Week five : 4th of July tie-dye ice cream sammie!

OK! So if you are anything like me, you LOVE the red, white, and blue, America's birthday and basically any reason to wave the flag and get dressed to the nines and watch some fireworks and BBQ with friends and family all week long! I mean, right?!? It's like the quintessential summer to-do, eh?! :) SOOOOOOO this week, Zeke and I (and his friend Lilia) tried a super fun technique to try and "tie-dye" the inside of an ice cream sandwich. Let's just say that these were SO SO SO fun and so easy and ... continue reading...

Week three :: BIRTHDAY CAKE ice cream sammie! :)

This week my little chef and kitchen helper turned SIX! SIX! I am in the same camp as all the other Mom's that have gone before me saying "WOAH! How did this happen? I can't believe he's getting older and more grown up......!" He's curious and excited and brings so much joy to life.....especially with this summer ice cream sandwich project we have going. SO this week I hijacked his flavor ideas and told him that I was going to make him a Birthday Cake ice cream sandwich and goodness was it ... continue reading...

  • Eggs and flowers and sunshine. Yup, happy Easter weekend indeed! 🥚 . Have you colored or decorated or dyed your eggs yet!? We’ve done a handful of different ones! The bearded ones (from the last post 😂), these hand painted ones (that double as today’s installment of #100daysofhappyflowers) annnnnddd some traditional dyed ones (that are half cracked from a certain toddler that keeps oogling over her color creations and dropping the carton 😳)! . And I also promised myself that this year we wouldn’t “lose” any hidden eggs as we plan our hunt. But good news is that it’s SO gorgeous outside that I’m hoping to do it outdoors so if we forget 1 or 6, then a happy little animal can have a treat! 😂 . . . #abmlifeiscolorful #eastereggs #easter #flowereggs #the100dayproject #creativelifehappylife #abeautifulmess #marthastewartcrafts #abeautifulmess #abmlifeiscrafty #crafty #maker #makersgonnamake #painting
  • I sleep next to a bald headed, bearded beauty every night, so I guess his fashion and stylish looks really inspired my Easter eggs this year! :) 😂 and the *best* part is that portrait mode recognized these eggs on my iPhone….I meannnnnn!!! ⁣ .🥚🥚🥚⁣ If you want to make a set of these no-dye, hipster friendly Easter eggs, the whole tutorial is on the blog, so go get it and give everyone a great laugh around the Easter table! :) ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #easter #eastereggdecorating #easteregg #marthastewartcrafts #makersgonnamake #abeautifulmess #craftingabeautifullife #crafting #creativelifehappylife #abmhappylife #abmcrafty #makersofinstagram #creativepreneur #ontheblog
  • I’m on day 15 of #the100dayproject making #100daysofhappyflowers and so far I have learned some valuable lessons and been reminded of some necessary principals: 👍🏻 Start someplace. Creativity is a muscle and the more you exercise it, the better your talent becomes. 🎨 I LOVE COLOR. Like I didn’t know this already, bit I legit think that the more color I add to my world, the happier I am! :) 🎉 When you learn something new, you *WILL* not be good at it. That is ok…expected even. I think that beginnings and mistakes should be celebrated more, so I am committed to putting work out there even if and when it isn’t incredible. . Cheers to 75 more days ahead. . . . #abeautifulmess #makersgonnamake #abmlifeiscolorful #creativelifehappylife #thatsdarling #livecolorfully #abmhappylife #abmlifeisbeautiful #thehappynow #dscolor #procreate #drawing

  • I am hitting the road to share my story at the @radphotogsretreat this week! I have my colorful pants packed, a suppppppper yummy smelling cake, my latest knitting project (duh) and these adorable handmade donut boxes (more on them later)! ⁣ .⁣ I plan to share about my business(es); my successes and wins, my missteps and mistakes, my hopes and dreams and lofty goals and allllllllllll the things I have learned to get me to right now. Today I am reminded that stories are powerful and sometimes I forget that. Sometimes I forget the power each part of my story may have. Sometimes I forget that I can encourage others, help solve problems, and offer clarity. AND I believe SO SO sooooo strongly that when we open our hearts with vulnerability and truly connect, both me and you are all the better for it! :) ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #abeautifulmess #makersgonnamake #abmlifeiscolorful #creativelifehappylife #abmcrafty #radphotogsretreat #creativepreneur #bosslady #hustleforjoy #livecolorfully #abmhappylife #handmade #thehappynow #craftsposure #crafty #calledtobecreative
  • Now that I’ve learned how to trim a pom into an Easter egg, I feel like I am on the road to adulthood.⁣ Snag this adorably colorful Easter egg pom drink stirrer tutorial #ontheblog and make a whole gaggle of them for your Easter brunch. Or heck, make larger ones for the kiddos to find during their egg hunt in a few weeks. Anytime you add yarn to a celebration, it’s a win in my opinion. Right? RIGHT!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #abeautifulmess #abmlifeiscolorful #Easter #easterbrunch #creativelifehappylife #makersofinstagram #thatsdarling #livethelittlethings #livecolorfully #abmlifeissweet #abmcrafty #abmathome #abmhappyhour #poms #omegacryl ⁣ #thehappynow
  • I blame @aestheticsofjoy for the amount of math I had to do to get these angles right for our newly painted dining room wall! :) But lets just say that I am WILDLY elated to turn the corner of the hallway to see the sun shining on these gorgeous colors tomorrow morning as a hot cup of coffee brews. Pretty much heaven, eh?! :) ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #aestheticsofjoy #abmathome #abmlifeiscolorful #livecolorfully #joyful #hgtvmagazine #bhghome #ohwowyes #colorcommunity #calledtobecreative #thatsdarling #marthastewartliving #rsloves #behrpaint #creativelifehappylife #abmhappylife
