This DYI Super Smooth Body Lotion works incredibly well, is easy, cheap, and makes GREAT Christmas presents! Eliot’s Eats originally first made it and I just love it. I like to dress it up with a migraine essential oil blend to really get that boutique lotion smell. I have made several batches of DIY Body…

Kitchen Helper Stand
Rocket loves to “help” in the kitchen. If one of us goes in there for anything at all, he is always not far behind dragging one of his Little Tikes plastic chairs so he can stand on it to be closer to the counter. While those chairs are great for sitting, they are…
Chocolate Chocolate Donuts!
Do you know what a chocolate chocolate is? Where I’m from it is a chocolate cake donut with chocolate icing and it is my favorite donut on the face of the earth! Sometimes on Sunday mornings Mr. Picky Eater will announce he is going to the donut shop for a special treat. He doesn’t even…

Fashion Time Capsule and Glitter Albums
So, I have two more nifty projects to show you – The first ones are the Copy Cats. Last night I got my daily email from Fab.com. I like Monday nights because it has all kinds of retro stores to browse. I don’t remember the name of the store but the owner offered albums. She…
