June Inspiration ~ The Worth of a Woman (& free printable!)

ByMariel

I was chatting with Dan about how I needed to come up with my inspirational post, and did he have any lovely thoughts recently that I could possibly write about. No lovely thoughts. As we were checking out of the hotel, we were pulling our luggage down the hall, past a conference room. Inside the room, I saw something that made my heart sing. It was a banquet for Ms. Wheelchair Utah and other girls and women confined to wheelchairs. In the front of the room, there was a gal, in a wheelchair, speaking to all the girls, sharing her story and empowering them. It was awesome!

Mariel’s Summer Picks 2013 ~ Gift Ideas for Women

ByMariel

I can only go so long without sharing my favorite things. It’s almost painful for me to hold them inside. So, please allow me some relief, while I share some of my favorite things for summer…

Okay, so first I’m a super whitey AND I don’t want to ruin my skin. So, I’m all over a nice fake tanning lotion. A nice one. Non-orange, non-splotchy, and non-stinky…a tough combo to find. But, I think I found it. I am currently in love with my new fake tanning lotion. It’s called Fake Bake Flawless. After reading the great reviews on Amazon, I had to try it (of course), and I’m pretty darn pleased. It’s a lot cheaper than the Xen Tan that I was using before, which was like $30 bucks, or something. This is about $15, if you get it from Amazon. Anyway, so I love that it’s a spray liquid…not a cream. It can be rubbed around lots quicker and the color is a brown shade. No orange here! I even got compliments on my tan legs…in May. That’s a little unusual for Utah, but I took it. It’s almost June, it could be natural!

Ranch Snack Mix

ByMariel

My little Joey is always asking to help in the kitchen. But, he is quickly run over by several older siblings who insist that they get to help too. So, yesterday while all the wild ones were out on the trampoline, I snagged Joey and he helped me mix up this super easy snack. So easy that a two year old can make it!

We just called it Ranch Snack Mix. It’s a blend of all things kids love… pretzels, Bugles, Goldfish crackers, cashews, and Ranch dressing mix.

Paint Tools That Will Change Your Life & PaintStick Giveaway (she: Rebecca)

ByRebecca

I hate painting, always have! I hate the preparation, execution and clean up that come with painting. However, I love how a room can be transformed by a simple coat of paint.

I was lucky enough to buy a home that was mostly painted with bold colors I probably wouldn’t have chosen myself (because I’m a wimp), but that I love! I say mostly painted because the kids’ bedrooms and bathroom were painted white with that awful paint that builders use. I managed to slap some color on the kids’ rooms years ago, but the bathroom has remained white and boring. That is until last week!

Patriotic Painted Picture Frame {with a printable} (she: Jeanie)

Byjeanie

Have you seen these cute wooden frames at Michaels? I spotted them the other day as I was headed to the check-out line. What caught my eye was the price: $1. Yes, one dollar! I grabbed a couple. My crafty mind was spinning thinking of all the ways I could decorate and use these frames: paint, vinyl, stickers, mod podge, washi tape….. Now I have to go back for more!

Since today is Memorial Day, I wanted to make a patriotic frame…
