Date eggs

I date my eggs to insure I do not leave the old ones while cooking. This way I know when they were laid. No guess work. Today I found my old date stamper and thought aaaahhhh haa!

Place holder tiles

I took an old set of tiles and wrote everyone's first letter of their name on it. I wrote the letters in permanent marker and baked them at 350 for 30 minutes.

This way everyone has a spot to leave their glass so mom doesn't wash it when they leave the room.

Stuffed toy storage

Old DVD or tape rack repurposed into a stuffed toy storage :-)
My boys have so many stuffed treasures that sometimes it gets out of hand. This rack helps contain and display all my boys stuffed toys.

Candle

I love making cute candles for the dinner table.
Tonight it was windy so I got out mason jars so my tea lights would stand a chance.
I wanted something to add to the jar and tea light so I scrounged my pantry. I decided these pinto beans would work perfectly.
Anything would look cute; rice, beans, peas, pepper, the skies the limits.

Easy and adorable!
My sister in-law made this for my nieces fourth birthday party.
It was SO cute and could be any theme.

-flower pot
-2 foam balls
-wooden dowel
-bag of suckers
-decorations

Place half of a foam ball in flower pot.
Poke stick end of suckers in the whole foam ball till covered.
Stick dowel into bottom foam and sucker top. Decorate accordingly!!

Towel label

Label your family's individual towel hooks so there is never any confusion.

All you need is a dry erase marker and good penmanship :-)

Simplistic success!!!
