I love finding creative ways to store things around my home. That’s why I love this DIY Rustic Pallet Crate! You can use it to store extra pillows & blankets, toys, shoes or even in the pantry or mudroom. Annnnd best of all. it cost nearly nothing to make! It’s made up of mostly pallet wood that you can usually find for free. Yay!

You can find out more & download a calendar to put on your fridge over at Mormon.org. It’s not too late to join! I am a den leader for a pack of crazy Cub Scouts at church. ha!

Good morning! Eek! Do you realized that we have exactly 2 weeks until Christmas? Yep! We are running out of time. ha! ;) If you are like me, you are still on the hunt for some of those last minute gifts, too. Annnnd one of the hardest ages to shop for is tweens. Don’t you agree? ;) They aren’t into the little kids things like toys & games, and they aren’t quite big enough for gifts you would give an older child. The good news is that I have found the perfect gift for my own tween daughter. Yay! She is super creative & loves to draw & Sharpie permanent markers have always been a favorite of hers. I found amazing gift packs at Target for an incredible deal, so I wanted to pass it along to you. I also have a tutorial for you today, too! Keep reading, & I’ll show you how to make some cute DIY Holiday Gift Tags to go along with your gifts this year. Let’s get started! :)
