New Groove Backpack
Loungefly has been giving me all of the Disney bag envy lately! Their stuff is soooo cute! I have been really wanting to try my hand at my own Disney Backpack and decided to make it happen with an easy design (because sewing is the worst and I don't have a sewing machine because I know it will make me angry even looking at it. end rant.). I picked up this backpack from T.J. Maxx, that came in a variety of colors. The red color just screamed Disney to me, and worked perfe

Balloon Garland DIY
Balloon garlands have been popping up everywhere online, and are one of the cheapest and surprisingly, easiest ways to make a big impact at your event! I've tried a few different techniques and think I've finally landed on the quickest and most lasting ways to construct one. Here is the most recent balloon garland I made for my son's Jurassic party. The fake palm leaves were used throughout the party and were a fun texture addition to the balloons. Supplies: Balloons matchi

Royal Fascinators DIY
This post will either make you love me more or be totally annoyed by me. It's true, I'm on the Royal Wedding Train!!! I've been a fan of Meghan Markle from her role on Suits and loved her blog "The Tig" (moment of sadness that her internet trail is gone). Luckily my friends are just as Meghan obsessed, so we're having a "proper" Wedding viewing party on Saturday and I am so stoked! My amazing friend bought British Wedding Bouquet Tea and lavender scones for the occasion.

Disney Hoop Wreath DIY
Any chance I can combine Disney and DIY is a win for me. I realize not everyone is a Disney fanatic...but why tho? Now that they also run the Marvel and Star Wars universe, I'm pretty much committed. This DIY was inspired by my beautiful friend who is getting married in June. I thought it would be a perfect new home, Summer welcome. (She is also on the Disney train with me big time). This was a quick DIY and you could do so many cute color combos with the flowers and ri

Hoop Photo Wreath DIY
When it comes to Mother's Day, it's hard to go wrong with a cute pic of a kiddo or grandkiddo (or a spa day... always a spa day ;) !!!). This project gives a modern twist to the traditional framed photo gift. If you haven't been on Pinterest lately, here's what you missed, Hoops. Are. IN. Usually spray painted gold and adorned with felt or faux flowers as a wreath. They're so cute, but a little generic for a Mother's Day gift. To give it a little twist, this project can

Leather Headband DIY
First off, does anyone else have a difficult time figuring out how to place a headband to look right? Just me? When I was thinking of this DIY, I wanted it to be versatile enough to not just be placed like a standard headband. Having long tie offs makes this hair piece great for a top knot, pony or an all down look and the leather material makes it the perfect neutral for accessorizing. I love it! This project was super quick and cost under $6 with a Hobby Lobby Coupon! S

Letterboard Cards
Hey all you planners (and people who are just realizing this)! Mother's Day is 1 month away!!! This month I'll be posting some modern mama Mother's Day projects to get away from the traditional homemade gifts, that look well... homemade. We're kicking it off this week with letterboard cards that you can personalize to be sweet or silly! To begin this series I want to acknowledge that this day can come with many mixed emotions. While many celebrate with great joy, there are

Hanger Wall Hangings DIY
When you've gotten rid of 75% of your wardrobe to make a capsule wardrobe and have a zillion hangers lying around and get tired of stepping on them or snatching them from your curious 8 month old, you DIY! I love decorating for holidays, but often struggle with putting up fresh decor for the rest of the year, especially when it comes to my mantle. After taking down all of my Easter decor this week, my house was looking a bit bare. Tack that on to being in a post vacation fu

Spring Capsule + 10x10 Challenge
As if doing a capsule wardrobe hasn't been rewarding enough, it jumped up a whole other level when I got to go shopping with my friends for the Spring capsule! It was a day that dreams are made of, 12 hours of coffee, great food, friends and guilt free shopping! It was so successful that we decided to tack on the 10x10 challenge that I'll explain below. Here's how our experience went down and what we ended up with... Pre-shopping we filled out our workbooks that I linked i

Easter Sunday Hair Tutorials
Am I the only one that gets bored with their hair every other day?? When I was a kiddo, my hair stylist would tell me that I had enough hair for 5 people, and it was not an exaggeration. My hair is thick, frizzy and wavy. Not straight. Not that cute relaxed curl. Not the spunky tight ringlets. That area right in between everything. It has pushed me to get really creative, because showering and just walking out the door has never been an option. I am not a hairstylist

Un Poco Loco - Coco Ears DIY
I have been Un Poco Loco for Coco since I saw it in theaters! It is visually stunning!!! And the story, wow! I love Disney but Pixar specifically is dear to my heart. If you want to read more about how Pixar came to be, or are interested in leadership and business, I highly recommend the book Creativity Inc by the President of Pixar and Disney Animation, Ed Catmull. I've been wanting to reread it! Anyways...on to some DIYing! I found a cute flower headband at Target a cou

Mega Letterboard DIY
Letterboards have been having a moment and I have embraced it in a BIG way! I got a Letterfolk letterboard (the people responsible for this massive comeback) 2 Christmas' ago, and it has been one of my favorite things to change in the house. There have been many letterboards popping up but I have to give them the credit for this fun trend! Combine my love for letterboards with my love for celebrating and party planning and the Mega Letterboard was born! The uses for this t

Baby Groot Headband DIY
Let's face it. Girls get all of the cute accessories! I decided to amp up Milo's Disney wardrobe with a playful Groot headband inspired by the movie Guardians of the Galaxy. This was a fun, quick project that I was able to put together the day before we were headed to the parks. It would also be very cute sewn but ain't nobody got time for that. All you need is: Brown, green and black felt (Hobby Lobby) Small foam sheet (Hobby Lobby) A couple cotton balls or batting Baby e
