Fun Box

My daughter loves paper, markers, crayons.. anything artsy..  I have tried so many different ways to help her keep things together, but she still seems to find any way to make a mess of it!

So I was at Target ( a favorite store of mine) and saw this.....

In the Picnic area. For napkins, knives. forks and spoons... and thought!! YAY!! This is perfect.... $9.99 :)

So i bought one, and got my nifty Cricut out and cut out some vinyl.

Madison names it the Fun box!!

I added some Ribbon and filled it full of goodies for her!! She has literally packed it everywhere, up and down the stairs, in the car, outside where ever!!

And easy to keep things organized!!

I love it!! and I'm glad she does to!!

Paper, Stickers, markers, Pencils and Pens!!

Till Next Time, Esther

Savings Jars

We are going to Disneyland a couple times this year so we have to save really hard!!

So I Made these " Savings Jars " for my girls..

I went to Hobby Lobby and got 2 jars... they were $4.99 but were on sale for 50% off. So i got both of them for $5.00!! YAY!!

I then got out my Cricut and cut their names out and the castle in Vinyl.

Put it on the jars, added some ribbon and stickers and Wallah!!!

 

I think they tunrned out cute and my girls love them!!

So im hoping this will help motivate them to save thier money!!

Motivation / Chore Board

 I've wanted to come up with something to put our Family "To Do's" on.

 I wanted it to be Motivating and Inpsiring...

 I want All of us, even my kids see these motivational words on a regular basis because i want my kids to be these things, and not only them, but for me and my husband to be that kind of parent.

 I really like how this turned out... :)

What do you think?

My Husband helped make the frame, and we put metal in it..

I then used my AWESOME Cricut ( thank you mom) and cut out vinyl word and put them around the edges.

I Then added Kids Chore Charts and

Valentine's Day Mail boxes!!

I was walking past the Dollar section at Target and found there Cute Mailboxes!!

Yep, I said $1.00!! Had to get them, had a lot of ideas to do with them but had decided they have to be for Valentines Day!

I used my Cricut and and my Computer to cut out their names to add the the boxes.  

I got some cute paper from Roberts and decorated them.

Starting February 1st - the 14th I will have these sitting out. I am encouraging everyone in the family to participate by writing something nice to someone (on the hearts below.), giving them a coupon  or a treat. :) and put them in the mail box.. (I loved how you can raise the flag when you put something in it.) I know my kids will be excited.. (and lets me honest me to!!)

                The ♥'s i cut out to write something nice on.

                                     

I will be randomly putting in treats like a favorite Candy bar, sucker, or Candy Hearts. I will always attach a note.

I think they turned out great and  I really hope this turns out as fun as i am imagining it in my head!!
