Welcome To my NEW Blog!

This is my very first post on my new blog! I had a blog called The Crafty Navy Wife, but I felt limited to only craft posts. So I decided to make a fresh start. This blog will be home to all forms of my crazy! My life, my family, and my projects-both the successes and the disasters! I am always working on one project or 4... and life always seems to interrupt. I am a master procrastinator, but it makes it that much better when I finally finish something! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Easy, edible bath paints!

I am all for my toddler exploring her creative side, just not the mess that goes with it. I've seen a lot of articles and blogs boasting about bath tub paint or crayons.

Quick, easy, fun, no worries if your kid eats it, like mine did. And it easily washes right down the drain!  SUCCESS!!

No sew TuTu gown

For something so pretty, this dress was so simple to make! Recently I went home for a visit, and while we were there I scheduled to have photos taken (if you're in the Florida Panhandle I highly recommend Jesus Nieves Photography!) The night before I had the bright idea to make a dress for the pictures. I had no supplies with me, so I set out for the easiest dress I could find. After a few google searches and a trip to Hobby Lobby, I had the stuff to get started.   I purchased 3 yards of white tulle, 3 yards of purple tulle. A purple crochet headband, some ribbon and a pretty bouquet of flowers I found in the wedding section on clearance! I spent less than $20!  I started off by measuring Annaliese from her armpit to her feet, then doubled that number, and that's how long I cut the tulle. So if it was 20 inches from armpit to floor you'd cut the tulle into 40 inch sections. Then I took those and cut them into 6 inch strips. This was actually the 'hardest...

Homemade laundry detergent

My daughter was cursed with my sensitive skin. When she was a baby, washing her clothes in special detergent wasn't enough. If we didn't wash our clothes in it too, when we picked her up she would break out in a little red bumpy rash. I loved Dreft, but that stuff is insanely expensive! I tried lots of hypoallergenic, "gentle", baby friendly detergents, but I never found one that I really liked. Some still made her break out, some I felt didn't get everything really clean. Hubby's uniforms get pretty gross, with jet fuel, oil, and other messes, I needed something strong enough to handle that funk, but gentle enough for my baby's skin. I didn't want to have 2 or 3 different detergents hanging around. I wanted it all in 1 product! Apparently that was too much to ask for, so I set off to find a 'recipe' for my own. I came across so many, some were way more complicated than I was willing to commit to. I stumbled upon this one. It's amazing! I s...
