:Pinwheel Summer Wreath:


Dear Loverlies,

We are loving us some pinwheels right now! So we thought, why not put it on a wreath? We got our inspiration from  One Tough Mother Blog. Be sure to check hers out! 

The best part of this wreath is it hardly takes any time to make. Happy Crafting! 

:Pinwheel Summer Wreath:







You Need:

Twig Wreath

Pinwheels *we used six*

Burlap Ribbon

Bunting *ours came pre-made*

Scissors

Glue Gun




We found our Pinwheels at Joanns. They were 70% off and attached to wooden rods. The pinwheels snapped right off the rods so it was easy to take apart. The reason we chose to buy these instead of make them are because they are made out of thicker outdoor material. You can always make your pinwheels as shown on the One Tough Mother Blog. We've also spotted pinwheels at our local Target.

 Once you gather your materials. Wrap one piece of burlap around the wreath and hot glue throughout. 


Arrange the pinwheels on the wreath to your liking and glue them down.


Add the bunting by gluing the ends on. Tie a piece of burlap to the top for the hanger.


Now you have a {beautiful} wreath for your door or teepee!


Perfect for summer!

Seashell Tic Tac Toe

Dear Loverlies,

We are getting ready for a beach :vacay: and of course are in need of some FUN in the SUN activities for the littles. We saw this adorable and easy idea from Inspired by Familia and we couldn't resist. 

Seashell Tic Tac Toe





We used materials we had on hand so this didn't cost us a penny. This game fits perfectly in our beach buckets. Keep your eye out for a detailed how-to on how to assemble your very own |beach bucket| on -June 2, 2016- @LollyJane.com. 

You Need:

10 seashells or sand dollars

2 Colors of Paint

Mini Drawstring Bag (found in Target Dollar Spot)

Heat Transfer Vinyl *optional*

Sand to {Play}


First, paint 5 shells one color and 5 the other color.

While the shells are drying, cut a cute image on Heat Transfer Vinyl using the Silhouette or Cricut. We did a basic flag banner with "Tic Tac Toe" inside. If you don't have one of these machines, no worries. This game doesn't need anything on the bag, it's cute as is.




Once the shells are dry, the game is ready to go. Simply add the shells to the bag and head out to the beach or park with your little.

 Play the game in your sandy location by drawing a grid in the sand with either a shovel or stick.




Play Tic Tac Toe + enjoy these times with your little one.

If you live in *sunny* AZ, you can pretend you're at the beach when you're really at the park. Turn on some ocean wave sounds on your phone, {insert laughing face here}.
