Girls Head band [[D.I.Y]]





HEllo hello! Today I finally made time to make my baby girl her head band for her professional pictures that she will soon be taking. I love the new look of big flowers on tiny heads because it makes a statement. Awhile ago we went to the mall with the attempt of finding  head band that I visioned in my head. I seriously looked at all the stores at the mall and either the head band was too big around her head or the flower didn't pop out as much as I wanted it to. I did see some at another store days later but it was $6+ and not in the color I wanted. So i took it into my own hands to make some myself. like the saying goes "If you want something done right, do it yourself" All the materials I purchased totaled up to $3 per head band. My materials were purchased at Beverly's ( a crafts & fabrics store). You can  find most of these materials at your local fabric or crafts store.

Materials
*Glue gun & 2 glue sticks
*elastic ribbon (your choice )
*flower (your choice)
*one sheet of felt (any color)
*gems[optional] make sure to secure any gems to avoid choking with small children.



sheet of felt


spring flower


elastic ribbon (measure it to the childs size)




 trace a circle on the felt

it will look something like this
trace another one
cut out the circle
hot glue one side ( preferably the side that was traced)
cut the stem off the flower (as close as possible)
should look something like this
attach the hot glued side to the flower
place elastic ribbon on top of the felt
grab the other circle
hot glue one side of the felt
evenly attach on top of the band
glue each edge of the ribbon

fold over the edges one time


Glue both edges together
 
allow it to cool down and have your lil ones wear them




side view
make sure it is not too tight

Hungry for food and want a fun view for you and your family? Well my favorite and my kids favorite "Rain Forest Cafe" the name says it all a restaurant,Bar,& store in the theme of a rain forest. Its filled with animatronics such as Gorillas,elephants, birds & trees. It is an exciting experience for children and adults. I personally love the food there is plenty to choose from. You pay for what you get the plates are large and even the kids menu is plenty for one or two children. My favorite is their rotisserie chicken and their poatao chips. Recently we bought our membership that includes some nice perks like 10% off the store & 10%of the bill or appetizer. They have a promotion going on for the membership here is the link so you can check it out on your own   http://www.rainforestcafe.com/safariclub.asp .  I like it because we can use it at any of their chain restaurants and coming this August will be going to the Rainforest Cafe in Disneyland.

MInimalism & why it works for us

Image
My family and I are almost close to our 1 year of becoming a minimalist family (family of 5). Just as we are approaching the new year in about 5 hours, I'm sitting back reflecting on how and why I decided to take the leap into this new mindset and living. I was tiered.... that's the best way to describe it. sometimes I would sit back and think, Am I lazy? am I so disorganized that these rooms cant stay clean for more than 5 days? How and why did I buy all this stuff? Where is all my money going? I guess you can say the frustration was so overwhelming that I knew there had to be a better way But to be honest I didn't take the first step. My daughter took it for me. She wanted to earn money and I told her if she can clean her shared room up we had a deal. well she did just that she cleaned up her shared space. She bagged everything!! she bagged everything that was hers  as Donation and garbage!except her brothers stuff which she put aside for him to decide. She le

For the Cars Fans

This post is specially for all the little Cars fans. We went to visit the Disney store in San Francisco because we were told that only in that Disney store & Disneyland your child can build there own car which was  inspired by the Movie Cars 2 . I have seen something similar at Disneyland but not with any of the characters in the movie. So basically you purchase the Car and any car parts that you will like, it varies from mufflers , lights, rims, wheels etc. The  price of the car ranges since they also have remote controlled ones. Once you purchase the Car and parts you can choose to either take it home to assemble it or ( My favorite) part is that your child can assemble it in the store where they provide a little mechanics section . Below are some pictures I took inside the store.                                                          Address : 39 Stockton St                                                                        San Francisco, Ca
