Tips for mum's 2

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!!
My tips for mum's...and Dad's
This week has some things I have done or I am currently doing...first off and an Idea I am in love with!!!
You simply take an old baby wash bottle  cut a hole in the bottom that's the size of your faucet and cut the top part of the bottle off. Next cut a horse shoe shape out of the back and enjoy! I have a bottle set aside and I plan to do this in the morning I'll post pictures after I have finished :D
Love Love Love this and I have been doing it for a while!
Organize all your instruction booklets from items. Simply put all instructions and warranties along with any other items your may want to save from a product in a three ring binder! Trust me this is the most perfect way to organize all this!
This one blows my mind! Never buy celery again! Did you know that you can grow another complete celery stalk from the bottom piece that you cut off and throw away? I'm actually trying it right now!!! I'll post back in a few weeks on how it is going!! Cut off the end that you would normally “throw away” and then place it in a small dish filled with warm water. Next “pot” the celery stalk (Stalk Side Up) or place in your garden. Just dig a small hole, fill it with water and set the end in the hole, then cover it up with an inch or so of soil. Water thoroughly. That is it! Now the “end” will grow into a full stalk of celery! Rinse and Repeat and you never have to buy celery again! 
This one came in handy tonight! Easy way to remove a splinter! Mistress of mayhem and I both got splinters tonight after a play date in the park...I wasn't so worried about me but Mistress of mayhem was extremely upset about mommy coming at her with a needle....so I looked up easy removal of splinters and found this...and it worked pretty well....apply a paste of baking soda and water, then waiting several minutes for the splinter to pop out of the skin.

Play Kitchen or french toast with shaker cheese!!!!

Growing up my favorite thing that my brother and I played with together was a refurbished play kitchen my grandfather had built out of an old entertainment stand. He used a Pink hospital "puke" basin for the sink in the kitchen and it had simple doors for the fridge. Nothing fancy just simple and it lasted for ever! However being in the military and moving a lot my parents decided to give it away during one of our moves after us kids out grew it...Understandably however  I still miss it.

Several months back I noticed on pinterest an old T.V. stand that was turned into a play kitchen and instantly I knew I had to build one for my kids.

I found two blogs both with kitchens that I love!!!!! Both blogs have picture tutorials as well.
Giggleberry creations and Freshcutflours

I already had lots of white paint so I decided in an attempt to keep it cheap I would paint it white...however I am in LOVE with Fresh cut flowers red version!!!!

I started with an old TV stand made out of oak
I added Some doors..reused the old hinges and moved the
wall over for the fridge and Oven. Cutting out the sink was fun...
I found I can not cut a circle that well lol


Some Paint decorations and done!!! I plan to add more accessories to
 it later I want to add a dry erase board to the fridge and a few other things!

My Master Of Disaster making me french toast with shaker
 cheese lol YUMMY!!!

Over all it took a couple days only a few bucks and my kids play with it EVERY DAY!!!
Time well spent!!!!
