Tutorial Tuesday with Firefly Blankets!

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday - If you are new here, this party is to showcase your weekly tutorials. What counts as a tutorial? Anything to "teach me stuff" counts - a recipe, a kid's craft, a DIY project, how you got your baby to sleep through the night ... I'm not picky.

My weekly tutorial: Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

One of my newest sponsors is Johanna, from Firefly Blankets. I have advertising and Tutorial Tuesday space available, check out the details here!

With "green" items all the rage these days, Firefly Blankets is right on trend with her flannel baby wipes and napkins. Keeping a set of these handy and affordable napkins around is so great for our environment!

Did you know...

“If every American gave up just one paper napkin a day, we could save a billion pounds of paper waste from going to landfills each year.” - Elizabeth Rogers, The Green Book

With fun patterns like Watermelon and classy Pine Green, there is something for everyone:




Flannel baby wipes are so soft on your baby's tushie and free from all the chemicals that come with disposable wipes. A pack of 20 Firefly Blankets Baby Wipes is only $20! What a great investment!



Want a recipe for your own natural baby wipes I found on Natural Birth and Childcare website?

* 2 TBSP Baby Wash (choose a natural wash!)
* 2 TBSP Olive Oil
* 2 Cups water

Mix well in a spray bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box.

Imagine a baby shower gift of these wipes with this recipe tucked under the ribbon? Love!

And, of course, Firefly Blankets has BLANKETS! Woot! Just look at this Baby Rag Quilt, it's so soft and cozy:



Check out the Firefly Blankets Shop to browse the rest of her selection, including:

Washcloths
Layette sets
Burp cloths

Firefly Blankets has generously offered a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner this week!

Want to win?

Comment below and tell me about your favorite Firefly Blankets item. Easy peasy, right?

Tutorial Tuesday with The Cat's Paw!

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday - If you are new here, this party is to showcase your weekly tutorials. What counts as a tutorial? Anything to "teach me stuff" counts - a recipe, a kid's craft, a DIY project, how you got your baby to sleep through the night ... I'm not picky.

My weekly tutorial, Forever Sand Castles, can be found by clicking the link.

Let's meet this week's sponsor and newest advertiser, Barbara, from The Cat's Paw. (Do you want to advertise?) Barbara's shop is a sewing heaven, full of gorgeous fabrics by-the-yard, vintage buttons, fabric scrap baskets, and much more!

Just look at a sample of some of my favorite fabrics from Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry, Tina Givens, and more! I lean toward the funky side (in case you didn't already know) and there were lots of great patterns and bright colors.



But don't fret, there are many solids and neutrals for you low-key girls, too. The best part? Nothing is priced over $6.25/yard, and the more you buy the cheaper it can get!

Have trouble coordinating? Barbara holds your hand by offering these pre-coordinated bundles that let you get right down to being creative!



Barbara is always on the search for vintage buttons, she loves exploring the history of them, and says, "I always wonder what they could say if they could tell us where they have been." Check out these Vintage Cranberry and Tan Celluloid Buttons!



And, since sewing is her first love, Barbara keeps herself busy creating and using every piece of her beautiful fabrics by creating these Fabric Scrap Baskets. I could see this one called Aqua Beach Glass, on my coffee table filled with shells this summer.



The Cat's Paw has generously offered a $30 gift certificate to one lucky winner this week! That is plenty for 4 yards of fabric, 3 fabric baskets, or a whole bunch of vintage buttons! Woot!

How to Entertain Your Kids All Summer

(I was gone on a mini-vaca last week - did you miss me? Well, while you were reading here, I was with my boys biking, swimming, hiking, fishing, and horseback riding. I'll show you some pics later this week. So, I'm behind on all of your blogs, but I'll get caught up soon.)

Oh, I'm sorry, did you think I was going to give you a perfect summer entertainment tutorial for you to implement here? I won't do that, but I will give you a small bit of advice from a mom who has attempted to entertain children for 11 summers...

Let them play! Don't schedule them too much with camps and classes. Let them get bored. They will come up with something amazing to do once they get their little brains working. Like what, you ask? Like this...

Kick a ball at the garage door "goalie" in their pj's during a rainstorm.



Try to break a glass with only their voice.



Play all afternoon in a box drawn with chalk and a ball.



Try the peds on their heads during a summer shoe shopping trip.



Eat fresh peas from their pea patch at sunset.



These are what summer memories are made of. Those kids of yours will come up with things you never imagined to propose or plan. Try it, you'll like it...

Do you have a tutorial for me? Tomorrow is Tutorial Tuesday, your chance to link up your own tutorials - come on, come back tomorrow and Teach Me Stuff!

If you would like to host a giveaway for Tutorial Tuesday, contact me!

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday - If you are new here, this party is to showcase your weekly tutorials. What counts as a tutorial? Anything to "teach me stuff" counts - a recipe, a kid's craft, a DIY project, how you got your baby to sleep through the night ... I'm not picky.

Just link up below so we can all pop over to learn something new. Scroll down for my weekly tutorial from yesterday - Easy Sesame Chicken!



You might recognize Gina, fromAcute Designs, since she has hung around here for awhile and I'm so excited to introduce you to her shop!

Self taught, Gina uses materials (satin, chiffon, voile, cotton, silk), feathers, buttons, deconstructed vintage jewelry , vintage buttons, and flowers to create this eclectic line of accessories.

Look at these lovely hairpins - I love the idea of popping a pin in my hair to transform my whole look. The set of three is only $14 - It's so affordable to be cute!



I love this 5 Flower Necklace/Headband - double duty accessories!

Wear it on your head:



Or on your neck:



Look at the detail of this floral hair clip. It's like a little sculpture for your hair!



I just thought of about 25 ways to jazz up my hair and clothes with Gina's accessories - you really need to check out her Acute Designs shop!

Acute Designs is offering one lucky winner a $30 gift certificate to her shop this week...
