DIY Suncatchers with Glass Beads Glass bead suncatchers are so colourful and cheerful! Hang them in the window and they brighten up the room as the sun shines through the colourful beads. We got all the supplies for these suncatchers at the dollar store, so they’re also really inexpensive to make! Just make sure you use clear glue, not white glue, because not all white glue dries clear. (I tried white glue for this craft the first time around and learned that the hard way!...

Homemade Fudgesicles These homemade fudgesicles are perfectly flavoured, super fast to put together, and best of all: it’s less than $2 for a big batch of homemade fudgesicles! I made these homemade fudgesicles yesterday and we’ve already eaten half the batch. My 9 year old loves them! She had one this morning at 7am as her pre-breakfast snack while she was watching TV. Normally my kids drink milk first thing in the morning, and these are made with lots of milk, so I don’t feel too bad....

I also had no idea you could use a food processor to turn nuts into butter. The thought had never even crossed my mind, but you know what? It’s really pretty easy! I probably don’t need as many pictures as I’ve added to this post, but looking through them again my mouth is watering. (Mmmmmmm…. Nutella!) So I thought you might enjoy seeing them too.

The full, printable recipe is at the bottom of this post! The biggest trouble I have with homemade bubble recipes is that I can’t seem to find unconcentrated dish soap. Every dish soap I see on the store shelves is either “Ultra” or “Concentrated” which makes it really difficult to figure out how much you need to use compared to the unconcentrated dish soap. That and so many of the recipes I see online use mysterious ingredients that I’d have to order online....

Have you noticed that indoor plants are all the rage right now? I don’t think I owned a single indoor plant until a few years ago and now I can’t get enough. I love how they instantly refresh any space. My only issue is that I have a black thumb. I can’t keep my plants alive. Even succulents, that are supposed to be super tough, die on my watch. It really is kinda sad how pathetic my gardening skills are....

I know you tend to see parties set up on a table against a wall, but I didn’t have room for anything like that, so I just set everything out on our kitchen counter and I was really happy with how it looked! I made 10 tissue paper pom poms, 2 red, 2 orange, 2 yellow, 2 green and 2 blue and hung them from the ceiling (using scotch tape) above the counter:...

I love the dollar store. I know I’ve said it before but my love for the dollar store never gets old. I’ve done so many projects with things from the Dollar Tree like my DIY night light that I still love. So, when I’m browsing the aisles and find a new product, I tend to go crazy with ideas! When I came across these bags of smooth stones, I was so excited....

I always breathe a little sigh of relief once my kids are back in school. I really love having them around during the summer, and it’s fun to spend our days out having adventures, visiting the park or the splash pad, and generally relaxing. But it also makes it much harder to keep up on all of my goals and projects. During the summer, it seems like the house is always a little messier, our meals are a little more slapdash, and I can never seem to keep up with my inbox....

When I was walking my 5 year old to school this morning there were fresh bunny footprints on the sidewalk that we were following. I was so tempted to tell her they were the Easter Bunny’s footprints. But I didn’t, because somehow in my mind, the Easter Bunny is supposed to be at least 5 feet tall and the footprints looked too small. Do you picture the Easter Bunny as human sized?...
