So televisions are mounted to the wall in most houses it seems. At least that’s what I’m taking away from House Hunters and other home renovation shows. And when there is a renovation, or if you have a newer home, it seems like outlets are put in strategic locations where the television might go. Well, we have an older home. My grandparents had it built in 1958, and until we started updating the house 5 years ago, it didn’t even have grounded wiring. The black television wires in my bedroom where just a bit of a visual nuisance to me, so I needed to come up with a way how to hide television cords on the wall from my line of sight. It took a few attempts to make it work, but I’m very pleased with the final results!

My Monkey loves Transformers. Well, not all the Rescue BotsTransformers, but he’s wild about , which are perfect for little hands. Even the Peanut enjoys these Rescue Bots. Well, we’ve got a lot of them, and one day the Monkey decided that he wanted to store them in this large plastic Animal Cracker Container. And I’m willing to do anything that will encourage a 4- and 2-year-old to organize and pick up. When he started putting them all into this container, I decided to make it a bit more in style for his cool Rescue Bots by using an image that I downloaded from the internet and uploading it into Cricut Design Space to create the Monkey’s very own Upcycled Transformer Logo Container.
Easy DIY Goldfish Snacks Jar
January 14, 2017 by · 1 Comment
The Monkey loves Goldfish crackers, particularly when he gets home from preschool and needs a little quiet time after a day of playing and learning. He asks to watch one of “My Shows, not grown-up shows!” and requests Goldfish crackers and a cup of milk. He also likes to be independent. That’s very important for him. We keep most of his straws, cups and dishes at a level that he can reach because it’s very important that he does it “all by myself.” I made with a clear storage jar and some spare vinyl this quick and easy DIY Goldfish Snacks Jar, so that the Monkey can get his own yummy Goldfish Crackers.
Upcycled, No Sew Diaper Box for Storage
January 9, 2017 by · 2 Comments
We have a lot of diaper boxes in our house. Not as many as before, now that the Monkey only wears pull-ups at night, but we’ve got a lot of Huggies boxes sitting around. Many are in our basement holding toys and clothes. Overall, I have found that they are incredible durable and strong boxes, and can be repurposed for many things. We also have a lot of blankets or “woobies” in our house. The little boys seem to love all of their quilts, receiving blankets and afghans that they have received since their birth, and I’m running out of places to store them. That got me to thinking that what I needed to do– make my very own upcycled no sew diaper box to store all boxof the boys’ woobies. Now I recently bought a huge box of Huggies at Sam’s Club, which I’m going to tell you about later, but realized that the box wouldn’t fit underneath the Peanut’s Crib. I decided to cover a slightly smaller Huggies box to create a storage container for the Littles’ woobies.
