I attempted this project to use as a "Checklist" for the kids before we start the day..You know the typical,"Did you brush your teeth", "Comb your hair" etc and I was suprised at how easy this was!!!

What you need:

-Frame ( I bought mine at WalMart)- select one that has flat, wide sides

-Craft Paint & sponge brush- if you want to have a small border of paint around the frame

-Vinyl

-Chalkboard Paint

-Matching ribbon

Steps:

1) Begin by painting a small border around the frame with paint and a sponge brush. I have marked it off with masking tape and I have done it without marking it off. Let the paint dry.

2) Cut circles on the Cricut using vinyl. I believe I cut 1" circles. Peel off the backing and place them around the sides of the frame.

3) Remove glass from picture frame and spray with chalkboard paint. I bought my paint at WalMart. Spray outside on grass or newspaper. I did several thin layers. Let dry (dries very quickly)

4) Put glass back in frame

5) Add a bow and voila it's finished. ( I would probably use a dab of hot glue to attach the bow)

If you are in the Houston area, you know it is going to RAIN all day...and that means if you have little ones that will be trapped inside the majority of today...you know you must find something to keep them busy. I saw this and thought it was an easy and simple project you can try. We are going to try it today and I will post the outcome :) Have fun and hope this is helpful

Good Morning!!! One thing I am going to share weekly are workout tips that I have learned and found to be successful as well as healthy meals etc...Before I found out that we were expecting our third baby, I was dedicated to working out with a trainer and started the process to become a Group Fitness Instructor...becoming to focus on getting my ceritification to be an instructor I read, spoke to other instructors and really absorbed so much information that I hold on to. Even being almost 5 months pregnant, I still go to the gym daily and push myself ( just with a few motifications)...so I will share some of my favorites with you and hope that you find them helpful as well. I will continue getting my certification once I have my little man in June. I absolutely can not wait!!!

Tip of the Day:
ABDOMINAL PLANKS
Common mistake: Rounding your upper back and pushing your hips too high into the air.

Picture this: Imagine your back is like a tabletop. You should be able to place tea cups on that imaginary tabletop without them tumbling to the floor.
