Beaded Tassel Bracelet

Anyone else have a huge tackle box of beads from when they were younger? I used to make necklaces and bracelets for my family, friends, teachers and just about anyone who would take one. I’ve been pinning to my DIY Jewelry board for over a  year now and have realized I have a lot of the materials to make these beautiful bracelets that I swoon over.

Today I decided to try my hand at a Beaded Tassel Bracelet that can double as mini Japa Mala beads (for me during times of need, such as, lunch time with a toddler).

Gooey Granola Bars

Hi guys! I wanted to share with you one of my favorite Kid Chef recipes to get your kids involved in the kitchen. Laura posted this granola bar recipe at Heavenly Homemakers and I knew it looked like a super yummy snack that would be a great recipe for my kid chef!

Gooey Granola Bars

The title is extremely accurate. These granola bars are super gooey which is a great sensory activity for toddlers. This recipe is super easy and customizable. You can have your kids choose what additions to make to the recipe. There is only one part that an adult would need to help with, depending on the age of the kids.*

Gooey Granola Bars

Ingredients Needed:

  • 1/2 c peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 1/3 c honey
  • 1/4 c coconut oil
  • 1 c oats
  • 1 c (total) of any combination of : sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, dried fruit, coconut flakes etc.

Let’s DIY

Happy Friday friends! I hope the sun is shining where you live and you’re looking forward to a fun weekend ahead! I’m excited because Jeffrey and I are going on a star gazing date: dinner, planetarium and star gazing using a rented telescope. We’re switching off who plans our date each month. This was my month and since Jeffrey loves space, I thought I’d recreate our second date together from college (star gazing in a field with brownies). I probably won’t get any crafting done other than finishing photo booth props for my cousin’s wedding. I’m keeping this week’s Let’s DIY at the top of the list though because each of these have been begging to be made!

Good Morning Beautiful

Good Morning Beautiful

I woke up to this when I was younger. My husband whispered this to me when I was older. Now I greet my daughter with ‘good morning beautiful’ every day. On most days she wakes up to ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles playing softly on the record player. Mornings are my favorite. The sun streams through the windows in our bedroom at the most perfect angle and the world is my oyster.

Let’s DIY

Whew. This week was a doozie. And I don’t use that word often. I could seriously go for a ‘no responsibilities crafting weekend’ right about now (and a martini for good measure). I’ll just have to sneak in a few projects here and there during nap times for a while, and I’m ok with that. So, what do you say? Let’s DIY!
