Pinterest #37 Maxi Skirt with Ruffles on Bottom

Picture of link

The one I made isn't nearly as cute as this one (pictures to come). As a matter of fact my husband doesn't like it and says its "cheesy"  hahaha!!

But for a lounge around the house skirt it works. Might try again making the skirt fuller and the ruffle not so rufflely. 

Pinterest #36 Stain Remover

I had a wonderful "fail" moment with this one. There are a couple of posts of this recipe floating around out there. Basically it is just hydrogen peroxide and dish soap but I found one that added baking soda to the mix. DON'T DO IT!!

All that did was build up pressure in the bottle and make it explode. What a fun time we had with that! 

Once we cleaned up that mess I tried it again. Leaving the baking soda out. It works very well. There are some stains that need to be treated multiple times but I have noticed it gets the out a lot faster and better then any stain treatment I have bought before. 

This will now be a staple in our house. 

Pinterest #35 Your Sparkler

 

 

I LOVE this saying!  I thought it would be great for the girls to see on a daily basis. So I made my own version out of vinyl for their bathroom. (Picture to come)

Just a wonderful piece of uplifting inspiration for yourself! 

Getting healthy week 22

Weight: down 9 pounds

Exercise: yeah right!

Calorie count: higher and higher

Can you tell I have fallen of the wagon yet?  I keep trying to get going again but it's just not happening. 

I am mad that I am seeing numbers again that I never wanted to see again. Today I was going to get up before the kids and get going. Yup. Sitting on my fat but in front of tv and its already 8:30am. Not moving. 

I will get there. I will get back on track. I hope. 

Pinterest #34 Home made Body Butter

This turns out wonderfully. But very oily. It takes a while to absorb but leaves you feeling moisturized.

Also keeps skin soft and shinny. So if you want to show off those freshly shaved legs its perfect.  I think I will play with the recipe to see if I can get it less oily. 

All in all a keeper. 

Pinterest #33 maxi dress

I am very pleased with how this turned out. Don't you agree?!

So I went to Walmart and bought a $3.00 tank top and a $5.00 sheet. Now if I had done this right the first time it would have only taken me a couple of hours to do. But since I decided to sew the top and skirt together the wrong way so the top was inside out, I had to take an extra day to make the sash. 

So be more patient then I am and double check before you sew.

Pinterest #32 Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

OMG! I thought these where the bees knees! Hehe!  My family, not so much. Mostly because they were disappointed they weren't chocolate chip pancakes. :)

Very filling because of the oatmeal so two made the perfect serving size. 

I will be making these again. Even if it is only for me.
