Valentine Activities

I had spread out all our Valentine activities through out the month and instead of posting them in individual posts I decided to combine them.

Early in the month we had some snow fall. I had been wanting to make snow cream, so I ran out stuck a bowl in the front yard and snow cream was made (tutorial to come)!! Mackenzie loved it, and since I added valentine sprinkles I felt this made it a valentine activity.


Week before Valentine's day we made glitter hearts.


One wall in my kitchen was screaming for a big chalkboard. Since I haven't been able to find a frame I liked to make my own I made a cheap one to use until I find the perfect frame (tutorial to come). Mackenzie decorated the hearts. Essentially, I just cut out a bunch of hearts from construction paper, taped them down and let her "paint" the glue on, then glittered. She loved it!!

The day before Valentine's one of Mackenzie's friends hosted a tea. So we went to that, there they got to make valentine's and eat pink cinnamon rolls.



Finally, Valentine's day. Mondo and I decided we are going to make a shutterfly book. We just haven't done that yet. Hopefully soon! Here is what we did get each other and Mackenzie.



We were going to make Red velvet pancakes, then Mondo mentioned donuts. So we went to a local donut shop, so fun and cute!!


Of course after that we went to the gym but not before taking some more pictures.



That concludes most of our Valentine's festivities.
I have a ton of posts coming up you won't want to miss out! A new series fight like a girl, new one piece four ways, one diy, and a weight loss update!

I love because He first loved me,
Dorinda

Remix the wardrobe


Sometimes when you can't go shopping and are totally needing to,but the budget won't allow it, or if you have a favorite piece but are tired of wearing it the same way all the time. It's time to remix the wardrobe. Here are a few pieces I have remixed for FREE!!



Denim jacket: This was a cute piece on it's own just a cropped jacket with 3/4 length sleeves, when I saw denim vests popping up like cray cray. I wanted one, unable to just go out a buy one. I took some scissors to the sleeves. I LOVE this piece. I wear it more now than before.




Skirts: Both of these skirts were okay dresses. The white and pink one was a halter top and the purple was a cover up from old navy. The white and pink one my mom cut down and added a zipper. The purple one my mom and I did together. We cut off the top and attached it to thick elastic.




Dress: this dress was a maxi, I chopped it, hemmed it. Viola!! A great dress!!

Half see through Maxi: This one I took pictures as I did.


Flip the skirt inside out and figure out the length you want the inside skirt to be, mark with a pin.

Separate the 2 layers and carefully cut a straight line where the pin is. 




Fold and iron a 1/4 inch on the bottom and sew a straight line (this keeps it from curling)

All done





New super cute maxi for FREE!!
