Birthday Banner & Utencil Holders

Jeremy's birthday party is in ten days! Eek! I am so excited for him and can't wait to see what he thinks of his party. Things are really starting to come together but there is still so much to do!

I made a "Happy Birthday" banner using the same basic method as my Christmas banner. Although, this time instead of adding the glitter myself, I used glittered scrapbook paper that I picked up at awhile back.

I'm not really sure how appropriate glitter is for a boy's birthday but I think it looks pretty cool!

Superhero Cape

Today my SuperJeremy finally got his first real cape! No more bath towel capes for this boy. He is flying in style now!

I don't have any photos of the process because my camera is lame and won't hold a charge. It was pretty easy to do though and it was all from scraps of stuff I had laying around.

Above Cabinet Decoration

To fill up the space above the cabinets, we chose something pretty and practical.

These cocktail glasses were $1 each at Dollar Tree. We entertain a lot so it is handy to have extra glasses and by putting them above the cabinets they add decoration and don't take up cabinet space.

To make them sparkle, we lit them up from behind with rope lights.

Now I Know My ABC's...

Today I started working with Jeremy on letter recognition. Here are a few projects I made to help him along.

First, is an incentive chart!

Jeremy's 1st Birthday Party

I am starting to get ready for Jeremy's 4th birthday party that is coming up in a few weeks and it got me thinking about his first birthday party so I thought I would share it with you! It was a jungle safari theme.

Jeremy's smash cake

For the guests, we had one white cake, one yellow cake, and chocolate monkey cupcakes.

School Room

Things have been a bit crazy around here as you may have guessed from the lack of posts this last month! I am back to working on things around the house though and hopefully I will have a bunch projects to show you over the next few weeks!

The first project I have to show you is Jeremy's school room! Since we are going to homeschool, we thought it would be nice to have a room just for doing school work to give him a little more structure and routine. It will also give him a place to leave projects out instead of having to clean them off of the dining table every evening.

Cabinet Re-Do

I have been busy the last couple of weeks trying to finish up the multiple projects that I had going around the house. Yesterday I finished the first batch of kitchen cabinets! All of the cabinets looked like this BEFORE:

Pocket Pillow Cases

Here is the tutorial for the pocket pillow cases that I made for Jer's school room! They are great because they have the tailored look of a permanently covered pillow but are just as easy to remove and throw in the washer as a regular pillowcase!

School Room/Guest Room

Now that I am finished with Jeremy's bedroom it is time to get started on his School Room / the "Guest Room". This is what it looked like when we moved in:

It's still a work in progress but here is what it currently looks like:

Outer Space Bedroom

Jeremy's bedroom is finally finished! Seeing how excited he was about it made worth all of the hours I put into it. :)
