Thor: The Dark World Trailer (Thor 2)

VIA

So, if you did not know by know I am a geek at heart and when I saw the new Thor trailer this morning the first thing I told my hubby was that I will be there at midnight. I am not as young as I use to be and with a toddler at home and now pregnant its very difficult for me to be up at midnight. Also Thor comes out when I am nine month pregnant but I told my hubby that  my water might break at the movie theater but I am not leaving until the movie ends! Of course he just looked at me and shuck his head. Yes, that's how much I love my Thor. So if you have not see it yet, here is the new trailer going around.                   

 

Pull Ups Giveaway!!!!

  Today I have a wonderful thing to help you mom's with your potty training journey or for those who are thinking about starting it will give you the tools you will need.

Here is what's in the giveaway

Pull-Ups trainng pants ( for her or him)

Flushable wipes

Disney softee toilet seat ( for her or him)

Pull Ups was where so awesome to send me my own little kit for my son.

My son was so excited when he saw the Pull Ups because they had car on them and he loves his cars.  Its always fun to have something on the Pull Ups that will keep his attention and he would want to wear. 

 

My son was especially excited about the Disney softee toilet seat. It was the first thing he took out of the bag and started telling about all the car that he saw. I think with having the toilet seat it help us have that extra push to use the bathroom more often. Also I was so happy to not have to clean a potty station. He can just place the seat on the toilet and sit on it like a big boy. The wipes are perfect for those time you need a little bit more than just paper toilet and you just throw it in the toilet. The Pull Ups also had cars and we use them when he went to bed. He loves telling me about his cars on his Pull Ups.

If you want find out how other mom's are potty training then visit https://www.facebook.com/pull-ups or learn more about Pull-Ups go check out the video on YouTube. The video is so cute!

So are you ready to get your own potty training kit?

Dresser DIY Makeover

 CONCORD GRAPE!                                                                          
A dresser gets a new look.  Even though my days are long and my time is limited, I always enjoy the moments and the time that I do have to work in my shop.

After priming the dresser and drawers (two coats) I left it to dry completely and usually I am so impatient. Today I decided to head back to the shop (taking my son along to help) we both sanded the dresser and drawers for a smooth finish. We setup like an assembly line, he sanded I inspected, cleaned off the excess dust and painted on one coat of Concord Grape!. We  continued this until all five drawers had one coat of paint. Two hours, not too bad, now I have a personal assistant for the next projects.

Tomorrow we are heading back to the shop to apply another coat and hopefully we can get to apply two. The dresser will be my main focus while my son (J.T) sands a chair that is ready for paint. So stay tuned for my before & after.

Here are a few photos of our progress:

I love this color, how about you? by Glidden Paints

I mentioned to my client, this piece would look gorgeous with Glass knobs for sure.

Preping is so not the fun part, I want to get right to it. But, i know that you prime first to get that 

fabulous smooth look we all love! 

I love using sanding blocks, and when they are no longer useful, I wrap it with a sheet of sanding paper!

Tip: Sanding blocks keep your fingers from getting scratched.

A sneak peek! first coat, now for the second coat tomorrow and hopefully I am able to

 paint on the final coat depends on how it looks! 

What do you think so far? do you like this shade of Purple? 

I think its will look fabulous a High Gloss finish would look fabulous.

                                                                               

                      I love the Purple, and the look so far. This is showing with a second coat already added.

                                                                                 

First coat was applied lightly, then sanded second coat was added and it turned out great.

What do you think so far?

I am really enjoying this project, i think Glass Knobs for sure, 

what do you think?

DIY Glitter Fantastic Rain Boots

 

 

Today we have a wonderful guest post by Honor from Home Heart Craft. She has a wonderful chic blog with craft under $25, which you can't go wrong. She is sharing her glitter boots she made for her daughter.

Anyone else like to rock rain boots on a nice sunny day? Me and my little gal sure do. I'm thinkin she picked it up from me ;) . We love to plop on our wellies (or goat ropers, as my husband calls them) to do a little gardening or what knot, regardless if there are puddles to stomp through or not. I have a festive pink and white polka dot pair, but poor Lou only has a plainie janie black rubber pair. Perfectly functional and acceptable but not nearly fashionable enough for a gal with this much spunk.  
So, what to do, what to do? 
Say it with me... 'ReFASHion!!!!'

Recently I was introduced to an awesome product called Krylon Glitter Blast spray paint. I created a DIY Glitter Lamp and shade with it and fell in love... hard. This product claims to cover any material (with in reason) with a fabulous coat of glitter and stay put. Things have been 'so far so good' with my lamp so I decided to give it another go. Here is what I did with Lou's $9.00 basic Walmart rubber boots, tips and tricks to follow.


Holy guacamole of cuteness right? She is a full blown fashionista with these beauts. I wanna pair!  I DO recommend giving the boots a healthy coat of clear enamel spray paint after the glitter has dried. This will help to prevent peeling, rub off and cracking. I did a nice heavy coat of the clear and the boots have held up through a couple of wears now. And let me tell you, Lou is not exactly a 'dainty' princess. She is a snail stomping, mud puddle splashing, doggie chasing hooligan. In other words, this shiznit is tough! 




Jump for joy if you love glitter!

Thanks for stopping by! So many fun diys coming up I just don't know where to start! I also have some pretty incredible family fun pics. Even if you don't like the family updates, you will appreciate the sheer awesomeness of these moments in time that we were able to (luckily) capture.

Thank you Honor and I hope you guys enjoyed it.
