{ daddy made breakfast }

My husband surprises me sometimes!  I was cleaning house and it left him available to get breakfast for the kids! I ended up putting cleaning aside and spending this fun time with the family! I'm sure you remember making these little things in school but it was such a fun activity for the kids at home and my husband got major cool points with the kids!

What you'll need:

• Fruit Loops
• String
• Tape

Simply tie a fruit loop to the end of your string leaving a 2 inch tail. Make sure your string is long enough to fit over the child's head!

Then wrap a piece of tape around the other end of your string so you can thread it through the cereal easily.

Thread your Fruit Loops on until you have about 2 inches left of string.

Now tie the two ends together! Use a square knot so you don't have to worry about the knot coming out and loosing all the cereal to the floor like our first one did! Remember: right over left then left over right! I had to teach Jake this little square knot trick after the baby yanked his right apart! And we have the " I cook, you clean" rule at our house..... so I got to clean up the mess! :)

 Stylish!

Yummy! :)

{ no slip dress up shoes }

My poor daughter is in love with dress up shoes. Unfortunately, we can never find them with no-slip soles. After a number of twisted  ankles and a few accidental splits, I've found a solution to the slippery problem.

All you need is:

1.  your daughter's slippery pair of heels  
2.  hot glue gun
3. scissors
4. a piece of cupboard lining ( that sponge type stuff that prevents items from slipping around)

Start by cutting out pieces of the lining to fit the bottom areas of the shoe.

Now just put a small amount of hot glue around the edges of the sole.

Now simply place the lining on the sole of the shoe and you're done!

So simple! And now I can be less worried that my princess will fall and break something!
