I saw on Pinterest how to make DIY snow…it looked so fun (and it was so easy) I knew this was a perfect late afternoon activity. You know, the kind of afternoon where destruction ensues and your child is in nothing but their diaper from a day of snacks/lunch is all over their outfit. 😉
Whip out your bar of Ivory soap and have fun! Hope you moms, grandmas and teachers enjoy! Fun for all ages!

I always have a few lazy susans around the house…they come in handy for so many things! This one is my favorite because it’s cheap…and works. 😉

If you are looking for some of the items featured in this video, they are linked below. Our chop block comes from Wood Welded which is a store in Michigan (my home-state). It is an extremely high quality product, and no, I am not affiliated/paid/perked to say that! The exact price depends on the size you order, but typically an item like this will set you back $50-$100. You know me, I’m CHEAP, and in my opinion, this is worth it to have a quality piece. Ours was a wedding gift and it is one we use daily.

My favorite Essential Oil
Life is stinky. Period.
I wanted to share with you my DIY Air Freshener that’s just three ingredients…most of which you probably already own! You can download and print the labels below and try it for yourself. Take that yucky aerosol cans!
The ingredients are water, baking soda, and lemon essential oil! That’s it. This 4 oz-er of essential oil should last you, oh I don’t know…forever. My favorite essential oil is lemon, but you can be fancy 😉 You could try peppermint during the holidays or your favorite scent. You can find smaller quantities at craft stores, but they are more expensive over time.
I also use essential oil for a bunch of other cleaning, so it’s multi-purpose!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some of you may ask about this, so I wanted to clear the air (so to speak 😉 ) Because you are using baking soda, you might notice a slight, white residue on surfaces you are spraying. This is a GOOD THING. This product is best used on upholstery and carpets (I don’t recommend it for hardwood or tile floors, although it won’t hurt them). The baking soda will continue to trap odors after the lemon scent has dissipated, and the very fine white powder will come up when you clean, dust, or vacuum. Baking soda is sprinkled on carpets and upholstery by professional cleaning companies all the time to trap odors. You probably won’t even notice it unless you have very dark fabric/carpets!

I have always wanted some of these spring dividers from Container Store/lots of other places. Apparently they are awesome and work really, really well… like nearly 5 stars well. Almost anywhere I’ve looked. Pretty darn solid.
As much as I dream about owning them one day, rather than shell out the money (because you know you can’t just get ONE…these things are like potato chips), I decided to try my hand at making my own. And I am so glad I did. They were so EASY to make. The whole process probably took me 30 minutes start to finish? Easy peasy, and the result is awesome.
What I used for this project (click to learn more):…and YES THE DOLLAR TREE CARRIES FOAM BOARD! You’re welcome 😉
They are sturdy and professional looking… and I want to keep doing this to all of my drawers!
Here’s how to make them step-by-step…day by day by day….;)
