Roadside Treasures

A few weeks ago I found this desk chair on the side of the road.

I just couldn't leave it behind.

 I loaded it into my SUV and headed home with my roadside treasure.

It was obviously worn and needed some TLC.  Every screw in the chair was missing or 

ready to fall out.  It was barely holding together but the bones were just awesome

Laced Cake Plate Remake

I am always looking for something I can transform.

I was at TJMaxx a few days ago and found this cute little cup.

I looked at it and thought how adorable it was but couldn't think of what I would be able to do with it.  So I walked around a little more and I saw this beautiful laced something but I couldn't tell what it was because it was buried under a ton of other items.

My Treasure Hunt

Hello Everyone

I had a fantastic Saturday Treasure Hunt.

I met up with Anna, my friend from Cuddlebug Cuties, and we went shopping for treasures.

Look at what I found.

This shelf below is incredible.  It's a huge picture frame with divided compartments.

The first photo is my first attempt to hang it by myself.  It weighs a ton, lol.

 Then I finally got it level.  What do you think?

Check out my new message board.  It sits like a photo frame.

Now for my little Jacobs gift.  

This chalk board with hooks for each day is adorable and large so you can actually see what you write on it.  I love the aged wood look of this find.

Check out my cute little mini tea cup set.

 These cups are so dainty and feminine.  I love them.

Well what do you think of my treasure hunt?

Go visit Anna at Cuddlebug Cuties and check out her finds.

Entertain Kids

I'm always looking for ways to entertain Jacob.  

I love to upcycle everything I can get my hands on

so I decided to look on Pinterest and see what I could find.

I found lots of cheap and fun things to do with him that are really fun.

Take a look at the Pinteresting ideas I found.

Pirate Party inspiration!! 

 Got a sandbox?  

Have a Treasure hunt!

Recycled 2 liter bottles and some felt.

Turn the pack and play into a ball pit- just buy balls!!!

Would this actually make little boys wash their hands more?

Recycled Tin Can Windsocks

Shaving cream on the slide for loads of fun.

Talk about clean playtime

Tin Foil River in the yard. cheap fun.

Valentine Craft: Felt and Tic Tac poster board Toe Hearts

Cardboard tubes + box = hours of fun!

Brilliant! It's a shower curtain (liner) taped to the kitchen floor. 

The road is drawn on with permanent marker and the kids 

can color to their hearts content then drive their cars on it.

Place a tarp under or at the bottom of slide, 

set up sprinkler to keep slide and tarp wet...hours of water fun

Fun for a rainy day: use Christmas lights, a sheet, 

and chairs to create this tunnel.

Portable roads that are easy for kids to put together and will travel easily, 

made out of old denim and yellow paint. 

Velcro helps them stick to carpet.  Awesome idea.

My kids are having a blast with all these activities!

Hope yours have great fun too.
