Inspirational Printable – A Quote From Duke Fergerson (she: Sharon)

This is Sharon again from Lemon Squeezy, and this month I water-colored a quote that I love. Duke Fergerson is a retired professional football player and said this during an interview back in 1988, which was originally advice from his mother. I’m going to put this inspirational quote up where my kids will see it a lot and hopefully it will be something they always remember.

S’Mores Caddy {With Printable Label} (she: Brooke)

I always want to make summer vacation a fun, memorable time for my boys, and that usually means I have to start thinking about it NOW! Not to say I sit down and plan every minute of every day during their break, but I do like to have a few things set and organized just to make the three months run a bit more smoothly, and be as enjoyable as possible. Organizing our treats in this S’Mores caddy is one little thing I can do to make my life easier.

How to Make a Dress From Pre-Smocked Fabric – In Less Than an Hour! (she: Cami)

Hi! It’s Cami from TIDBITS, and I’m so glad to be here again today! I’m going to share with your how to make a dress from pre-smocked fabric because it’s that time of year again.

The time when you pull out your kids’ clothes for the warmer months – only to realize they have outgrown every item of clothing from last season.

And you reflect on the fact that they are growing faster than the weeds outside – and that is saying something.

Or is this just me?

Desktop Wallpaper Download (she: Sharon)

Hi! It’s Sharon from Lemon Squeezy again, and this month I have a free desktop wallpaper download. I love clutter-free and simple computer wallpapers (it helps me see all the files and folders in a more organized fashion), and I love mid-century modern. There’s nothing better than having a fresh desktop staring back at you, especially when your email inbox is the exact opposite.

The Best Journey Takes You Home {Printable} (she: Brooke)

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit of a home body. Going home after a vacation, going home for the holidays, going home after a long day at school or work. I have yet to find anything that replaces that special, familiar, comforting feeling of returning home. I want my boys to have that same feeling. I cannot wait to see what life has in store for each of them. I know they’ll go out into the world, have many experiences and adventures. But as a mother, I want nothing more than to create an atmosphere in my home that invites them to return again and again.

April 2015 Visiting Teaching Message Printable (she: Kiki)

First of all, let me explain visiting teaching. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are in a congregation where we are asked to go and visit certain ladies each month to really get to know them, share a quick message and find out if they have any needs that need to be met. It’s one of the ways we build friendships and help our leaders know any needs that families have. (There would be too many for them to visit them all!) So why do I love printables + visiting teaching? I LOVE putting to paper thoughts and quotes that inspire and uplift me, my family and those around me and visiting teaching has been such a blessing in my life. I have met so many incredible women who have blessed my life through both visiting teaching and being taught as well! I love the thought of leaving a little thought for them to hang up and think about throughout the month.

DIY Spring Wreath (she: Susan)

Hello! Susan from Love of Home here, I’m so happy to be bringing some Spring inspiration today. I have a simple DIY Spring wreath to share with you. This is an inexpensive way to freshen things up. I always try to make our home warm and welcoming. I think a wreath on the door or in the entry does that perfectly. This one was created for our mudroom. Do you need inspiration for your wreath? Try looking through a magazine, or check out Pinterest. I love to start with a simple grapevine wreath. The one I used is from the Target’s bargain aisle for only $3.00.

I don’t know about you, but I am officially over winter! Spring fever is hard to catch with all this cold and snowy weather we’ve had (and I live in the south!) but I’ve started to dream of green grass, flowers, and bright and sunny days anyway.

I love adding a little extra color to our home this time of year, it gives me hope that color is soon to be on they way 🙂 Today, I wanted to share some quick ways to add color to your decor on a budget.
