A little something crafty ...Mommy Time out!

Most of the crafts I post are crafts geared for your little ones or for you to do with you little ones. While you could do this craft with the kids, I suggest you give yourself a Mommy Time Out and do a little something crafty for yourself. I love all things garland. when I came across these felted garland pictures I knew instantly I had to make garland of my own. I am off to the craft supply to purchase my much needed materials, tonight when all are sleeping I will pop in a classic Jane Austin flick and make my own felted garland. I plan to make mine in shades of red, grey, and mustard yellow so I can use it both for my little Liam's vintage plane party and for Christmas!

Girlfriend, you deserve it...

I don't know about you, but this week is flying by at an alarming pace...I think it's time for a Mommy Time Out:

All that time in the summer sun can cause your skin to look a bit weathered. Give your skin a little pick me up with this simple at home treatment:

Mix a 1:8 ratio of distilled vinegar to water. Use a cotton ball to apply the solution to your face, avoiding the eye area of course. Leave solution on your face for 5 minutes, rinse with cool water and apply moisturizer. Your skin will look instantly brighter and refreshed!



(warning...this treatment can be a little stinky...but well worth the stink! )

May that glow inside you shine through!
