Sweet & Simple Artwork for Pennies

-
My preschooler is at the age where she no longer wants anything babyish because she's "a big girl now". This includes the nursery rhyme decor that we had on her walls.


I really didn't want to spend a lot of money on  prints but wanted a personalized look. 


She is really into princesses right now. I went to a local department store and found a calendar on sale for $2.97.  I already had picture frames from her old artwork that could be reused.




Steps to making homemade artwork:


  • Cut out pages

  • Either place pages directly in frames or cut out images and place in a collage
  • Another idea: scan your child's artwork and then print on photo paper for less than what you would pay for store-bought art


    If you're child is old enough, have him/her help you. As your child grows and interests change, so will the artwork!

    I'm always in search for a fitness routine that is quick, fun, engaging and gets results. I have a little confession...I'm a self-admitted infomercial junkie and have tried everything. I think I may have every exercise DVD program that has come out in the last 15 years - The Firm, Step, Urban Rebounder, Slim in Six, Core Secrets, 10 Minute Trainer, Windsor Pilates, Zumba, Jillian Michaels Shred…I’ve got ‘em all.     I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about barre fitness.  For those that don’t know what it is all about, barre fitness is body sculpting and toning based around a ballet barre.  This sounded like nothing I’ve tried before and was intrigued. Angela Vernaglia, founder and owner of Mind Body Barre Fitness & Healing invited me to try a class! I was so excited yet admittedly a little nervous. I really didn’t know what to expect. First impressions were positive! The studio was super clean, crisp and had an ultra-relaxing v...
