Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies

I recieved the Raisin Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie for review from Influenster in this months Mom VoxBox. These are so good! I didnt think I was going to like the cookie since Im not a big fan of raisins but I loved it! Its so nice and soft and even better when heated in the microwave for a couple of seconds. If your a soft cookie fan I would definantly recommend these! Man..think its time to stock up!

The Main Uses of Ivory

Ivory soap is great! It is free of dyes and perfumes and made with 99% pure ingredients! I use Ivory soap in my homemade laundry detergent. One bar grated for soap flakes goes a long way! It helped my clothes come out clean and its definantly easy on my wallet. Ivory soap isnt just for laundry soap though. Its a great facial cleanser and body bar. I love to rub it on drawers that stick. It makes them pull out so smooth.  I recieved a bar of Ivory soap from Influenster and was happy to get it. Ive used this soap for a while now and I know its a great product!

Sorry I've been MIA

Well it has been quite a while since my last entry but I have been super busy! This blogging thing is all new to me and its hard to find time to post. Especially with two little ones. How do you other moms do it! Ive gotta give it to you. You guys are some great multi taskers. I have been doing some crafting and I will try and post some tutorials later on. But for now Ive got to wrangle the kids down for a nap....


In the meantime you should check out this website. So many great ideas!!

Hair Bow Holder

  Ok, so both of my daughters have a million hairbows! Im pretty much obsessed. I even started making my own. The problem was that I didnt have anywhere to store them! I didnt want one of those bow holders thats just a long piece of ribbon. I was looking for something more creative. So I found this idea and I absolutely love it! Its a Hair Bow Frame.

  Im a bargain shopper so there was no way I was going to go buy a new frame just to break it down. So garage saleing I went....and Success!! I stopped at a garage sale where a lady had a stack of old picture frames and she was asking $1 per frame. Some of the frames were complete and some were missing the backing and the glass. I asked if she would take .50 for the incomplete ones and she said yes! Woo hoo! $.50 for a frame! I rushed home and dug through my spray paint and ribbon stash. Found just what I was looking for.

  The frame I got was pretty rough looking so I had to clean it up, wipe it down and pull out any stray nails. Then I spray painted it. Took a couple of coats but I got the look I was wanting. Once it was dry I glued ribbon to the back and putt a tulle puff in the corner...Wallah! A display for my beautiful hair bows!

Hook Holder

I've got a new project Im trying to complete but I've been so busy lately. Its a crochet hook case. Im hoping Im following the directions right! I decided to do it in a purple yarn since thats one of my fave colors. Im almost half way done. Its killing me that I haven't finished yet! Hope it comes out great. I'll definantly post pics of the finished project...hopefully soon.

My Newest Addction

Ok so I have gone through my share of hobbies and interests but I have to say this one is a keeper. Crochet. I love seeing the work of my hands. Items created with the simplest loops and patterns. All beautiful because they were made by me. My whole life I've felt that I wasnt really good at one particular thing but Im starting to think maybe this is it. I genuinely enjoy crocheting. It de-stresses me. Even if I can only do it for ten minutes without getting interrupted, those ten minutes are totally worth it. These are a couple of things Ive had the joy of making.
