"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."
When I hear this I think of little children. How do you teach children? By involving them, doing hands on activities, reminding them many times.

"A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed up by action makes your dreams come true."
I don't know about you but I want all my dreams to come true. I've started writing down goals and making a plan and I can tell a huge difference on what I accomplish throughout the day.
You Are Destined For Greatness
You are beautiful, smart, talented and deserve everything the world has to offer. YOU are destined for greatness.
"Women are angels and when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly, on a broomstick, we are flexible like that"
Women learn to be flexible between kids, spouses and life in general. I guess we learned flexibility to the next level (;
DIY Framed Spooning Decor
For the last several weeks I’ve seen many different versions of this project on Pinterest. I of course, wanted to make one to. I think it is hilarious and adorable! I think it is perfect for any gift (birthday, anniversary, wedding etc.) and would be a great addition for your own home. I made this one as a gift but plan to make another one for my kitchen since it is so easy, cheap and cute!
I could never find a very good tutorial of how to create this on Pinterest, so (like most of my projects), I created my own method. This is how I made it:
Step 1: Gather
Supplies
- Frame
- 2 Spoons
- Background Paper (optional)
- Printed Saying
- Hot Glue or other strong glue
- Tape or Glue (if you don't want to use hot glue on papers)
- Scissors
Step 2: Cut Out Both the Background Paper and Printed Saying
I found it easiest to plan where I wanted to place the
saying before cutting them out. That way I could make sure to do it the right
size. I also printed out several different sizes of my saying because I wasn't sure how big I wanted them to be. I decided to use crafting scissors
to create a fun border but you can do whichever way you would like.
Step 3: Tape or Glue
Papers to the Background of the Frame
I decided to use tape so that I could move them
around if I needed to.
Step 4: Hot Glue Spoons
to Back of Frame
Hot glue both the bottom handle of the spoon and the rounded
part (where you eat from) using a generous amount of glue. Press and hold for a few seconds to make sure
it will hold.
The End Result
I think this turned out great and I can't wait to give it as a gift!

Dreams only happen as work towards them, stretch yourself and reach high. It is just an extra bonus for some delicious cookies!

I love this quote! Anytime I hear it the Nickelback song "If today was your last day" plays in my head. Every day is worth living. So what will you do today too make it worth it?

Get Naked From Yay Prints
I love quotes and sayings in my house. I love how they show my personality through a few words. This week I added to my collection using one of Courtney's photos from YAY Prints. I also had a chance to interview her. I was able to learn where she got the idea for her new collection and why she started her business.
1. What made you want to start YAY Prints?
Last
year I started working from home. I spend a lot of time on the computer
answering emails and phone calls. Designing prints was my way to blow
off some steam. I had so many ideas that I decided to open YAY prints etsy.
2. Why did you go for the digital prints instead of mailing them?
There are a lot of benefits for going digital. First! It's a lot cheaper to go and print it yourself vs. buying the print and having it shipped to you. My customer's can worry less about the package being damaged and waiting for the package, digital is delivered to you instantly! PLUS my customer's can print it as many times as they want and give it to others for gifts, or use it as a phone background, or computer background.

3. How do you choose what to make the prints of? (they seem all very positive, is that a theme)
The
inspiration from my prints come from my daughter! It's important to me
that she sees the beauty this world has to offer and that she recognizes
the good. A lot of my prints are so she can see and read the prints in
our home.
