World's Easiest DIY Project - Children's Organizer

Ella and Madeline go through over 20 can's of formula each month. Until now I've just been tossing the empty containers in the recycling bin. I've been on a hunt to find the perfect organizer for all of the girls' sunglasses, pacis, hair bands etc, but kept coming up short. Then I came across a pin on Pinterest that used old paint cans for craft supply storage, that's when it clicked, formula cans + scrapbook paper = pretty organizers! If you're looking for some additional information this may be helpful.

What you'll need
* formula can (rinsed well) 
* scrapbook paper
* double sided tape
* scissors 

Instructions:
1.  Remove the label from your formula can. Your can will look like this
2. Measure the height of your can and cut your scrapbook paper to the correct height.
3. Apply double sided tape to the underside of each end of your scrapbook paper.
4. Wrap the scrapbook paper around the can and press the ends down
5. CELEBRATE! You're done! Your cans will look like this:
Easiest project ever. I did all 6 cans in under 15 minutes.

Wordless Wednesday - Messy Day

Lovable Labels Review and Giveaway



If your kids are anything like mine, you’re probably loosing things every time you leave the house. Have you ever had to call the doctor’s office and ask them if they’ve found your child’s favorite pink blanket, and they tell you that they had 5 pink blankets left today? You drive all the way back to the office to dig through the pile that does not contain the favorite blankey, only to get back to the car and discover it shoved under the front seat?  Lovable Labels could have saved you that trip!

Lovable Labels are laundry and dishwasher safe labels for all of your children’s items. They come in cute colors and patterns and can be personalized with your child’s info. Attach them to the care tag in clothing or the outside of your bottles, sippy cups, lunch boxes, etc and never lose another item again.We received a Back to School package in the Diva print to review.

Zoobie Blanket Pets ends 9/25
Stinkin Cutezy Hair Accessories ends 10/3
Shoulder Buddies ends 10/2 

Good Luck everyone!

I am also aware of a glitch in the rafflecopters. If you are on the home page the rafflecopter displays the wrong info for the giveaway, however if you click the title bar ad go to each individual entry the rafflecopter will be correct. In the future I will not use the copy an existing giveaway option since that seems to be the problem.

I'm getting a little behind on posting reviews and giveaways because the twins are going through a growth spurt and are eating every 2 hours again like newborns, plus I think we may be hitting teething time really early. They have swollen gums and spend most of their days screaming at me. I'm going to try to get caught up over the next few days and will be posting giveaways for BabyBond Nursing covers, Scentsy, and Loveable Lables.
