Last summer my mom handed me several of my brother's t-shirts from his childhood. Some of them I have added to Michael's t-shirts, but she had asked for these three t-shirt to be made into some type of wall art for her Christmas gift. The big thing was that she didn't want the shirts cut. So, what to do when you are not allowed to cut them? Here's what I came up with and I think it turned out pretty well.
Since it's supposed to be Spring, even though the weather doesn't seem to feel like it, the birds should be starting to show back up. We actually had some birds that were hanging around the neighborhood back in January and decided to make them some feeders so they'd be able to survive. Here's how we made them.
I ended up making this Easter egg garland for a Bunny Hop at Michael's school. Don't know what a Bunny Hop is? Well, look for a post about that later this week. Last year I had no idea so this year I was prepared. Here's how I made this pretty cool looking garland that I'm sure we'll use for many Easters to come.
With the weather slowly starting to turn to Spring, I thought I would share with you some of the outdoor toys that Michael has played with in the past and some he still plays with. Ever since Michael started walking, he's been loving playing in the backyard with all the awesome toys that he's received as gifts or items that I've been able to purchase via consignment sales. Outside play is a must so why not invest in some good toys that will last for several years.
Review guidelines:
1 Fork = I would rather eat dog food.
2 Forks = I
would eat there if I was starving.
3 Forks = Not bad; someplace I would
occasionally consider eating.
4 Forks = A good place to eat; I will
put it into my rotation of places I dine frequently.
5 Forks = One of
my all time favorites!
One caveat to note – I am allergic to fish
and seafood, so if you are looking for those recommendations, you will
have to consult someone else.
Because I have a daughter-in-law with
Celiac and a really good friend who is Vegetarian, I will try to point
out whether those options are present when I review a restaurant.
Because we were getting another snow storm on my normal shopping day, we went shopping after Jon got off work on Friday. I would have rather just gone with Michael on my normal day. Here's what I planned for dinner this week:

So, last week was a flop with getting to the grocery store. Luckily we had food in the house to be able to make some meals. Others were drive-thru. With that being said, we had double the amount of money to work with this week. Since we were starting to run low on some items, we ended up going shopping on Saturday instead of my usual Monday. Here's what's planned for dinner this week:
