{think outside the blog}

or in other words the real lives behind of some your favorite bloggers!

to Mommy By Day, Crafter By Night & check it out!



I was grateful for the chance to take part in the series.
So if you missed it over there, here’s my think outside of the blog post.

Cole vs. Cameo {guess who won?}

Some of you might remember when
I was super excited to get my new Silhouette Cameo.
I had so many projects & ideas!  Like this & this.  I couldn’t wait to get started! :)
Well, unknown to me my 2 year old, Cole, had BIG plans for my Cameo, too! Ummm…not good!

Just a little background on my little Cole-Man.  He is extremely busy!  Always into something. 
Like the time he put Vaseline in his hair…yep, his hair was sticking up like that for a couple of days until the Vaseline finally wore off.  Then there was the time he put lotion all over his forehead, and the many, many times he has colored himself with markers.  Do you see a pattern???
Yes, usually he is doing crazy things to himself…buuuuuut that would soon change. Yikes!
