Good morning, time for school










Modeling their clothing choice for the day. Gav changed his shirt about 4 times and A had to have her leg warmers. Its nice to tell the kids to get dressed and they always put a smile on my face

First Grade!

Gavin started school yesterday. I still can't believe kindergarten is and now he is starting 1st grade. Everything is so different too. They play with the rest of the school and instead of dropping him off at his classroom, he lines up on the blacktop when the bell rings and they walk with their teacher to class. My jaw dropped when she told me that, but Mrs. Guerrero (teacher) said it was ok for us to wait with him in line. Thank goodness. Gav enjoyed being on the bigger playground too!

Homemade Coasters

Fun and great diy gift or for the home. I made these coasters as part of Darcie and Eddie's wedding gift. Super easy to do but you must give yourself a few days to complete do to drying time. Going to make more for us and then as a favor for a Send off wedding party!




I printed the pictures on regular paper and glued the pictures on tile (0.16 at Home Depot) with mod podge. After it dries, add 3 layers of mod podge but let each layer dry before the next is applied. Use a sponge applicator because mod podge does show lines. I sealed the coasters with 2 layers of ultra cover clear sealer (this one is water based) but you can use acrylic clear sealer as well (which I would have chosen but Home Depot was out). Must do project with fabric, drawings, anything
