Happy Spring!

Although it does not feel like it, today is the first day of Spring! It's been cold here and it'll be even colder tomorrow. Come on Spring!!!

To celebrate I thought I'd share my Easter decor with you. Most of the ideas came from Pinterest, of course!

Here's my tablescape. I use the top of our TV stand for my holiday tablescapes. Our TV is now mounted as you can see from the super ugly cords, so I get free range of the TV stand.

I stuffed the vase with recycled tissue paper from a gift bag and the eggs I got at Michael's on clearance last year. I think I paid .25 cents each for them! The felt basket was new with tags from Target, but I found it at Goodwill for .50 cents! Target sends unsold clearance items to Goodwill. I have gotten some awesome deals that way. So, keep an eye out at your local Goodwill.

 

The cloth was a gift from my Mother-in-law. I assume it's from Guatemala. She gave it to me to keep my tortillas warm after cooking them. I think it looks very Spring-like, so I'm using it in my tablescape. I guess I should have ironed it now that I look at it. Oh well, the iron and I are not very good friends. lol!

 The vintage print in my Target frame can be found here. It's a free printable from The Graphics Fairy LLC. She has tons of amazing Easter photos!

 These are hand painted plastic eggs from a local famer's market in my sister's hometown. I put them in the cake stand from Liam's birthday party. I pretty much use it for every holiday now. I found the cake stand at Hobby Lobby for 40% off. Can you tell I love a deal?

 I made this super easy egg garland last year with eggs I found at Goodwill! You can find the tutorial here. Basically you just string plastic eggs.  ;)

This is the egg garland made with large eggs. It's in a basket on the dining room table, because Liam wouldn't leave it alone on my tablescape.

 

This amazing little hanging and the egg one on my front door were DIY projects made with trays from Dollar Tree. You can find the tutorial here from K.I.S.S. {Keep It Simple, Sister}.It really is super simple!

I hope to peruse the Easter clearance again this year and maybe snag some new Spring decor for next year.

Happy Spring!

Funky Leggings and Bandana Bib

If you saw my post yesterday then you saw Liam's new funky leggings and bandana bib.

My super talented cousin, Stacy, made them! You can find her tutorial on how to make them here on her blog, Stacy Sews and Schools. And here is another look at them. :)

 She also turned a tank top into a romper for me! You can find that tutorial here.

I had been wanting something to show our Truman pride, but the Truman Gear store doesn't sell anything smaller than a child's size 5. I bought the tee in the smallest size and commissioned my cousin to turn it into a short-all! 

Here is a picture of it. It's been too cold for Liam to wear it, but as soon as it warms up I will get pictures of him in it!

Our Weekend in Review

Here are a few of my favorite photographs from this past weekend.



Our Saturday started with bubbles in the kitchen.

We then had a play date at the play area in the mall!

We headed home and after Liam's nap we got to enjoy the 60 degree weather.

Sunday Daddy returned home, so we headed to the Children's Museum!

Liam insisted on bringing a book. I will not object to that!
