Summer Snack | S'more Butterfly Trail Mix

Summer is coming to a close, but here is a snack you can enjoy year round to remind you of your summer camping trips!

All you need are Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (but I used store brand, TASTES THE SAME, and cheaper if you're on a budget like we are), mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips.

I combined the cereal, marshmallows, and chocolate chips in a bowl and started sorting them into baggies.  To make the butterfly, just divide the mix in the baggie into two sections and put a clothespin between the two sections.

Super cute snack that is fun for your kiddos!
Also great for teachers who teach thematic units!  Camping is always a fun theme!

Enjoy!

A Letter to My Husband

Dear Brian,

I just want you to know what a blessing you have been in my life.  You know who I was, you know what I’ve done, and you’ve never judged me.  You have helped me create a new life that I can be proud of.  You have helped me forget the past and make a future.  I am so glad that God put you in my life and opened my eyes to what an amazing love we could have.  My life has changed drastically since the day you asked me to be your girlfriend.  I started believing in myself.  You made me want to be a better person and made me want to make something of my life.  You have encouraged me and supported me through so much.  You have made so many of my dreams come true.  I have done absolutely nothing in my life to deserve you.  I only have God to thank because only He could perform such an amazing miracle.  I am so proud of who you are and everything you do.  You are patient, loving, caring, understanding, hardworking, and amazing.  I am so grateful to have you as my husband, and as Aurora’s dad.  I have been enjoying my life with you so much.  I know Aurora will love her life with you as her dad, as much as I love my life with you as my husband.  Thank you for everything you do.  I love you so much.

Love,

Arlene

So I made a Youtube channel! Why not? I want to document my fitness journey and my life as a mom. This is the first video I posted a while back.

DIY Washi Tape Disney Wall Art with Cricut

So I am just a little bit obsessed with everything Disney.  Aurora's nursery is all Disney (I basically just took all my Disney stuff out of my office and put it in her room!)  so I decided to add a nice Bambi portrait using wash tape and my cricut!

If you want to create your own, you'll need a canvas.  I just got one out of my craft closet.  It was painted pink because I was going to do a project with it, but I never got around to it.

You'll want to start taping the wash tape across the canvas in the direction you want.

I decided to use a different pattern wash tape to put a border on the canvas.  I also taped down the washi tape that was hanging off the sides and wrapped wash tape along the sides of the canvas.

Now time to use your Cricut.

I got on Cricut Design Space and chose one of the images I had already uploaded.  You can choose whatever character you want.

I decided to go with Bambi.

I put my vinyl on my mat and loaded it into the Cricut so it could do it's thing!

Then I peeled off the excess vinyl and applied the transfer tape.

I used the transfer tape to apply it to my canvas with wash tape.  One thing I would recommend doing, that I did't is cutting more of the transfer tape off just to trim it.  It will make it easier when removing the transfer tape.  You'll have to hold down the wash tape as you pull up the transfer tape so it doesn't come up.

And here is your wall art!! I love it!  It looks amazing in Aurora's room.

I love creating my own shirts and decals using Disney fonts on my Cricut.  These fonts are going to help me a lot, since I also plan on my future classroom being Disney themed!  Fontspace.com and Dafont.com are my go-to sites for famous fonts!  Here are some links to my favorite fonts!

My Disney Playlist

Before Aurora was born, I made her a Disney playlist and I listened to it while I was pregnant.  Now that she is finally here, I play it for her all the time.  Have Disney fanatics in your house?  Here is my Disney playlist on Spotify!

Hope you and your kiddos enjoy it as much as Aurora and I do!

Getting Crafty: DIY Starbucks Ariel Decal

My heart was hurting for a Starbucks Ariel decal, so I filled my hearts desires and finally made one!  I used a Circuit Explore Air 2 and Cricut Vinyl in Silver Glitter and Grape.

I googled Starbucks Ariel and found this image:

I, then, saved it to my computer and uploaded it into my Cricut images.

When you upload it, upload  as a simple image and get rid of all the white sections.

Then save as a cut image.

Once that is done, insert the image into a new project.

I created a circle the same size as the image and placed it as a background.

I cut the circle into the Silver vinyl and the image into the purple vinyl.

Weed away the parts that are white.

Place your silver vinyl on your item, and your Ariel cut out directly on top.
