I have what some would call a Pinterest-problem. But, I have good boundary skills and don't go there every day. If I did, my husband would be in a lot of trouble because there are so many wonderfully talented people who post wonderfully creative and helpful things on Pinterest. The real genius is if I could find away to blog about all of my Pinterest projects and make money doing it....now that would be genius. Just sayin'
This weekend I did manage to get a few things done that I have been wanting to do for a very, very long time. Think years....Yeah for me!!

Big Daddy is very excited for this project....you can just see it in his face! |
|
Even with a BROKEN finger, he still helps out. LOVE |
|
Uggg...can you just see that ugly blank space. |
|
Ah....LOVE these beautiful boys :) |

Showing Big Daddy how much I appreciate him |
AND, there's more. One of my goals as a mom is to be more proactive in telling my children what I appreciate and love about them. I tend to get sucked in to nag, nag, nag mode and I hate it. So this week, I did something about it and made some very cute and fun ways to tell them how much I love them more often. Here they are...

Each boy has their own hanging outside of their bedroom. |

These hang underneath the bulletin board I hung for each boy for their art, special recognitions and such. |

The hallway |
SUPER simple to make -- I printed the template off on white paper. Framed it in a cheap $3 frame from Wal-mart, and wrote on them with a dry erase marker so that I can change it daily. (that's my goal atleast). It also helps improve literacy skills for the two little people in the house.
OOOOO.....ahhhhhh......Ohhhhh...is what I heard from the boys when they saw them. Now, to remember to write on them often -- I'm filling their love buckets and helping them see all of the great things I see every day but forget to tell them about.
Awesome! I love it! (Both ideas) Where did you get the vinyl done? I've been wanting to do some stuff in my house for a long time, but can't afford it. (The only source I've found here was like a professional place.)
ReplyDeleteJeri --
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of ladies you know, Tiffany Beath and Holly Johnson, who have vinyl machines and are very reasonable. I bought my vinyl on the clearance rack at Craft Warehouse so it wasn't spendy -- just a few bucks. I'll email you the "I love You today because" graphic and you can print it. My kids are loving it...and even noticing what I write for my other children. <3
