Gooooood morning! :) It’s a big week at our house. It’s the last week of school, annnnnd How To Train Your Dragon 3 Walmart Exclusive DVD Gift Set is available at Walmart right now. Eek! I was able to pick up our copy yesterday at Walmart. We can’t wait to watch it over & over again. ;) We absolutely love the whole How to Train Your Dragon series, and the third installment does not disappoint! We were able to see the movie in theaters over spring break. It was amazing! Annnnnd I’m sure you’ve heard by now that there is a brand new character ~ a female dragon called Light Fury. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is even a dragon love story. Awwwww! It’s so cute! Well, to celebrate the release, my kiddos decided to make Toothless Slobber Slime. It’s the perfect activity to go along with the movie, and your kiddos will love making it. Let’s me show you! :)

Tip: How to Train Your Dragon apparel & toys are available at Walmart, as well!

Tons of Tips & Tricks for Every Situation

Boy’s Room Refresh

Thank you Fathead for sponsoring this post. Fathead is the source for officially licensed, life-size vinyl wall graphics and more. Choose team or entertainment favorites, or create your very own Custom Creation.

Good morning! Recently my son turned 16! Eek! Either he’s getting old or I’m getting super old! ha! ;) Anyways, as part of his birthday celebrations, we decided to do a little room refresh for him. He wasn’t too fond of my decorating taste. I have no idea why! ;) He plays football, & he is a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys. So, that was our starting point as we looked for inspiration for his room makeover. Annnnd we were super excited to find these huge Dallas Cowboy decals from Fathead. These wall decals are amazing! They are huge, durable, easy to use & you can find so many different designs from your favorite sports team, movies, superheroes & even custom decals! So, let me show you how easy this room refresh was to pull off. Let’s get started! :)

Good morning! Last week one of my best friends & I treated ourselves to a little Mother’s Day splurge. We went on girl’s trip to Kansas City to see The New Kids on the Block // Mix Tape Tour! Eek! My 15 year old self would of been so happy, and I’m not going to lie I was a little bit excited, too! ha! It’s always go to go back in time & relive some of those glory days. Annnnnd who knew that the NKOTB would still have the same dance moves after all these years later?? It was awesome! Oh oh oh oh oh! ha! If you haven’t been yet, it was definitely a concert worth checking out. I think they tour all the way through the summer. Debbie Gibson & Tiffany made an appearance, too! It was awesome for this 80s baby. :) Annnnnd when you go to a concert, you’ve got to look the part. So let me show you how I made these cute tees. Let’s get started!

I didn’t have time to snap a picture of my friend’s tee before the concert, but hers said Hangin’ Tough and mine said, You Got the Right Stuff. I have a picture of us at the concert. You’ll have to scroll down in just a bit to see that & check out her Hangin’ Tough tee. TIP: You can grab the cut files right here over in Design Space, if you are a Cricut user.

For this project you will need:
this Design Space cut file   
glitter iron-on (red)
everyday iron-on (white)
these cute baseball tees from Amazon
Cricut EasyPress 2 
Cricut EasyPress mat
Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2

On Monday, I shared a tutorial on how to work with different types of iron-on materials on the same project. So, I won’t do a full tutorial in this post. You can check that out right here.

Alright, here’s a picture of us at the concert. Cute, huh? :)

We had fun checking out all the other outfits at the concert. We saw quite a few leg warmers, hair bows & lots of fluorescents & side pony tails. Buuuuut I thought we were looking pretty cute in our matching tees. ha! ;) I love the glitter iron-on!
