DIY Recipe Binder

I am getting my family recipes organized! The recipe binder is going very well for our family and I am glad that I dont have to write them out. Now they can be copied and given out! Yay to no more messy handwriting..What I truly mean is, when you are trying to write, hold a baby, plus eat at the same time.  YOU can also customize your own recipes on google drive and print them out or even share them. Email me at Jlm.customize@gmail.com if you want me to create them for you!

Here is a free weekly menu planner that I created!

Free recipe binder covers on Prudent baby. Have not got that far into creating yet. I will share when I do though.


This is a link to around 50 or so printable recipe card templates to put your recipes on before you add them to your binder!

This is so simple you can even add a page from a magazine or written on pages.

This is a free printable recipe to start you off. (not my recipe or photo) they had no option to print out the recipe. Green Smoothie Recipe from pinterest.

Blessings!

Soap Chunks Diy for Baby Wipes

It is really easy to make these. I made this recipe because I did not want to run to the kitchen every time I needed a new batch of wipe solution for our terry cloth and flannel wipes(handmade wipes) that we use to cloth diaper with. I figured I am cloth diapering why not use cloth wipes too?

All you need is:

Grater- finest is best (I have a kitchen aid attachment)
Saucepan
1 bar of Castile soap (Walmart in beauty)
4 teaspoons of witch hazel (Walmart near peroxide)
1-1 1/2 Tablespoons liquid glycerin
Essential oil- 16 drops of tea tree or lavender
1/8 cup water


What you do:

Grate bar of Castile soap an put into pan on medium heat

Slowly add other ingredients one at a time mix until well incorporated

Simmer until melted into a paste

Line loaf pan with foil, add paste, press down with hands or measuring cup (not too thin) then let it cool

Cut into small squares and place into a jar with a lid. The jar in the picture is stuffed plus there are extras.

When ready to use place 1 chunk into the squirt bottle half cold water then put in the hot water and shake until cube is dissolved. Now you have your Poo la la spray ready to tackle that tiny little tush without harmful chemicals.

Thanks for reading!

                                                 

This is our set up for on the go!

Hand-Made Stamps

Lets make some cute stamps!

Things you will need:

• Styrofoam plate or take out box
• plastic or jar lid ( small-large)
• stamp pad or paint 
• pen or pencil does great (object with a point will work too ex skewer)

• scissors  

First press lid onto the Styrofoam to make an indention for you to easily cut out the size you need, glue to cap, let dry, make design....get to stamping!  Don't forget if your including letters  on the stamp write them backwards.  ( I am not good at drawing.) 

Red Velvet & Blue Cake

This is my version of those flag cakes people make!!

I started to cut the cake and realized oops I need to get a picture. I admit the quality of the photo is not great. ( Notice the icing around the edges melted)

What I used for this cake:

1 Red velvet cake mix

1 can of ready made frosting with a decorating tip

10 blueberries 

Homemade Lunchable

Here is a great idea for anyone! This will help you with portion control and variety. They come with extra dividers so you can move them around according to your meal.  I will be making fabric bags to put these in and selling them on Etsy!!!! All you need to buy is a tackle box and fill it  with lunch.

Here is my 3 year old with her lunch...lol 

Party Ideas: Tinkerbell

These ideas would make great Tinkerbell or Garden Party ideas:

The flower cupcake cups came from Hobby Lobby, and you get about 25 for $3.

The cupcakes are decorated with Fairy Dust (colored sugar)

You can make any color too, look HERE

I decorated the table with a fresh flower bouquet that has purple food coloring

in the water to make it prettier. I also placed sequins in the center of 

a tulle runner then twisted the tulle around so the sequins were in the center.  

Leaving the table with out a table cloth for a more woodsy feel.

I added lightning bugs in glass salt and pepper shakers next to the flowers

                        I tried to stay along the lines of simplicity and it turned out really nice.
                                    Thank you for looking & PLEASE post comments

Birthday Wrapping

I had some scrap material, tulle and a paper bag. This is what I came up with. I made a rosette for the top & my daughter pulled it apart. I think you can still get the idea. Do you think this is cute?

Past Projects

 I found some really cute flat sheets at Urban Outfitters a couple years ago. For some reason I prefer laundry bags over baskets. So I came up with this simple laundry bag that you can easily hang upon a hook or set it on the floor. The wooden ring is removeable and it helps keep the bag open to make it easy for your clothes to be tossed in. Load it up and pull the drawstring to make it easy to carry. (we used to have to take our laundry to a separate building when we lived in an apartment) These can be made into any color  or size.




This bag fits on average 2 loads of laundry. This is a large bag.
