Scarf Tutorials

My 11 year old daughter, Mackenzie, and I love to wear scarves so when I came across this video on the Money Saving Mom's website, I knew I had to re-post it for later reference ;-)


 

Making scarves from t-shirts has become really popular lately. I just came across this great post on "My Blessed Life" that has 10 t-shirt scarf tutorials. My girls recently had a craft date with some friends and they made some super cute scarves from old t-shirts...


It was so fun and I think they turned out great! They are a fun way to recycle, too!

A Little Summer Fun

Here's a little bit of what we've been up to lately.

My super silly nephew, Luke, turned 5 and we celebrated his b-day at a jump house in OKC...





We had dinner with friends at our favorite restaurant, Ted's...


Then "Mr. Brett" took us to see the airplane that he flies for his job...


We celebrated Father's Day with Steve's family and of course, the grandkids went swimming...


The girls had their first Swim Meet. Go Kenz!




Go Abby!




We went blueberry picking at Thunderbird Berry Patch in Broken Arrow...


And we made Blueberry Banana Bread with the blueberries we picked at the patch. You can find the recipe here. Yummers!


We went swimming at the Dossett's, a retired teacher and principal that has taught swimming lessons out of their home for many, many years. Everyone in Owasso knows and loves the Dossett's! We also made some yummy Sun Baked Smores. Messy but goooood! ;-)








And my sweet friend, Steph, came in town for a brief visit so we had a little reunion get-together playdate at the park...







Gotta love summer fun!

A Few Random Recent Pics and Updates...

About a month ago, I decided to ditch my blond hair and go brown. For the first time in my life, I was no longer a blond! Honestly, it kind of freaked me out for the first few weeks because it was such a huge change but now it's grown on me. I do like it but will most likely go back to blond because I didn't think about what my hair would look like with new blond growth! Oh well - it was fun for a season :-)

I celebrated my friend, Kelly's, birthday with a group of girlfriends at a local Mexican restaurant. Isn't her cake super cute?!
"A" trying on a few accessories at one of the girl's favorite stores...
Playdate with friends...


"A" played soccer against one of her good buddies - and they are still friends! :-)
"M" is "A's" biggest cheerleader at her soccer games...
I painted a big 6' canvas for Classroom Corner. They will use it for their princess-themed birthday parties and story time. Some of my other work can be seen here :-)

The girls love to paint, too, any time I break out my paints...
I've been training for the Tulsa Run & on this particular day the girlz decided to give me a foot massage after a long run. They even brought me my robe and a warm blanket! What nice pampering from such sweet girlz :-)


Dance class...




Homeschool Gym time at Elite Gymnastics
The girlz love to race to the top of the rope...
