Secret Message Lunch Notes

Maybe it’s because I grew up in Florida with a grapefruit tree in my backyard, but I’m a snob when it comes to juice. I absolutely love orange juice and grapefruit juice, but I want it to be fresh. Natalie’s OJ is seriously the BEST and it’s made with 100% Florida oranges. So of course I was thrilled to partner with Natalie’s to bring you these fun back to school notes.

Little Artist Costume

There’s something so adorable about kids dressed up in costumes. When I first learned that the Michael’s Makers Challenge for the month of October was to make your own costume, I had too many ideas. Especially as a blogger it’s easy to start worrying about coming up with something totally unique or original.

Free Printable Bat Pillow Boxes

Free Printable Bat Pillow Boxes

  Pillow boxes are some of the easiest boxes to make, because they require very little cutting and you only have to glue/tape them in one place. They also store flat and take up no space, and when you’re ready to use them, you can just pop them into place. I’ve shared a number of other Halloween themed pillow boxes last year including friendly monsters, jack-o-lanterns, mummies, Dracula, and Frankenstein. (These

DIY Post-it Note Confetti

This idea is so simple that I almost didn’t post it (pun not intended haha). But sometimes when I’m photographing a project I’ll think at the last minute that confetti would be a nice touch. Usually I’m rushing to get good pictures before the light changes or a certain cutie wakes up from his nap, so I don’t always have much time. So I started cutting up Post-it Notes to make

How to Take White Background Pictures

How to Take White Background Pictures

  Probably the number one questions I get asked as a blogger is, “how do you get your backgrounds so white.” I absolutely love white backgrounds and I often even obsess about getting that perfect white without the picture looking over edited. White backgrounds seem simple, but if you’ve ever tried to photograph on them you probably know they are actually really tricky. Part of the reason is that the
