Trying to be crafty again....

Well since I have joined Pinterest, I have seen so many crafts that I want to try. So, I decided to take a few things that I have seen and combined them together. I had fun doing this, and it made me want to become crafty again, since it has been a little bit since I have crafted.
So to make this rather simple craft, you need:
-Cardboard letter (of your choosing) (I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $2.50)
-Dot Confetti (Hobby Lobby $2.00) There was a whole bunch of colors, I got a combo of black and white with different sizes
-Hot glue or any type of glue, (I used a glue stick)
-Lacquer spray

Make a pattern with the dots if you have more than one color (I tried doing a checker board, didn't really work like that but it looks awesome).
Make sure you glue each dot on separately, they will stay on better then putting a strip of glue down.
Once you have covered the amount of letter you want to with dots, spray the lacquer on the help keep the confetti on, and it even adds a little shine. It would be fun to add glitter to it at this point depending on what you want to use it for.
If you want to hang it, staple ribbon to the top, or back, it adds that much more too it!
So it really is super easy, and ANYONE can do it! I promise you!

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...

Life as we know it...crazy!
