IN MY DAD’S GARAGE!  Mom saw this a while ago and showed my dad who built it.  It’s awesome! Her Tool Belt gives you the full DIY on this cool project!

I really like this mail organizer.  I would pick some different fabric than this, but DIY Projects tells us how we can make our own.

 

I wish this was my closet!  It is so clean and organized and looks super nice.  Just A Girl and Her Blog shows us how to organize our closets to make it perfect for us.

bookshelf

How cute is this bookshelf?  it can totally help organize your books or other knick knacks to show off.  Tara Michelle Interiors shows us how she built the perfect shelf for organizing.

I think this looks so pretty.  And I have a bunch of nail polish that I don’t use, so this would be perfect!  Also, the original source isn’t available anymore which is sad.

Do you ever have so much jewelry that you just don’t know what to do with it?  Why not hang it on a mirror?  Click here to see how we organized our jewelry!
