A Classic - The absolute funniest family FAILs & WINs that every parent should see once their kids are old enough.
Full disclosure, I’m a ‘90s kid, born and bred. It’s utterly ridiculous how much I miss watching Sunday morning cartoons while eating a huge bowl of cereal and playing with my beloved toys.
Get ready to feel the nostalgia!
Don't you love a blast from the past. Remember when it was safe to climb on a metal jungle gym and girls wore dresses to school or if you went to the library and needed to look something up this is what you did way back when. So speaking of the past, I'm finally done and ready to share a quilt I started way back in the fall of 2015. When I first saw Di Ford's book Primarily Quilts, I knew I wanted to make the hexagon quilt she calls Route 66. I had never done English Paper Piecing, EPP, before, but immediately discovered I loved the accuracy, the rhythm of the handwork, making neat stacks of hexagon shapes, and the crisp edges of each of those pieces shaped around paper. Fussy cutting the fabric is not a new concept, but a fun one to experiment with, especially when you're using the hexagon shape. The top has been done for over a year. I just couldn't decide how to have it quilted. The only area where the quilting was really going to show was in the light surrounding hexies. I finally settled on this simple swirl to make the look more modern. The real stars of this quilt are the colors and fabrics so in the center hexies my machine quilt, Kathy, and I decided to still keep it simple by accentuating the hexagon shape and a simple motif in the centers. I was super pleased at the results. It may have been started awhile ago, but it's technically my first finish of 2018! You've got to love a Hexie quilt, even when it's a blast from the past. Until Next Time- Kyle
After Christmas, I purchased a bargain set of Jennifer Lopez fragrances for a few dollars at K Mart. I didn't expect much, but I've learned to keep an open mind. I'm glad I waited until the warm weather arrived to try out JLove, as I know it wouldn't have done much for me in December. With temperatures in the upper 90's, it seemed like an opportune time to try out this fruity, floral fragrance. First impression? Remember when, "Push-Up" didn't refer to a style of bra? So yeah, JLove's top notes remind me of fake orange ice cream on a stick. That's not a bad thing, as I have fond memories of reaching into the freezer case at the neighbourhood Rexall drugstore, grabbing one from the very bottom of the box (where they'd be coldest), handing over my .35 cents and racing over to the park to eat it on the bench next to the rocket ship jungle gym. They cost more than a Hershey Bar (.25 cents) but less than an ice cream Klondike Bar which was .45 cents. So overall, a good value...sort of like JLove. There's coconut and pineapple listed in the notes, but I don't detect either. That's strange as they're both notes with a tendency to overwhelm, It is almost a relief as I struggle to enjoy coconut in fragrances, and pineapple often turns unpleasant on my skin. But no such issues here-orange, vanilla, and a little muskiness later on to keep it from being too sweet. The only thing missing, keeping this from being the perfect childhood summer evoking fragrance is the smell of a heavily chlorinated pool, and cigarette smoke because everyone smoked everywhere when I was young, and the smell lingered all the more in the hot, humid climate of Chicago. There's nothing sophisticated about JLove. It isn't remarkable in any way, it isn't innovative, and the bottle is cheap looking. That said, there isn't anything wrong with the fragrance either. It is light, sweet without being too sweet, perfectly appropriate for an office or public transport, and generally cheerful. I can't really ask much more from a three dollar bottle of perfume. The longevity isn't bad, considering the price, and you don't need to apply a giant cloud of it to get a good effect. The silage is moderate, but in a polite way. I wouldn't want to wear JLove regularly, but on a very hot day when almost everything seems like too much, it is a nice, refreshing scent that will make you crave orange sherbet. Not much to fault in that. Notes according to Fragrantica: Raspberry, pink grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, orchid, water lily, coconut, vanilla, white wood, musk, tiare flower, and sorbet. I like to think I have a rather skilled nose, but I don't get the raspberry either and the tangerine smells more orange to me. There is a sharpness to JLove, but it isn't the sort of simulated tartness you'd expect from tangerine, grapefruit or pineapple. I'm not certain where it is coming from, but it definitely leans more industrial chemical, than zesty fruit. Again, that's not as bad as it sounds. Overall, I enjoyed JLove for the bright, summery fragrance that stops short of being fruit cocktail doused in condensed milk (as so many fruity, sweet fragrances are). Do I sound less than enthusiastic about JLove? I suppose that's a fair assessment but only because I have so many things I would rather wear instead. Absent the assortment of perfumes, I might reach for JLove more often for a nice burst of fresh sweetness on a summer day, though probably not in the evening. This is a pre-sundown sort of scent. Just a quick mention in passing-Jennifer Lopez Glow isn't a terrible fragrance for the money either, though the rose and tuberose fight it out with the amber for dominance. Not my kind of thing, but if you like sweet florals it is worth a try. Longevity is about half an hour, though what do you want for that price? They should have stuck the coconut and pineapple in Glo instead of JLove-that would have been a nice fragrance!
Completed my first DIY project for the blog!! Go me! Now for the directions.. Need: -Assorted Jars -Mod Podge (gloss-lustre) -Food coloring -Wax paper -Baking pan I started by peeling the labels off all of the jars... which was not fun... but nothing a little Goo Gone (Target dollar section) couldn't handle. Next in a separate mixing bowl combine Mod Podge and food coloring. I used dixie cups and craft sticks to mix, and I did not measure (just plopped it all in there). I did not add any water to mine but I have seen other people do so. It's really up to you. For my colors I wanted different shades of blue, teal, turquoise... whatever you would like to call it.. but I also saw some pretty brown and green versions that you could try as well. For each jar I used a different cup to get different colors. I used the blue, green, and yellow food coloring the most but in one batch I used a couple of drops of red as well (this jar turned out the darkest). After mixing well, just pour it in the bottom of your jar and start swirling it around until the entire jar is covered. I did this over paper towels to minimize the clean up. Once the entire bottle is covered, place it upside down on a baking pan to dry. I placed wax paper down first then two layers of paper towels on top of the backing pan. This made for a very easy, mess free clean up. After you have finished all of the jars let them sit upside down for an hour (I went and laid out in the sun for an hour!) All of the extra Mod Podge will drip down and puddle at the bottom. After the hour is up, flip the jars right side up (they will still be wet) and place them on a clean piece of wax paper on the baking pan. Bake them for 45 minutes at 225 degrees. Because my wine bottle was so large it had to bake for over an hour. I just pulled out the other jars and left it in longer. (Poor wine bottle was so large it almost didn't fit!) Once they are finished and cooled they should look a little bit like this.... -Enjoy!!!
