Quick Craft: Our Easter Gifts

This year instead of spending a ton of money on a bundle of flowers for each mom and grandma in the family...we have many different mom's and grandma's. We decided to grow and make our own. A handcrafted gift made with love is the best type of gift.

Quick Easter Planter/Hostess Gift

10 Minute Craft

What you need:

Empty Baby Food Jar

Ribbon

Brown Twine

Rocks

Soil

Seeds or Small Flower

1. Tie Ribbon and Twine around Empty Baby Food Jar.

 I tied them into one knot together than tied the ribbon into a knot over the original knot. Then made sure my twine was cut long enough that I could tie it into a bow over ribbon knot. Trim Ribbon if needed once tied an in place.

2.Add rocks to bottom of jar for soil drainage (just enough so soil is not resting on bottom of jar) and add soil & seeds or plant.

 I had already pre planted flowers in my Jiffy Green House Planter. I cut out the desired number of plants, then tore the side to make the flower start fit into the baby food jar. 

3. Add top soil, either over seeds of around edges of pre planted bio degradable pot, and water 

(I also fertilize)

Stay Crafty and Happy Easter~

Raising The Wild: Joys Of Motherhood

The joys of motherhood have very many ups and downs and I am lucky to have not pulled ALL my hair out by now......but they are OH SO worth it! One minute your kids are sharing and the next they are fighting....and then whining...then crying...tattle telling...arguing...pouting....throwing themselves on the floor...screaming...hitting...and yes even spitting!....and then friends again. 

Though sometimes things can be hard their....."less favorable" moments are way over shined by their adorable, sweet, kind, loving, charishable moments. That's why they are made to look SO cute! Most of my boys' moments of bad judgment are now (looking back) laughable times...."remember when...." Even though at that moment I have no idea what to do with my children. Sometimes they ABSOLUTELY astonish me with what they come up with or DO! During these moments you better know how to think fast and keep a straight face because if for one second they sense fear, humor, or doubt...they'll eat you ALIVE! LOL! 

They ARE wild animals sometimes! 

Feel free to enjoy some of our children's cute moments and....we'll just keep with the flow and say "NOT" so cute moments. ENJOY!

Brooklyn is the only sweet, innocent, immobile one! So far...so good!

Enjoy your loves~

Bradley: A Trend Setter

This last week Bradley has begun to dress himself. At first our 4 (and 1/2 Bradley says) didn't exactly understand what "color coordinating" meant. But he has started to figure it out. And it is very nice that he can go into his room and dress himself now....we're still working on NOT getting all the clothes out and trying them all on (makes a HUGE mess) but we'll get there. Our first born is growing up! :)

One less thing on this mommy's daily list of "To-Do's"~
