Semi-instant Chocolate Bowls

I saw this today on Facebook and couldn't contain myself. Balloons have a million different uses other than floating in the air, but this one is EASY and QUICK. Two of my favorite words are quick and easy ;).

I may have to try this tonight. A pack of dollar store balloons will become chocolate tonight!

Academy Awards Quickie

The Oscars are coming soon! If you need a quick way to throw together an Oscar party (and who doesn't love a reason to throw a party and have some fun with friends?), use these printables from HWTM Blog. They've revamped a design from a couple of years ago with this years nominees.

Quick, easy, fun!

DIY and Meetup

Last weekend - despite Nemo - I hosted my first Meetup for our new group, DIY or Die in NJ. Forcing the time to make something was definitely needed.

I think it's going to be a goal of mine to STOP pinning and START making!

Here is a peak at the glitter heart bags we made for Valentine's Day.

Click, Print, Cut - Super Easy Kid Valentines!

I know, it's only January! But before you know it, Valentine's Day will be here, and I will without a doubt be scrambling last minute to put the finishing touches on my own valentines. 

If you don't have the time to bake your own cookies or make your own cards, take a look at this FREE printable from Sweet Muffin Suite. It's a super stylish, super easy Valentine idea for your kid to bring to class. I think these will be making an appearance in my daughter's ballet class next month!

National Houseplant Appreciation Day!

Maybe it's because we are in the middle of winter that we should take a moment out to be thankful for our houseplants today. Or maybe it's because before we know it, Spring will be here and we will be planning our summer gardening. Either way I enjoyed finding this image from www.swallowtailfarms.com of their houseplant favor.

Herbs, plants, and flowers are all perfect favors or hostess gifts for the Spring. My favorite is to give some of the mint that my husband can't seem to get rid of in our yard. I don't mind though! When the windows are open, I can smell it everywhere in my house!
