Valentine's Decor

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I would share what we have up around the house! I had fun creating most of it myself!

This heart wreath is probably my favorite.  There are multiple tutorials floating around Pinterest and I wanted to give it a try. It was supah easy!!!

This garland was also very easy! I used my new Martha Stewart heart punch with some yummy My Mind's Eye papers.  Then I strung them together with embroidery floss and hung it on the old window.

I used the same method as the heart to make these "puffs."  The candle holders were actually from a thrift store and really yucky looking.  I just painted them white!

This is our mantel right now....very simple and plain.  The print on the left can be found at one of my favorite blogs: eighteen25 . This old window is one I found while out junking with my friend Janet!  It had broken panes so I took out all the glass, sanded a lot and painted it white.  Then I backed it with some burlap!

Hope to be back soon with some other Valentine things we have been doing!!!

April Photo a Day Take 2

April 16th
Kennedy had a soccer game - hence the soccer shirt and headband! She loves to hold Quinn!!


April 15th
I went junking with Janet for the first time! I was truly amazed at the items that people were just tossing out!!!! We filled the truck three times!!!! This item was deserving of a photo - we have no idea what it is!! It was a box on a table. The box had a hole through it with straps inside the hole. And the purple stuff...those are plastic flowers hot glued all over both sides. Any guesses what it is?!

Major coupon printing and organizing this day!


April 13th
Kennedy has been determined to learn how to ride her bike with no training wheels!!! For two days we went to Mema's and Papa's to practice in the grass and on their long, flat driveway. She worked so hard and would get so frustrated! She is stubborn though and would get back up after falling and try again! I had to force her to take breaks for water! After 2 days we took her to a school parking lot near us. She is now riding around like a pro!!! You can expect more bike photos soon!

April 12th
I just love what Quinn has been doing with her hands recently!! Isn't it cute?!

April 11th
Kennedy is truly the best helper! Here she is trying to give Quinn some Puffs. Quinn wants nothing to do with them! She makes a scrunched up face and spits them out!
April 10th
Our trip back from a weekend in Iowa. Both girls are wonderful travelers!!

April 9th
Happy 1st birthday Marin!!! We went to Iowa to celebrate my brother's daughter's big day. She is such a doll! And her momma made the cake herself!
