The past few months we have been doing a major kitchen over-haul and I love, love, love the way it is turning out. Combine the kitchen redo with my massive love-hate relationship with the KonMari method of organizing that I adopted last fall and I have been very busy. Yes, KonMari is the crazy method of basically throwing everything away that doesn't "spark joy". It comes from the book the Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and let me tell you, the process is most definitely life changing. All of these things lead me to today's solution for how to organize your measuring cups and spoons. First, let me tell you what DIDN'T "spark joy" for me. THIS DRAWER: So when it was time to empty out and decide what to do with it I went back to my pinterest board of home ideas and was inspired by a measurement conversion chart created by the blogger at Infarrantly Creative. I tried to figure out how to organize your measuring cups and spoons with a much taller, skinnier pine cabinet door and this is what I came up with: The first thing I did was gather the supplies for my project: *This post contains Amazon Affiliate links Chalkboard Contact Paper red paint 3 paint ...

Why I Love Young Living Essential Oils
About two years ago my younger son and I were at his hippotherapy (horse back riding) and we were being bitten alive by mosquitoes which I happen to be allergic to. I tried every product at the store to relieve my discomfort from these gigantic welts and out of desperation posted a picture of them on Facebook and asked my friends for help. There were lots of suggestions but my friend Tami had just been getting started with Young Living oils and she sent me a bottle of (can't tell you or the FDA will make me take this post down). Within 24 hours of using it my welts were gone. I was amazed. I started doing some research and found out that there were several things I wanted to try oils for. I bought my first Premium Starter Kit and started making little DIY recipes. After posting my oily diy recipes here y'all wanted to buy oils too and so I asked Tami how you do that. She showed me how to sign people up and I made the decision that since I loved you all so much I would split my commission on every sale with you (I make $50 a signup) and that is why I have ALWAYS offered the $25 off a Young Living Premium Starter kit here on the blog. I figured it was like any other affiliate link I ...

How to Fold a Towel into a Bunny Rabbit
I have always loved the little towel animal creations you find in your room during cruises. On our recent trip on Royal Caribbeans Allure of the Seas I attended a class on how to fold towel animals. I grabbed some quick video of the towel folding class so that I wouldn't forget. Here is a snippet of the class that teaches how to fold a towel into a bunny rabbit. I thought this would be adorable for Easter this Sunday. For an even cuter look, put some sun glasses on your towel rabbit! I know the video is shot at sort of a weird angle but the one thing you need to know is that the big towel starts off being rolled in opposite decorations and meet in the middle to create the two separate "tubes". Then he folds those in half towards each other, pulling the corners to somewhat fold it out of itself. Does that make sense? You can see him do it really well when the kid struggles. If this one is difficult for you, I personally happen to think this bunny is adorable and has great directions. Did you have fun? OK, do me a favor and pin the image below so that you can teach your friends how to fold a towel into a bunny rabbit and make them a hero this Easter too. ...
