A Birdhouse Makeover

Since I`m still looking for cheap 

& inexpensive

ways to brighten the 

decor in my kitchen,

I dug out these two birdhouses

that were tucked away and gave

them a makeover.

Here they are before.

Sad & gloomy.

But with a little touch of paint...

They became...

BEAUTIFUL

Just a quick FYI...

that little pedestal thingy 

is actually a toothbrush holder!

Happy Summer Teacher Gift

Today is the last day of school 

here in Newfoundland.

The kids are gone, gifts in hand for

their teachers.

I've seen this idea floating 

around for a while now and 

I couldn't wait to give it a whirl.

I love these insulated cups, 

they are perfect

for drinks and smoothies.

I filled the cups with single

serving packets of 

lemonade.

Here is a link to the awesome flag printables!

I decorated the cups with fantastic 

paper from My Minds Eye.

So fitting with the alphabet and all!

I am in love with accordion flowers,

a little piece of paper can make

such a huge statement!

I embellished with a few

school themed chip board 

pieces to finish the look!

How to do the Pepsi Dance

Hi Everyone!


I think the summer weather is 
starting to arrive in my 
neck of the woods...finally!!!!


Tomorrow is the last day of 
school for my kiddos,
they have had a lot of fun these 
past couple of weeks in school with 
several school outings and sports days.


One of the things that they 
came home raving about was the 


 PEPSI DANCE

Here is a short video below of how to do the 


PEPSI DANCE


The song is quite long and I 
couldn't convince my daughter to 
dance the entire 5 minutes.


Basically it's just a couple
of moves that are repeated
over and over.

Don't forget to link up your
fantastic summer kid activities to
