March Visiting Teaching Message {free printable}

Are the months flying by to anybody else??? How is it already March?? Time needs to slow down so my baby STOPS growing so fast. 

You can find this month's visiting teaching message from the Ensign HERE. I so love the lesson taught here, that we are LITERALLY daughters of God. . . meaning we have been blessed with spiritual gifts to help build the kingdom of God here on earth. There is no doubt that woman have a great sense of compassion and sense when others are in need, and I love that through Relief Society we are able to help those sisters around us. I know I have been the fortunate recipient of many sisters help in my ward who have listened to the spirit in knowing that I needed a little boost:)

This month's printable is a 4x6, you can download just one per page (below) . . .

or two 4x6's per page (below). Just click the download button, print and deliver to your sisters!

This was my sad, sad attempt at making sugar cookies for the ladies I visit teach. I told my husband that I think there is something wrong with our oven because I have over-cooked or under-cooked just about everything lately . . . his response, "I guess there has been something wrong with our past 5 ovens than."

His not so subtle way of saying, "You are a terrible cook."

I am going to blame it on the little green guys who are already started to cause mischief around here:)

Lucky Banner {Free Printable}

As promised, here is another St. Patrick's Day printable. I don't have much decor for this holiday so I have to make up for it in printables. Here is a fun LUCKY banner that is as simple as print, cut, and hang! 

I made the felt shamrock's from Paper & Ink's tutorial found here and turned it into garland (since I have no girls to make a cute shamrock barrette for).

Simply click the download button above to download all of the papers. I would recommend sending the file to OfficeMax, Kinko's, Staples, etc. to have printed on card stock (to save on ink).

Cut out each banner, punch a hole in the top corners, thread string through, hang and enjoy!

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day Lucky Shamrock {Free Printable}

Oh, I LOOOOVE St. Patrick's Day!!! Do I begin every holiday with that statement?? Ok, so I love every holiday and love making printables for them:) 

Hint, hint. . . Come back in a few days for another one!

 Not sure what it is about St. Patrick's Day that I love, maybe it is that I get to pretend I have the "luck of the Irish" because I have red hair and green eyes even though I am not Irish. Maybe it is all the green everywhere or that mischievous little leprechaun that comes around. Maybe it is because it reminds me of my sister who almost shares a birthday with the holiday. Maybe it is because of all the fun things I see on pinterest that I get to do with my kids. Maybe it is because it reminds me of working at an Irish Pub in Cleveland where I met a life long friend (also a red head and also the person I write this blog with:)) . . . whatever the reason, I always feel a little lucky when it comes around. And who couldn't use a little luck?

Chevron Coffee Table Makeover

I'm an almost-constant Craigslist scavenger. This coffee table came from the "free" section, and I threw my whole family in the car and picked it up in the middle of a snowstorm.

Here it is "before"... i'll admit it, it's U-G -L-Y!

I had a whole gallon of aqua "oops" paint in the basement just dying to be used!

So I painted two coats and then measured and taped off the top for the chevron.

The chevron color is a combination of the aqua and a little white so that the blue was the same. You can use different colors, or even just plain white, too.

And now on to the big endtables that came with it!
