Last weekend, we gave my sister, Chelsea a bridal shower in my parents back yard! It was a blast! It was brunch themed! 

I got some matching dresses for my girls at Old Navy for the summer. I love them!

I made a Summer Bucket List in our kitchen on our chalkboard walls! I love having it up as a reminder to seise the day! 

Father's Day was a blast! We celebrated my hus by going to Chipotle with friends from church. After lunch we took our girls to the pool! Our favorite summer spot for our family! The girls are in their glory in the water.

Last night, we got to go on a date! It was lovely. We went to a local restaurant, ZZest for an amazing dinner. They have the best patio for outside dining. I had roasted cauliflower, swiss chard, raisins, and cheese. I got a rhubard dry soda too! Yum. After din, we went to the movie, Man of Steel. It was a great night to celebrate us. Thankful for our friends that watched our kiddos. 

Did you do anything fun this week? Any fun plans for the weekend? Happy Friday!

Nail Art Tutorial

I have been wanting to make a fun nail art piece for awhile now! I thought it would be fun to have a monogrammed "c" in our house for Cass. So last weekend, I made two of them. One for us and one for my sister's bridal shower. I made hers with a "j" for her new last name. it was a really quick project. I took less than 30 minutes! I think it turned out super cute!

Materials needed:

wood (I picked mine up at Michaels) It was a couple of bucks. I got a round and rectangle one. 

spray paint (i chose gold! I sprayed it two days before I needed to use it; so it would dry completely.

scissors

embroidery floss (at least 3 colors) You could use twine/hemp/thread too!

nails

hammer

pencil

 I started with drying the letter lightly with a pencil. I then hammered in the nails.

Once nailed, I started weaving the thread through the nails. You can do any pattern you desire. I did it really random. I knotted the begininng and end of the thread.

Repeat with the other two threads.

With my sister's, I used teal/purple/pink thread. With mine, I used yellow/green/turquiose. I love how it looks! My sister loved hers! 

 I hung mine up downstairs in our family room. I like the contrast against the grey wall. I am working a little gallery wall by the C! Stay tuned for pix on that! 

Tag me on instagram if you make this too! I would love to see it. Happy crafting!
