Soft football helmet DIY

I searched everywhere for a soft foot ball helmet. For some reason I felt my baby needed a cute soft helmet. He actually seemed disappointed that I wanted him to wear a bonnet looking item. I only convinced him with a lollipop.

 I just bought some felt squares and then followed this Martha Stewart pattern on how to make a felt hat. Tweeked it a little and came up with a great NFL 49ers helmet. I wanted to add 49er patches but never made it that far.

Give for Real

Would you like better nutrition?
Would you like to make a difference in this world?

What if I told you that you could help fight malnutrition without even donating a dime?

Simply by making your daily habit of consuming supplements a child in need will benefit.

The model is DONATION thru CONSUMPTION

I have been on Mannatech supplements for over 13 years. I wouldn't go a day without it. My children wake up every morning and ask for the Manna Bears and Glyco Bears (vitamin)  with breakfast.


Look at what the Manna Bears contain:
Do your kids get all this nutrition everyday?

Just by giving my kids Mannabears each month my automatic order is also giving to a child in need. The program is Give for Real with Mannatech. I am so excited that my actions of trying to give my children and myself better nutrition benefits another child. Help me, help others! Consider making Mannatech apart of your diet today!!!

Aerial Swing Yoga

My sister is so into this! She feels like she is becoming more flexible, stronger and discovering her inner peace. Any kid who gets a hold of this can't ever seem to get enough. My kids love to  flip, swing,  and hang upside down for long periods of time. Its fun to encourage good healthy habits to kids and watch them so excited to show off their new tricks. And of course I have one now too. I haven't gotten into the upside down thing much much yet. But I do feel like my muscles are getting a good work out because isn't that was sore muscles mean?
If you want a Yoga swing, contact me my sister has plenty. :)

DIY Soccer Banner

I volunteered to make a soccer banner this year. Found out there really isn't much out there in terms of directions. But here is the finished product and I think it urned out great. I was lucky my daughters team was the Bumble Bees.  If you have a fence to hang it on then your in luck because it makes everything a lot easier. I just bought  1  1/2  yards of black felt, 1/2 yard of yellow felt and 4 white felt squares. I used a lot of hot glue and made the bees first. Then glued the bees and letters onto the banner. Used puff paint for the girls names. Put two holes on either side, glue a washer around the whole and put a binder ring clip through and hang it on the fence.

Blowing Glitter at the camera is a must. It helps if you are little and dressed as a fairytale princes.

Chalk drawings is super cute.  Especially if you have this little king.

Making a calendar out of your favorite pieces of scrapbook paper. Turned out cute but not my favorite project.

Hey more glitter, cute hand prints.

Old fashion Silhouettes using the iPad

I did this family picture for my Christmas card last year. I thought it was so cute with the different colors and holding hands and all that. I actually paid someone on ETSY to do it for my family. My brother-in-law was determined to find an app on the iPad that I could've done it with myself. Anyways the free sketch book pro works! With a lot of trial and error you simply draw a line around the whole object and then fill with paint. Turns out really cute and makes a great card! I made silhouettes every evening for a month and it's been a while so I better start that up again. :)

***I just started again and I have a few more tips.

When you add a picture to the screen from your camera roll 

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT START THE OUTLINE UNTIL YOU ADD A BLANK LAYER.

If you see your outline on white in the layer section you are good to go. 

When you have outlined the whole image you can fill it in with the paint bucket.

I am silhouette crazed once again!
