things i'm lovin' this week (kids edition).

1- DIY pretend makeup. Yet another Pinterest crafting inspiration (so I can't at all take credit), but I made these pretend makeups for my daughter and she was so excited when I gave them to her! It is wonderful when you can reuse items that would be trash & in turn make you kid smile & fuel her imagination.

  • Supplies:
    • Old nail polish (that you can no longer use to actually paint your nails) 
    • Empty makeup containers
      • Basically, just clean out the makeup containers. Then pour the nail polish (careful not to spill out the beads on the inside of polish) into the containers & let dry. 
          • I made the swirls simply by of course pouring in a pattern using a different color. 
          • TIP! : they take a lot longer to dry than I had anticipated. I let them dry for about 2 days before handing them over to Madeline. 



2- our brown bear, brown bear themed breakfast.  Made for a great way to start the day & she loved it!
  • Supplies:
    • Banana
    • Blueberries
    • Toast
    • Apple Butter
    • Eggs
    • Honey
      • The bear is pretty self explanatory on how to make, but I made some eggs that a bear would for sure be excited about! We drizzled honey on the eggs instead of using ketchup! Can't wait to find another themed breakfast to create! <3



3- high fivin' myself for completing some projects i've had on my pinterest "ideas" list & making my daughter smile! <3
