I recommend priming your sheets of plywood FIRST, then tracing your outline of the characters and then cutting them out! It makes it easier to see the image if you’re using a projector, and then it’s also easier to see your outline when you start painting!

DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹 I made two of these th DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹
I made two of these this year, one for my dad for his 80th (lol) and another for my toddler! I thought it was super a cute keepsake, and not very difficult, so I’m definitely going to keep making these for kid’s birthdays! 🥹 #birthdaycrown #keepsakegifts #birthdaytradition #slowliving #toddlermom
DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 I love the look of th DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 
I love the look of the terracotta pumpkins, but knew I could DIY it for less 😌
Just mix up some baking soda into paint until it forms a gritty paste and apply a couple of coats to a cheap plastic pumpkin. On your last coat while it’s still a LITTLE wet, sprinkle on some additional baking soda and dust it around with a paint brush. #falldecorations #diyhalloween #halloweendecorations

I’ve never been super intentional about decorating I’ve never been super intentional about decorating my bedroom but with baby number 2 on the way, I now recognize that I need a lovely space to rot in the newborn bubble 👶 today I’m tackling bed styling (we have a king sized bed for reference). I tried my best to keep it on a budget bc WHYYYY are pillows so expensive??? #bedroomstyle #pregnancy #roommakeover
I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/hi I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/high protein breakfast muffins often in my first pregnancy and honestly have enjoyed them well beyond pregnancy! They’re only 5 ingredients and give the bready texture I was missing when I had gestational diabetes. It’s kind of similar to a sausage ball! I normally eat 2-3 muffins for breakfast as each muffin has about 7 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein!

5-INGREDIENT SAVORY BREAKFAST MUFFINS
* 1 pound of turkey sausage (or whatever type you like)
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 cup Kodiak cake baking mix
* 1/3 cup cottage cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In a pan over medium heat, add the sausage and crumble while cooking. Cook until no longer pink. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat. Add shredded cheese, kodiak mix, cooked sausage, and cottage cheese and mix well (mixture will be thick)
4. Fill the 12 prepared muffin cups evenly with the mixture.
5. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top

Recipe Notes
If meal prepping for the week, store leftovers in a container in the fridge. You can heat by microwaving for about 1 minute. I prefer to reheat them by microwaving a couple for 15-30 seconds and then pop them in the air fryer at 350 for 3-5 minutes.

This year I made a felt crown for my son’s birthda This year I made a felt crown for my son’s birthday and it wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it might be! It also turned out to be so inexpensive but something so personalized for my toddler 🥹❤️ #birthdaytradition #toddlermom #kidsbirthdayideas
What I ate in a day at 22 weeks pregnant with a hi What I ate in a day at 22 weeks pregnant with a history of gestational diabetes (my doctors have asked me to be carb-conscious because of my history!) PSA: I’m not including vegetables (unless they are starchy) in this carb count bc my dietician said I don’t need to count them 😌

Breakfast: breakfast burrito with egg, @jonesdairyfarm chicken sausage, tomato, and avocado (I know I should switch to a lower carb tortilla but just let me have this one indulgence lol) + sugar-free @coffeemate in my coffee

Snack: @costco brand protein bar

Lunch: Cannellini bean salad (about 1/2 cup beans in this serving) with tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, olives, feta, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt/pepper + 2 mini naan bites

Dinner: crispy chicken cutlet topped with Caesar salad (love the @chosenfoods dressing) + side of strawberries 

Bedtime snack: @fairlife chocolate milk 🥛❤️🍫
