Easter art project

Spray some shaving cream and add paint, swirl it around and add some paper and you've got marbleized paper! Brayden had fun getting messy. We used the paper to make homemade Easter cards for the grandparents.

Bluebonnets

About a month ago I took Brayden to a local field filled with bluebonnets... Here are some of the highlights. He looks like such a big boy - it hurts my heart a little he has grown so fast but I am so proud if the boy he is becoming

Cooper and His Little League Opening Ceremonies

Today we went to my nephew's little league opening ceremonies at Winfrey Point near White Rock Lake. The day was beautiful! It was great to support Coop and it was my brother's birthday so nice to spend time with him on his special day.

Stars Game!

Last Tuesday we went to the Stars game. Ryan got free tickets from the Dallas Morning News for being a loyal subscriber if you can believe that! The fantastic part is we get there and we were three rows behind glass. So cool! Brayden had fun. Was a little overwhelmed by noise but we had a good time.

Date Night

Ryan and I got to finally celebrate our 6 year anniversary last weekend. We went to Del Frisco's Grille for dinner which was fabulous and then after for a few drinks at Bar Belmont. The view of downtown Dallas at the Belmont was awesome - such a cool place to go. We had a great time.

Aquarium!

A few weeks ago we got Brayden an aquarium for his room. He loves going to the aquarium at Fair Park and had been asking for a fish. We went to pet store with the intention of getting a goldfish and a bowl and walked out with a 10 gallon fish tank and 6 fish.. It's actually really cool and surprisingly low maintenance. So 6 new fish are now part of our family.

Holiday Pinterest Projects

I think I have mentioned on this blog here how much I LOVE pinterest. It is probably one of the most genius websites ever created. I can spend hours looking at that site and how found so many sources of inspiration it really is unbelievable. It is almost getting embarrassing when I take a dish somewhere or do some sort of project when people ask "Where did you find that idea?" "Where can I get that recipe?" My friends are so tired of hearing my answer as Pinterest. If you haven't discovered it, you are missing out. I have fed my family, kept myself busy, fueled my creativity, found outfit/fashion ideas, all because of Pinterest. But enough of that... here are some of the projects I did over the holidays I found on Pinterest....

PRINTABLE ADVENT CALENDAR IRON-ON DECALS. (I put them on muslin bags and hung them with laundry clips and a twine rope).

PHOTO ORNAMENTS (Photos transferred to mini canvases - using modge podge)

HANDPRINT SNOWMEN (found this thanks to my friend Courtney Edwards :)

PHOTO CANVASES (My walls are not this lime green - not a good photo! )
