I love games of all kinds. It’s the competition that’s so fun. I am a fan of many electronic games out there, board games, and have fond memories of the games I played as a child. I do worry about kids now days not getting the exercise they need because of TV and electronic games, so I gathered some of the old games that have been around forever that will give your family some alternatives and some great memories. Plus, I am always on the lookout for things to do with my grandkids and these posts helped me remember some I had totally forgotten about.
Uplift Families Conference (Discount and Giveaway)
Parenting can be so difficult and overwhelming some times, but comes with many rewarding and fulfilling gifts, as well. Utah’s First Lady, Jeanette Herbert, has developed an amazing initiative that we are thrilled to be a part of. Mrs. Herbert is the mother of six children and owned a child care and preschool for 23 years, so she is very knowledgeable in child development practices.
Uplifting Families is a program full of information to help parents raise loving and responsible children. The first way they do this is through their amazing website www.upliftfamilies.org including parenting tips, links to helpful programs, organizations, and agencies that help enhance parenting skills, and answers to parenting questions.
I’ve also enjoyed their YouTube channel Uplift Families where there are several videos of speakers from the past conference. And speaking of conferences the annual Parenting Conference is just a few weeks away.
Recycled Leather Office Chair
Hello Everyone! I recently recycled an older leather office chair into a more colorful and fun craft room chair using spray paint.

I’ve had this chair for years and love how comfortable it is, but it just didn’t match the retro vibe I am going for in my craft room. I debated a long time about what to do with this chair. I wasn’t sure if I could recover it and I even wondered if I should just replace it, but then decided I would just paint it! The spray paint can says it will cover vinyl and plastic, so then I thought “why not leather”. Paint is one of my very good friends and I use spray paint all the time; I just knew that it would be worth a try and my gamble paid off. Leather can be spray painted! Yay!

Hi Friends! Today I have a pallet wood United States of America. I’ve been seeing different variations of the USA used in every day home décor, so I came up with this idea.
