Are your little ones itching for the outdoors? Summer might mean warmer weather and cravings for adventure, but that doesn’t mean you have to leave your home to enjoy the great outdoors.

Who's getting into the patriotic spirit? I've already started decorating for Memorial Day. Most of these are DIYs. My favorite is this vintage badminton racket. I simply cut off the handle, added a fabric bow and some vintage images using magnets. Literally a DIY in under 5.I found a ton of free printable on Pinterest to frame or display around the house. If it's free, it's for me!Even my favorite Target tray got into the act!Everyday...

Simply add your own saying (I printed mine out using DaFont and cardstock) and slip them in. Instant art that can easily be switched out when the mood or season changes.Jeanine ...
It's been really hard getting into our local thrift store lately. I've been itching for projects, so I've returned to old faithful: Dollar Tree. In fact, every project I'm sharing in this post was made using items from Dollar Tree. And, of course, things I have in my craft room.Some ideas are my own; some are copycats from some of my favorite bloggers.I stock up every time I go now because if you don't grab it...
You may recognize this faux sugar mold candleholder from an older post. It was a thrift store find from 2 years ago. I had originally painted it a robin's nest blue.
