Virtual Refrigerator-- Floral Crafts and Decorated Bowls

Thanks for stopping by and joining us again this week as we host another virtual refrigerator arts and crafts link up.


We've been crafting up a storm this week!

My two younger boys bought some flowers and supplies at the dollar store to participate in a dollar store craft challenge on Monday.

Alec made a beautiful wreath and Evan had fun helping me decorate a series of tins we had found at The Christmas Tree shops.




You can read more about how they put together their floral crafts here.

The boys also begged me to learn how to decorate ceramic bowls using the Circut and some vinyl.  We spent an afternoon playing around with my machine and they made some really cute bowls.





Alec's bowl has swirls of greenery all around the entire bowl 

Ian's just says Ice Cream in shiny gold letters 

Evan wanted the words Ice Cream with a giant scoop of ice cream in the middle


I made three bowls myself and you can check them out here and also read a bit more about how we made them.

Now without further ado I invite you to grab a "magnet" and link up your arts and crafts or how- to posts below and visit some other bloggers to see what they shared on their refrigerators.

      They really were and the boys did such a great job with them. Often new crafts can get them frustrated but they all enjoyed these.

    I always enjoy seeing what you are working on with your boys. They did a good job! I love the bowls too. I don't have a Cricut, but I want one! Thank you for sharing on Party in Your PJ's. Pinned.

      Thank you. I have only used my Cricut 4 times or so since I got it for Christmas so I'm trying to make more of an effort to really use it and figure all the ins and outs of it. I figured if I started using it with them I was more likely to tackle some of the more intimidating projects I keep putting off.

"Best"/Favorite Books of 2025 by Categories Read

Image
I read 150 books in 2025 so it was really hard to pick just a few favorites. Typically I just go through each month and pick a favorite from the month but I thought this year it would be fun to pick favorites based on various categories. It was still so tough to pick just one book for each category though!   Best Young Adult novel:  I Hope This Doesn't Find You by Ann Liang--   This was another fun listen on my Libby app. Sadie tries so hard to make everyone like her but at times her frustration can get the best of her so she lashes out in email form. She never, ever plans to send any of them but they help her feel better.... until the day they all get sent and her life turns upside down. Most of the letters are sent to her nemesis Julius Gong and in a surprising twist of fate the emails find the two of them working together more than ever. It was really cute!  Best juvenile fiction:   Connect The Stars by Marisa de los Santos-- A really adorab...

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

Sending A Homeschooling Child Off to College-- 3 Ways That Worked for Us

Image
Going through the process of touring colleges I was asked a lot of questions about how homeschoolers get their kids into college. I promised to write a post but wow! I had no idea it would be so long! This may be more information than you care to read but I didn't know how else to break this down.  See, of my 3 boys, not one of them got into college the same way!!  When I began homeschooling my boys they were in preschool (Evan), kindergarten (Alec), and 2nd grade (Ian). Thoughts of college were a long way off and we mostly focused on day to day living and learning.  Newport harbor boat tour; learning about the history of the area At most I planned out our year but often we flew by the seat of our pants and I relied heavily on unschooling practices, field trips, and hands- on exploration of actual life for our early years.  Field trip to the zoo We settled down a bit more when they reached middle school and we at least had workbooks for things like grammar, math, an...

Styling Tweed with Ageless Style

Image
It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Mireille picked tweed as our theme. I had to google it and I'm pretty sure these pants are tweed... not that you can really tell in the pictures.  I've actually styled these on the blog before. They are one of my favorite pants; they are quite comfortable and they go with everything.         Amy ~ Amy’s Creative Pursuits Blog  |  Instagram  |  Pinterest  |  Facebook  | Bo ~ Bo's Bodacious Blog Blog  /  Instagram  / Pinterest  /  Bloglovin' Joanne ~ My Slice of Life Blog / Instagram/ Pinterest/ Facebook Jodie ~ Jodie’s Touch of Style Blog  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  | Marsha~ Marsha in the Middle Blog | Instagram Mireille ~ Chez Mireille Fashion Travel Mom Blog  |  Instagram  |  Pinterest  |  Facebook   You are invited to the Inlinkz link pa...
