Kids Say the Silliest Things!!

A few days ago the wonderful "Becky Higgins" shared an idea a reader sent to her... Perhaps you can relate...

Meggan in Sequim, Washington.

Meggan wrote, I was trying to recall the last time I actually sat down with my kids and just had a conversation with them. Well to be honest, it’s been a while. I’ve been so busy with errands, taking kids to school, meetings, etc. that I haven’t spent that one-on-one time that each kid deserves with his/her parent. So, I put a hold on our morning activities, and sat my kids down & talked.

So here I present to you Meggans creative idea!

Sit down with your child on a monthly, or yearly basic and fill out the question sheet, exactly as they say it! You will treasure this recorded conversation for a lifetime!

As I was checking out some of my favourite blogs
(as I do everynight...I call this..Momma Time!)
I came across this...

The Sock Wreath, over at Blue Cricket Design
Tell me this isn't A-Door-Able!! (No pun-intended)

When I read that it was made out of socks I couldn't believe it!

Becca writes:

"And the next time you get on your kids or husbands backs for not picking up their socks just threaten them that if they don't pick them up they may end up on a wreath!"

So totally cute and I think a definite project to add to my 'hourly-growing' to do list!!

THANKS BECCA!!

I'm sure everyone has heard about this, and most of us LOVE it!

The only downfall is the large price tag that comes with ordering from the company.

 Sooooooo like usual, I plan to DIY!

I spent the morning running around the house, and the neighborhood looking for 'things' that

resembled a letter! A few I couldn't find so Google images to the rescue!

I used Picnik to turn the photos to "Black and White"

Personally I am choosing: HOME & HOFLAND

But you could create anything!

Your name. Your last name. Your children's names. Family. Love. Hope. Laugh. Welcome. Enjoy

           and the list goes on.....

I used a word document to display my choice of letters making sure they looked okay together.

Then I sent them off to Walmart for printing.

I choose to do the HOME in 5x7 (I printed a copy of 4x6 just in case)

And the Hofland in 4x6 (because of the large amount of letters in the name)

Now we are off (as a family) to search for a horizontal frame! Wish me luck!!
