This year, we found out each teacher's favorite colors and made candle holders from terracotta pots. My girls LOVE to paint, so this was really fun for them. We also asked for our teacher's favorite fragrances and. Purchased candles for their new holders. We started with some small terracotta pots, patio paint,. Show yours...

As Spring began to bloom and stores began to display pretty new sets, in the back of my mind I was shopping for something new. But the practical side of me told me that even if a makeover project was a little bit expensive, it wasn't going to be more than the price of something new. I'd need to get over my fear. Thank you, Mr. Summers! When the glue was dry, I added the grout&...

The last thing my girls need are more toys or stuffed animals. I mean have you seen their beds? Maybe you haven't, but trust me on this. They don't need more stuff! But I didn't want it to be all candy, either. They have enough of that, too. This year I did something a little different. I was told it was the best Easter Basket ever. By my almost 10-year-old. My chi...

JeNNspeak: Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13. Saturday, April 4, 2015. Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt. Gran mailed the girls the pieces to make their Easter Baskets. They painted faces on wooden bunny cutouts. We cut the tops off empty milk cartons and glued the wooden pieces to make these baskets. It was going to be hard to top last year's Best Easter Basket Ever. So why mess with a good thing? I created more coupons for their baskets, but this year, I added a little twist.

If you've been on Pinterest, you've probably seen many variations of Bottle Cap Wind Chimes. That's where I first saw one and I fell in love with the idea. Then I saw one at Hobby Lobby. But why buy one at Hobby Lobby when it's so much more fun to make one? I used a drill to make two holes on opposite. Sides of each cap. I took apart a necklace like this one to add beads and bits.

She had a Peacock theme, and we decorated in blue, green and peacock feathers. She didn't want cake, so I made a big Chocolate Chip Cookie Peacock "Cake" for her. For a party craft, we made Curly Birds from Spoonful. For instructions on making these paper birds. The one thing I ask of the Lord - the thing I seek most - is to...

A few years ago a neighbor down the street put up a Topsy Turvy Planter, and I have wanted to make one since. Then they started popping up on Pinterest, and each time I would tell myself that this is something I MUST do. And now I have. For the most part, I followed these instructions. You ask, did you get those pots on that shepherd's hook? JeNNspeak : Play Loud the Radio.

A month before school finished, my 3rd grader informed me she needed to take an empty egg carton to school. Knowing that I buy the larger cartons that hold 18 eggs, she told me she needed her carton to be just a dozen. Even though I didn't really need them at the time, I purchased a dozen eggs on my next trip to the grocery store. Don't worry, we ate them before any had time to spoil. I love God. I love m...

We made not long ago, and I thought it might be fun to make a Turkey Wreath for Thanksgiving. To make our wreath, we purchased a small grapevine wreath and some feathers. The rest of the materials I had at home, some pipe cleaner, a brown sock, pom-pom, stuffing, felt and a pilgrim hat. We used more pipe cleaners to make feet. JeNNspeak : Play Loud the Radio.

This year, we got some good snow! It started with a layer of ice, then a layer of snow with perfect conditions for some great sledding. The cold temperatures kept the snow around for longer than usual, so we got to enjoy sledding every day for the better part of a week. We found this idea on Pinterest. That I'd told myself I needed to r...
