Saving for a trip to Harry Potter World? Wondering how to save for a trip to Harry Potter World? This DIY Harry Potter bank is the perfect visual motivation to save for a visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

You’re going to need a lot of galleons to snap up all of the Honeydukes treats you’ve dreamed about. You’ll probably want some Butterbeer ice cream (yep, that’s a thing now!) and of course a Monster Book of Monsters for your Care of Magical Creatures studies.

Spring is here! The season of perpetual organizational hope. If you’re like me, it starts with some innocent closet rummaging. Then, internal promises are made to declutter, revamp and live like those minimalist folks on Instagram. You know, the ones moving into Airstreams with their family of six, where the bathroom is basically in the kitchen.

Then comes the reality check and the realization that you do in fact appreciate a wide line of demarcation between kitchen and bath. Yeah, tiny house living probably isn’t for us. Or perhaps you’ve come to terms with the fact that you’re more of a stockist, like me. You want plenty of the essentials and places to keep them on hand. Or you simply never want to find yourself toilet paperless at two a.m. Fair. I’m all about keeping the expectation bar knee high.

Heading to Legoland? Make my DIY Lego handbag to bring with you! I made an adult size bag and a child size bag so my daughter Kayla could carry her minifigures while we stayed at Legoland California for the opening of their new Legoland Castle Hotel. These bags are easy to make, look SO CUTE and are probably the most fashionable lego bag you’ll find.

DIY Gold + Marble Modern Cubby Makeover

By

Thanks to Little Partners for sending these cubbies my way. This DIY Gold + Marble Modern Cubby Makeover is quick, easy and looks great!

I love our mid-century modern home, but it suffers from a serious lack of storage. And the intersection of young kids and lack of storage is called chaos. I found these cute cubbies and immediately fell in love with them. But of course I wanted to add my own twist. Gold hardware, carrera marble looking accents and a geometric planter gave this cute children’s storage piece a unique, modern mini-me look. With a few small adjustments I had a modern cubby makeover.

When you’re a parent, there are constant reminders of how imperfect your parenting is. They fly at us in the form of comments from strangers, self-inflicted guilt and even from our own children. No matter how perfect someone else’s life looks, the reality is that we’re all pretty much winging it.

As our family shifts into the mode of having both a preschooler and a budding tween, it feels as though we’re hitting a critical point. One in which I’m supposed to have a heightened sense of everything that is happening in Kayla’s life and also take a step back so she has enough freedom to make her own decisions and learn from her mistakes.  [Read more…]
