happy birthday america!! <3

fourth of july is just around the corner and i am super excited! o has a cute oneise that i picked up at walmart that says "i love chicks with sparklers" && k has a american themed hello kitty sleeveless dress that i got at walmart too! i am super excited! i splurged on the kids easter outfits so i held back on the fourth of july attire! but my aunt bought them super cute matching outfits!! love them!

i am super excited because at work we have wacky wednesday. each wednesday comes with a new fun theme! july 2nd is red white & blue day! and i saw this awesome onesie that i am going to transform into a mommy shirt so that i can wear it to work! 
                                                                                             you can find the onesie tutorial here!

i found these awesome amazing flag glasses on ebay for $5.99! i loved them & just  had to order them! i think they will totally make the outfit!


so getting to the fun stuff! making my shirt!
first - (obviously!) buy a shirt! 

second - get ready! i cover the table in plastic garbage bags to save the table! i elected to keep o out of this fun because he still in the stage where it is hard to pry them open! but I did do his feet on the front trying to make a heart. my placement didn't turn out perfect but at least he was still involved!
& another tip::: keep a brush for each color instead of trying to tell k how to wash and dry after each color! saves a little bit of a headache!

third- figure out your placement - either try it on and make a mark to remind you were you want the handprint to go and where you want your stripes to end!  or you can eyeball it! your choice!

fourth - paint a hand and stick it down! and PRESS!! 

fifth - i let the hand dry before i started the stripes. i was worried i was going to drag my hand through it and mess it all up! then i started on the red stripes! 





i love how it turned out and got to wear it today! it was amazing! and i am one of the few who actually has kids at work so i got to show off a little! :))

it's a great start to an awesome AMERICAN holiday!! 

((especially since we are headed to see my grandmother in tennessee!!))

shut the front door

happy weekend!!
i wanted to share a project that i have been working off & on with for the past year. my front door!
it started out all white and normal looking && now it looks like this!!

i made the 'L' out of burlap and order the 'hello' off etsy from:: here
the color is the same as our shutters! 
i have been thinking off adding a kick plate {can't decide! what do you think?} && definitely want a new door bell but haven't been able to bring myself to spend that $$$ and we need a new fresh doormat but we were given this one as a wedding gift with our last name so it has some sentimental connection! maybe i can hint for a new one this anniversary! 
{{like the ice scraper accessory?? can't wait til we can put that away for a while!}}

i will post some about the rest of my front porch soon! i decorated the rest to all blend in!

i love the way that it has turned out and hope to give the whole porch a face lift this summer!!

what do y'all think?
