Get Your #MorningEnergy with Honey Bunches of Oats New Flavors
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Honey Bunches of Oats for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. So I am not a huge fan of cereal for breakfast, it just doesn't seem as satisfying as something warm and home cooked, but let's be real I don't always have the time or energy to cook a hot breakfast in the morning. When I do eat cereal my most favorite ever is Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds! Recently Honey Bunches of Oats asked me if I wanted to try two of their new ... Read the Post

How to Create a Rustic Barn Wood Sign
School fundraising is in full force here in my neck of the woods. We had a school carnival a couple of weeks ago and just wrapped up a Bingo night at my son's school yesterday. The final push for fundraising is at my daughters preschool and it is a big time auction. As a parent I was given the choice of either soliciting donations from local businesses or contributing two baskets (or items) equivalent to the expected donations you would bring in ($30-$60). I am not one to call around and ask ... Read the Post
DIY Garden Stakes
My son's school has it's last (hopefully) fundraiser tonight and it is a fun one. They are doing a basket bingo event where each classroom is responsible for creating a defferent themed basket. Then as people win BINGO they are able to go choose a basket for their prize. Each classroom teacher got to pick their theme and my son's class theme was "garden". I was a little stumped at first, but then realized that this would be the perfect opportunity to make something bright and colorful to add a ... Read the Post

Four Layer Chocolate Ice Cream Cupcakes
My son might be the biggest chocoholic I know and so when we got started talking about what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his 8th birthday he was ready with detailed ideas! Last year I baked him a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and this year he wanted to go a few steps further. He decided that his cupcakes needed to be quadruple chocolate. How in the world do you end up with quadruple chocolate cupcakes I asked myself. Then I remember these cupcakes that I made for my daughter's ... Read the Post
DIY Tablet/Phone Stand
This project has been on my list forever! I am so excited to be crossing the first item off my 12 Pinterest Pins goal for 2014 so early in the year. I knew that I wanted to make one of these from the minute I first saw the one that Mamie Jane made. I was not willing to spend big bucks buying a cutting board and knew that if I was patient I would find one at a second hand store. Luck was on my side a few weeks ago when I found this beauty for only $0.50!!! It was the perfect size to fit my Note ... Read the Post
