Mothers Day 2017 is just over 2 weeks away! Now is a great time to start thinking about the perfect gift for your mom. Or, perhaps you are going to be helping your grandchildren come up with a special gift for their mom. Today, we are sharing a neat idea that makes a great spring or Mother’s Day project!
A really nice thing about this project is that children can help. Check out this DIY project for painted flower pots.
This butterfly thumbprint art requires just a few supplies including a terra cotta pot, acrylic paint, paintbrushes, a black paint marker, dishes for the paint, and your thumbs! We found this awesome DIY project on the website Mom Always Finds Out. Be sure to check out their website for other fun family-friendly projects!
Gather your supplies (terra cotta pot/s, acrylic paint in your favorite colors, paintbrushes, a black paint marker, dishes for the paint)
Begin by drawing the black body of a butterfly on a terra cotta pot with your black paint marker. Don’t forget the head and the antennas! Next, squirt a small amount of paint onto a plate or into a paint dish. Choose whatever colors you like, but keep in mind that you are creating butterfly wings.
Then, dip your thumb into the paint and gently press it around the drawn-on butterfly body to create butterfly wings. You can continuously use the same paint color for one butterfly or mix it up and use other colors.
You can also mix it up and use yellow paint to add bumblebees to your pot. Simply use yellow paint and dip your thumb into the paint and place it on the terra cota pot.
Once the paint has dried, draw on small antennas, wings, and tiny eyes with your black paint marker.

Attend an indoor concert that interests you and your significant other. You could see a favorite musician, band, or chorus. Concerts are a great date night ideas because you know you won’t get cold!
Take advantage of a snow day by enjoying time outside and creating a snowman. Perhaps you and your sweetie could build a fort. After your time spent outdoors in the cold, bundle up indoors with a cozy blanket and your favorite romantic comedy.
Bundle up and go ice skating! You can visit an indoor or outdoor rink. This is a fun winter activity, especially if you know how to skate. To make it extra romantic, hold hands while you skate and share a yummy hot coffee or hot chocolate afterward.

Heating bills can get very expensive in the winter when the weather gets cold! Did you know that you can save yourself some money by using bubble wrap window insulation? It’s true! Bubble wrap can simply and easily be used in place of a window insulation kit! You really can’t beat the cost either. Today, we will tell you how to insulate windows with bubble wrap, a little bit of water, and a pair of scissors thanks to Knowledge Weighs Nothing.
Measure your bubble wrap to fit the size and shape of the window/s you wish to insulate. Next, cut off the excess bubble wrap. Then, spray water over your window to adhere the wrap to it. Place the bubble wrap on the window with the bubble side facing the glass.
You can easily remove the bubble wrap by pulling it gently. It can be reused for several years, which makes it extremely cost effective (especially if you can get your hands onto bubble wrap for free!)

Although it is hard to believe, Halloween is just over 2 weeks away! Decorating for autumn and Halloween can be so much fun. However, the same old DIY fall decor can get a little boring. This year, why not spice things up a bit with with a rainbow crayon pumpkin!
My very favorite Youtuber, Joey Graceffa, and his pal Tiffany dedicated a video specifically on the 411 on how to create a rainbow pumpkin by melting crayons with a hair dryer! The process to making a decorated crayon pumpkin is simple but a little messy (probably messier than traditional pumpkin painting)! Read on to find more.
Newspaper or some sort of floor cover/wall cover (this is optional, but if you are doing this project inside you will definitely want to cover your floor and the walls around you).
Begin by peeling the wrappers of the crayons you plan to use. You can use whatever colored crayons you want, just keep in mind the colors will bleed together and may create undesirable colors.
Glue the crayons around the top of the pumpkin. You can either break the crayons in half or into smaller pieces as you glue them.
Once the glued on crayons have dried on, turn on your hairdryer and start melting those crayons!
Move the hairdryer around the pumpkin and watch the crayons melt!
Allow the wax to dry, and your pumpkin will be all ready to go!
Happy rainbow crayon pumpkin decorating!

Step outside and take a look around. The sights and smells confirm what we already know; summer is over and fall is here. It is time to take down all those summery decorations and put out the pumpkins, corn stalks, leaves, and berries. Today we have a simple an easy DIY fall wreath craft that you can easily complete regardless of your crafting ability level! This DIY wreath is great because at the end of autumn you can easily winterize it by adding holly, berries , and evergreen.
A small to medium sized tray
Chalkboard paint
A paintbrush
Hot glue gun
Chalk
Autumn branches with leaves
Ribbon or a piece of rope
Begin by painting a layer of chalkboard paint on the bottom of your tray. Allow it to dry. Then, write a message in chalk on your dried chalkboard paint. Attach various autumn-inspired branches and leaves around the perimeter of the tray. You can use items you find in your backyard, or you can purchase branches and other items at your local craft store. Decide how you want to arrange the branches and then hot glue them in place. Finally, tie a piece of ribbon or rope at the top of the tray and hang your new wreath from your front door!

Anyone who owns a home printer knows how expensive printer ink is. Oftentimes, it seems that just as soon as we replace a printer ink cartridge we have to replace it once again! It is a seemingly unending cycle. Depending upon how frequently you print documents from home, you may be purchasing new ink cartridges very often.
Did you know that your cartridge may be indicating that you are out of ink even if the cartridge is not actually empty yet? It’s true! You may be throwing away cartridges that are only partially empty.
However, there is good news!
There is a printer ink reset hack that will help you save money and printer ink. Our friend Brusspup shows you this incredibly simple, money saving hack in the video below! The ink cartridge companies really don’t want you to know about this printer hack because it will help you save money and will force them to miss out on your frequent ink cartridge purchases! You have to try it for yourself. All you need is a paperclip! It doesn’t get much easier than that. Check out the video along with our specific directions. Don’t forget to spread this helpful knowledge to your family and friends and help them save a few bucks too!
The sensors on your PC tell you that your ink cart is empty. However, they may be lying to you!! Use this trick to save yourself a lot of money.
Using the end of your unfolded paperclip, press the small indent above the cart’s circuit board. Make sure you do so gently.
Gently insert the cart back into your printer. Reset the printer status to find out how much ink is left in your cart. The results may AMAZE you!!
Enjoy the savings! And, don’t forget to share this with friends and family. Pass the savings along!!

With each passing day, it is becoming more apparent that summer is over and autumn is well on its way. You can see it when you look around, and you can feel it too. The warm weather is slowly fading away into cooler, crisper, autumn days. These delicious cookies are perfect for those cool autumn days! Give it a try!
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter for approximately 30 seconds or until it becomes smooth. Next, add the canned pumpkin, sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined (this takes approximately 2 minutes). Then, add the egg and stir to combine. Add the flour and combine until everything is thoroughly mixed. Then, refrigerate the mixture for approximately 2 hours or until it becomes dense enough that you can scoop it. When you remove the cookie mix from the fridge, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a shallow bowl or tray, combine the granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Cover your baking sheets with parchment paper or another non-stick cooking mat. Then, use a medium sized cookie scoop to scoop out the dough. Roll the balls of dough in the sugar/pumpkin pie spice mixture. Then, place the cookies on the tray and bake for approximately 10 minutes. Then, enjoy!
