DIY Magnetic Pin Dish

I found the cutest trinket dish while I was perusing the craft section at Target (here). I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but knew I needed it. :) 

A few days ago I was sewing and I realized that I really wanted a magnetic dish to place my pins n. I have a pin cushion, but the lazy girl in me really wanted to be able to lay the pins in as I took them out of the piece I was working on. I know, I know, silly, right. But it got me thinking. I had the perfect use for my recent impulse buy. 

Here's what I used:

• trinket dish
• glu
• 1/2" magnet
• sharpi

I used three 1/2" magnets to glue on the back of the dish. 

Then I used a black sharpie to draw dots on the inside. Then I very carefully used a bright pink sharpie to color the ledge of the dish. 

This could definitely be used for other trinkets instead of pins. It would be perfect for jewelry, especially earrings. And would make a great diy gift. I seriously love the way it turned out! I hope you love it too. What could you use this diy for? Who on your gift list could use this cute dish? xo Britt

DIY Reusable Shopping Bags

I have found myself doing a lot of my grocery shopping at Aldi lately. Which as you probably know means bringing my own bags. Unless I want to buy some or collect boxes. I was collecting boxes every trip, but then got really tired of having to deal with them when I got home.

So I found a few canvas bags that I thought would be perfect for my weekly trips and decided to make them a little more fun. To spice up my grocery trips a little. Hahaha! 

It's super simple and super fun.

You need:

• canvas bags
• iron on letters
• scissors
• iron

All you need to do is cut out your letters and iron them on (do so according to the directions provided).

Even Noah digs our new grocery bags 😂  

Happy Monday lovelies! xo, Britt

Tour: Sophie's Nursery

So Sophie's nursery ... when she was first born, Skylar still lived with us and stayed in our second bedroom, and Sophie lived in our room. When Skylar moved out in December to head off to school (let's not talk about it, it's still a sensitive subject) we moved Sophie to her own room. I was so excited to decorate, I finished her room in about 2 days. There were a few things that I still needed to figure out, but for the most part it was done. 

After dragging my feet about posting until it was absolutely perfect (I have issues, but we can discuss that another day) I decided it was time. Plus my friend Danielle wouldn't stop bugging me about it! hahaha :) So I am so pumped to finally be sharing this with you all today!

There are so many things about her room that I absolutely love! Be sure to comment with your favorites! xo, Britt

Noah's Second Birthday

When it comes to throwing parties, I tend to over do it. I get super stressed about all of the tiny details and I try to do way too many things. I decided I needed to keep it simple this time. 

I chose three different party theme ideas that I thought Noah would love and I lt him make a choice. I really wasn't sure which one Noah would choose. But he wanted Mickey Mouse, so that's what we went with. 

Here are a few highlights from the party: 

Sophie had a little too much fun :) 

And here's Noah cheesin' in his Mickey hat.  

Happy Tuesday lovelies! xo, Britt
