Printable Summer Planner + Free Summer Calendar

Be intentional with your planning and goal setting this summer by using this Printable Summer Planner! It’s a great way to get organized and create some structure and routine for your family this summer. I can hardly believe it, but it’s almost summer! And even though school doesn’t let out around here until the middle of June, I’ve already been signing the kids up for summer camps and swim lessons, planning vacations and day trips, and trying to set some goals for my summer at home with both kids. Since we’re expecting baby #3 in October, I’m […]

Every Bunny Needs Some Bunny Printable & SVG Files

This post contains affiliate links – click here to read my full disclosure. You guys, my life has been changed. Okay, I realize that’s a little dramatic, but honestly…I don’t think my crafting life has been transformed this much since I got my Silhouette. I’m talking about my new “toys” that I got this past weekend – a 10.5″ iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and the Procreate App. I have been messing around with hand lettering for a little over a year now, and while I am still very much a beginner as far as skills […]

Spring Home Tour

Well, the calendar says it’s spring, even if the weather around here doesn’t, so I’m sharing a spring home tour with you today! Luckily most of the snow from the big storm last week has melted, though it will take a while for the big piles in parking lots to melt away. At least we’ve had a few sunny days, even though the temperature doesn’t want to climb above the 40s! If you follow me on Instagram and have been watching my Stories, you know that we are knee-deep in a room makeover, transforming […]

“Hopster” Easter Shirt with Free Cut File

Easter is coming! It’s later than usual this year (April 16), but it will still be here before we know it. And in some (highly uncharacteristic) advance crafting, I actually whipped up a fun little Easter shirt for my son! I had seen a few variations of these “hopster” Easter shirts while browsing Pinterest and I thought they were so clever and cute! (Get it…it’s like #HIPster, but since he’s a bunny with hipster glasses and a hipster mustache, it’s #HOPster…heh, heh.) So, I decided to make my own version of the design […]

Not Lucky Just Blessed – St. Patrick’s Day SVG

St. Patrick’s Day SVG – “Not Lucky, Just Blessed.” Use this hand lettered cut file with your Silhouette or Cricut to make a St. Patrick’s day shirt, tote, mug, home decor, and more! Quick confession – I am not really into St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not Irish and my family never had any St. Patrick’s Day traditions, so when I was growing up the only thing that made that day different was digging through my dresser to find a green shirt to wear. Quite honestly, it’s stayed the same as an adult! The only real “celebration”… READ MORE
