If you've been following along, you already know that my husband and I have two little boys, and might be wondering why I'm about to show you How to Make a Mermaid Crown. Well, this year, I got to pitch in for my niece's birthday and help make it extra special. You see, her and her brother's birthdays fall just over a week apart, so they've always shared a party. This year they each got their own. Theirs to choose the theme and help decide all the details. My niece chose a mermaid party.

Do-It Yourself Pineapple Shoes
Ever refer to yourself as big foot? Yea, me too! Welcome to the club, the one, we really wish we didn't belong to. We are the folks who dread shoe shopping because we will have a max of twelve shoes to choose from and there will be at least one duplicate in the mix. It's a sad, sad state of affairs, for anyone with feet that top the charts at the 11 and over sizes. This summer, I got fed up with the limited selection and decided to make my own Do-It Yourself Pineapple Shoes.

Pizza Painted Planter for Basil
So, you're all aware that my love of terra cotta planters is a real thing, but do you know how deep it goes? I want a pallet of planters to paint! Say that three times fast! Seriously though, just park a pallet right outside my back door, so when the urge strikes, I can just open my door and grab another pot. They're so easy to paint and decorate in multiple ways. This Pizza Painted Planter for Basil, for example, is such a cute addition to my window sill and all it took was a little bit of paint and a marker.

Taco Planter Gift Idea
So, I have a new obsession and it’s terra cotta planters. They’re right up there with joggers (as in the pants, I don’t run and don’t plan on it anytime soon) and this Hot Cheesy Spinach Dip. First of all, they’re super inexpensive and and can be decorated in every way imaginable. When I'm brainstorming craft ideas, I talk aloud to my husband. Ha! I say to him and not with him, because he's usually only halfway listening, however, when I suggested this Taco Planter Housewarming Gift idea his ears perked right up. I don't know if he was feeding off my…

Dad’s Cereal Bowl
I'm not sure about you guys, but do you have fend for yourself nights? Those night's when I haven't prepared dinner and time's up, everyone's hungry. Well, in our house these are fend for yourself nights. It basically means we're eating leftovers, or it's a peanut butter sandwiches or something else super easy, but I'm not putting in any effort and definitely not cooking. My husband's go to meal on fend for yourself night is usually cereal. So with Father's Day around the corner, I knew getting his own Dad's Cereal bowl would be a huge hit for him.

There is nothing better than a handmade craft from your child. They pour their little hearts into everything they do and want more than anything to please us.

This O'Fish'al Father's Day Card is no exception.

Make Your Own Guest Book Gallery Wall
I've been wanting to share this post with you guys for a while now. This Guest Book Gallery Wall is probably my absolute favorite craft that we've ever done in our home and it's all because I watch too much reality TV. If you are a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you may remember the episode when Yolanda painted the mini canvasses for her daughter. They hung a collage of them in her daughter's new apartment. I immediately thought what a cool idea and had to come up with my own version.

Bunny Binoculars
I have been saving empty toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls and egg cartons for sometime now. Not with any particular craft in mind, but knowing that they may come in handy, one day. I had two empty toilet paper rolls on the countertop, in our washroom, and my son instinctively grabbed these and put them up to his eyes and told me he could see me. We laughed together and played I see you, for the next few minutes. Since then, I've been thinking we really needed to make some binoculars and with Easter a few weeks away, Bunny Binoculars…
