Chocolate Banana Milkshake

So as I am trying to find my 'place' in this blog, I have decided after much thought that I will make this a craft, cooking and mom blog. As those are the things that I am these days.
I can't craft all day everyday and feel this blog needs more attention so here it goes!

This milkshake is to die for! I was in on cloud 9 for approximately an hour plus :]
I was making a banana drink I often had when I was younger. Though I believe she put sugar. I didn't think it was necessary as I used ripe banana's and it was fine. So I was mixing and a light bulb went off....Add chocolate!!! And my face lit up.


This is My version

Chocolate Banana Milkshake


2 cups of coconut milk (You can do any milk)
2 small banana's frozen or not
1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder (I used Trader Joe's, Its cheap!!!!)

Blend all together and you have happiness in a cup!!!

Enjoy. This is so easy and yummy I love it.

Next post will explain what challenges we have and the reason I have found my love for cooking.
Stay tuned...

Can I just brag for a minute??

My son  is to die for!!! He is so stinkin cute I really don't know how I  was so lucky ;] Ok, ok I'll stop already!

Hope all had a Happy St. Patrick's  Day <3

Lace Letter M

I bought this letter at Michael's a while back on clearance. I liked it but I felt like it needed some sprucing up. I immediately thought lace! I love lace, who doesn't? To be honest though, I was nervous oddly. I didn't know how it would turn out but I love it! It gives a new feeling to the letter M!

Start with a letter:

                                                      Find some old lace hanging around:

 Tie knots:

Scatter colors:

And you have a cute lace letter to hang on your wall or in my case on my little picture table.

I think I am gong to add a fabric flower as well!

Enjoy :]

Feel Quiet Book

I have made a few quiet books in the past and wanted to do a feel book like the ones you see in the store. Well I was thinking of doing it with a circle of the 'fur' but it didn't fly so well so I did the whole cut out. (It will make sense with pics!)

Its not perfect but its why I love it! I took images online and just printed and cut them out. Super easy! Google bear vinyl or something and print one you want! For the material, I scored at a rummage sale that had lots of different fabrics. I love a good sale! :) But be creative, stuffed animals work great and random fabric from hats, wallets ect!

I took 2 piece of the felt and sewed the edges. I hot glued the cut outs because I did not want to sew them all. I made 3 books and my hand thanked me!!!
Once I was finished with the book, I sewed all of the pages together!
Simple simple simple! It didn't take much time and I know my little guy will love it when he gets a bit older!

Enjoy <3

The Lioin is not finished. Its why it has taken me so long to post this! I still am not finished but you get the idea :)

 I love these feathers!!!

I hope this has inspired someone! My next quiet book will be for church! I have done one page to date and its been on the back burn so hopefully I finish it by the end of the year ;)

Ho Ho Ho

I am such a slacker this year! I had so many plans and had great intentions and I am not sure where the time went to. Well, actually the time went to my little man!

Its been a crazy month! I told my husband that Thanksgiving was yesterday. I have just been busy with other things that I have not been able to craft and my heart wants to!

I am here and here to stay! :) Just hopefully no more excuses. Sadly my Christmas ideas will have to wait til next year...

But and that is a big but! I will have some tutes and fun stuff coming in the next week I promise! 


For now I leave you with this :

Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

Pearl Candles

Christmas Gift number 3
So my sister and I for my wedding made these and I keep thinking of them. They are super easy to make and such a great gift or decoration!

What you need:
candles
pearl pins

If you don't want to get pearl pins, I am sure you can take pins and glue on some little pearls to the ends. And I am sure it's cheaper that way too!

Enjoy!!

Thrift store Saturday

So I am in Love and I mean love with this find!
I don't think I need to say more, She speaks for her self.
Oh she was a whopping $50 bucks, Half off day at a thrift store is better than a candy store :)
