I love decorating for the 4th of July especially if I’m having a party. Who am I kidding, I don’t have to have a party to make cute decorations, especially using the colors red, white, and blue. You only need a few inexpensive supplies for this patriotic 4th of July party decor.
I have been making this family favorite Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole for over 10 years and my family can’t get enough of it. It’s a fast and easy way to get that Chicken Cordon Bleu taste without all the work. Everyone I have ever shared this recipe with has loved it and added it to their dinner rotation. I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.
I love being able to decorate my home the way I want without spending a lot of money. I had been wanting a rope mirror for a long time but couldn’t justify the expense. I knew I could make it cheaper and still have the look I was going for. I’m really happy with how it turned out.
I’ve been wanting to make drop cloth porch curtains for this side of my porch for a few years. Why does it take me so long to get around to some things? I love that I always have projects to do but I hate that it takes me so long to get to some of them. Anyway!
We take a lot of 2-3 day trips during the Spring and Summer. With hubby working out of town it’s usually all we can squeeze in. It’s a lot of fun but the packing and unpacking can be taxing. My kids are old enough to pack for themselves but I was constantly having to remind them of everything to include. I finally got smart and made a kid packing list printable for them. I printed one out for each kid and placed it in a sheet protector, that way it can be used over and over again and wiped clean between trips. Just use a dry erase marker so it will wipe off easily.
I was at a new store a couple weeks ago and I really loved the simplicity and beauty of one of the centerpieces. I love fresh flowers and usually have them at least somewhere in my house, but keeping them fresh and looking great on the dinner table was a problem. I was having to change them too often. This easy floral centerpiece isn’t real but it looks pretty great and I don’t have to worry about changing it until I want too. The best part of this centerpiece is you need a variety of flowers and glass containers so you can just use what you have available.
I’ve been wanting to make fun pillows in bright colors and fun patterns for a while. I finally had an excuse to and couldn’t wait to share this magic pillowcase tutorial with you. I’m not much of a seamstress beyond sewing class in school and a few pillow covers and curtains for my home. It looks like it could be complicated but it’s actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
We actually made this rock tic tac toe game a few years ago for Father’s Day. It sits on our front porch and still gets played a lot during the warmer months. When Ammon was younger he loved playing tic tac toe with his dad so I thought an outdoor version would be a fun idea. The best thing about this project is it cost $1 and a few pennies.
We love camping as a family. There is something so relaxing and freeing just being in nature and being away from everyday responsibilities. The problem is there’s activities each one of us want to do but we have a hard time getting to all of them. So this time while planning our camping trip we decided to make a camping fun bucket list. We’re going to be staying at a campground and we know what activities are available so we based our bucket list on those activities.
These Pom Pom Flowers are a fun addition to your Spring and Summer decor. They would also look cute in a girls bedroom year round. I choose to make mine in a variety of colors for Spring, but they would look beautiful in just one color or a couple colors to match your room’s decor.
