SENSORY BOXES WITHOUT THE MESS

Who would have thought a simple box can keep those tiny little things in place??!  Ms. S loves playing with sensory boxes but OMG, the mess!!! It used to drive me crazy! 

DIY LEATHER PULLS

I've been seeing these leather pulls all over Pinterest and I just had to do it.  Initially, I made my 11x11 cube boxes from H&M into 5.5x11 boxes.  But I felt it was too plain and the girls were having a hard time pulling it out from the shelves.  I got myself some leather strips, hardware and...

DIY CARDBOARD GUITAR STAND

My husband got the LO her very first guitar and she loves it.  She carries it around the house and pretends to be like daddy.  But it is driving me crazy as to where to put it.  And so, I made a guitar cardboard stand.  Yes, crazy.  But, I did. 

HOW TO PACK BABY CLOTHES USIING ZIPLOCK BAGS

 It is common knowledge among my friends that when I travel, I travel light. I once traveled with a back pack for a 3 day weekend.  Now, however, that we have a toddler, packing has taken a new meaning.  It now means check in baggage, mixed up clothing and looking for things in a haystack.  On our first family trip, I over packed.  Half of our check in luggage was LO's; and her clothes are tiny compared to my clothes and my husband's.

SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT PLANNER

It's December and the year is almost over! That means it is time for me to search for the perfect planner.  I'm a "paper" kind of person, I write everything and a planner keeps me organized.  I tried several times to go digital but after a few weeks, I would end up getting a planner.  So this year, I'm starting the year right by getting the perfect planner.  I'm not loyal to a specific planner; I think I haven't really found the planner that actually works with my needs.  I have tried a LOT of planners in the past.  I've had a planner since high school and every year, I had a different one each year.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE EXTRA PASTA SAUCE

For those who know me, they will vouch that I don't have a lot of cooking experience.  That being said, I don't know any shortcuts when it comes to prepping or cooking.  One of my go to food is pasta in a jar;  not the healthiest but it's easy to make and quick.  My friend Cita thought me the coolest trick in storing pasta sauce.

 

STORING BABY CLOTHES

The LO is now 9 months! How time flies... Today, I organized her old clothes to put in storage.  This is an underbed storage box where I put her clothes as she outgrows them.  Not exactly organized.
