Little Cowboy Room

Posted on by

My friend has the cutest little boy’s bedroom for her son. It’s all decorated in cowboys. She has dress up costumes for him to play in as well. My favorite is a novelty horse on a stick that she got for him to ride as he runs around.

She has done a fabulous job with all of the decorations. Any little boy would be proud to call that room his own. The bedding has cowboy boots and cowboy hats on a rustic quilt. It’s in shades of a brick red and brown. She has matching window treatments above the blinds. The walls have decals and a few actual hats hung up above his bed. It’s absolutely adorable.

I want to get something for him that would fit great in with the cowboy theme. I was thinking it could be fun to get him some sherif badges. I bet I could get a little set that includes all of the dress up accessories.

Mini Flower Pots for Lady Bug

Posted on by

After the big mess with Lady Bug and her attempting to plant a garden in her bedroom on her carpet, I decided that I wanted to help her accomplish her goal of having flowers in her room in a much neater way.  This afternoon I stopped off at Target and found some of the cutest little flower pots in the dollar section.  I got a few pots with sunflowers and also a few daisies.  They are only about 1.5″ to 2″ and I think they will look cute on her windowsill.

Whether or not these flowers will grow is really beyond me.  I’m just hoping that it satisfies her desire for growing things in her room without making a huge mess. I also got a cute pink shelf liner that I plan to place underneath all of the little pots on the windowsill so soil doesn’t get everywhere.  I’m sure she is going to love them, especially since I also grabbed a pack of pony stickers for her to use to decorate all of the pots.

Children’s Area Rugs

Posted on by

Today I found the cutest variety of area rugs for Lady Bug’s bedroom.  There were not only rugs for little girls but also for little boys. They had an assortment of popular character rugs and adorable patterns and designs that would look lovely in and children’s room.  With Lady Bug’s room being filled with princesses and ponies I went with one of the non character designs.

The rug I chose is a big circle about five feet in diameter.  It is pink and purple and has stars and sparkles woven all through it.  I think it will even fit her decor as she grows older unlike one of the character rugs.  It’s nice to have a few pieces that you don’t have to change out every time you decorate a room again.

Easy April Fools’ Practical Jokes at Home

Posted on by

April Fools’ practical jokes to do at home are always loads of fun.  Here are a two that you can do around your house.

1. Short sheet: For this prank you are basically making it difficult to get into bed.  Here’s what you do.  Sneak into the bedroom of the person you want to pull the prank on.  Take off the comforter and pillows of the bed.  Next, pull the top sheet off.  Now, take the top sheet and tuck it into the head end of the bed instead of the foot.  Then, fold the end back up towards the top of the bed so it looks like it would if the bed was made normally.  Replace all of the pillows and  the comforter.  When the unsuspecting person tries to climb into bed the short sheet will prevent them from gliding in all of the way.

2. April showers: If your kitchen has a hand sprayer nozzle at the sink this is a really easy prank.  All you need is a rubber band.  Take the rubber band and fasten it around the handle.  This will make it so the handle stays in spray mode.  Make sure you point the sprayer facing out and direct it up.  The next person to use the sink will get a nice shower and a face full of water.

Change Your Clocks for Daylight Savings Time

Posted on by

Two times a year we have to change our clocks here due to daylight savings time.  I don’t really mind it that much in the Fall when I get to sleep in for an extra hour.  But when it means I have to get up an hour earlier tomorrow morning, I’m not really too excited about it.

Thanks to technology I don’t have to change the clocks on my computer or even on my cable box. However, I still have to go around and manually change all of the rest of the clocks in my home. I have more clocks that I realized.  I have a clock in each of my bathrooms, alarm clocks in our bedrooms, the microwave, and a nice wall clock in the living room.  I even have one hanging outside on the patio.  The digital clocks took no time at all to reset, but the analog clocks required me to take them off the wall and rehang them.

Now that I’ve changed all of the clocks in my home, I have to remember to change the clock in the car before I go to church in the morning.  Clocks, clocks, everywhere sheesh!
