Thrifty: Pineapple Revamp

Ever since I started planning Noah's birthday party, I have taken a break from getting the office decorated. But i thought I'd share one of my absolute favorite thrift store finds.  

I actually found this a while back, but just hadn't done anything with it yet. So I decided it was time. 

I got this fun little pinapple tray for $3 at the local thrift store. I knew as soon as I saw it that it would be perfect on my desk to hold little odds and ends. 

I hope you love this thrifty DIY as much as  i do! xo Britt

Noah's First Valentine's Day

I love holidays! I have always loved them, but ever since Noah was born I have enjoyed them so much more. I really have tried to start fun traditions for our little family for each holiday. 

For Valentine's day I didn't want to go overboard. I want Noah to know that I love him and his daddy very much and that's all that matters. I am sure one day that chocolate will become part of our tradition, but for now I want to focus on a fun homemade gift for the little mister. 

As you probably know by now, I am all about putting thought and care into a homemade gift versus going out and just buying something random. I am also about budgeting, so it's also a huge plus if my homemade gift doesn't cost much. 

I decided about two months ago what I wanted to make Noah. And I am so happy how it turned out. 

I actually found and adapted my little drum from one I found on A Beautiful Mess (here).  I used a container from our recycling, a piece of fabric from our stash, a piece of vinyl, and string. 

This was so simple and I cannot wait for Noah to play with this! Happy Valentine's Day! xo, Britt

Valentines Breakfast

If you are wanting to do something nice for your husband, wife, or even kids this Valentine's day make them breakfast! Or better yet, breakfast in bed. :) We have a simple, quick breakfast idea we like to make on Valentine's day morning.

All you need to make the egg sanwhich is an egg, piece of toast, butter, and a heart shape cookie cutter. First butter your bread and then cut out the heart. Place the bread in a pan and crack your egg into the middle of the heart. Let it cook on that side for a few minutes and then carefully flip it and finish the other side. We take the center piece (the heart cut out) and cook it also. 

Then all you have to do is add a loving note or card (click here for our card inspiration), a flower, and their favorite breakfast drink. It's pretty simple but a fun, cute way to show someone you appreciate them. Not to mention its also very yummy! xoxo, Britt + Sky

DIY Valentine's Onesie

Needing a cute shirt for you kiddo this valentines day? Don't go to the store, make it yourself! Today we have a simple, inexpensive way for you to that. All you need to get started is:

• onesie
• fabric paint (red and black)
• foam
• scissors
• marker/ pencil
• tape

1. Draw out your heart  arrow onto the foam.

2.Then cut them both out. Next cut your arrow into three sections. 

3. Use tape to create a temporary handle like pictured below. We show washi tape here, but through trial and error we found that duct tape is a better choice. 

4. Grabbing your heart stamp by the handle, dip it into the red paint. Make sure it gets covered. Then carefully, but with enough pressure, stamp it into the center of the onesie.

5. Let the red paint dry for at least an hour.

6. Take each segment of your arrow and dip it in the black paint (same way you did the heart) and line it up like pictured below.

7. Let it dry completely. 

That's all! Now your kiddo has a cute, handmade shirt to wear for Valentine's day. :)

You can also customize the colors if you want. We just wanted to do the traditional red heart, but really the options are endless. xoxo, Britt + Sky
