Easy Organizational Tricks
Here's a few things that have made my life a little bit easier...
Use an inexpensive silverware divider to store your hair tools.
Picked this one up on clearance at Target.
Install a command hook on the inside of your bathroom under sink door to hold a face towel.
Also, a slim trash can under the sink provides much more storage room for other items.
These $1 tins (Target) hold smaller items in a bathroom drawer.
Store your soap unwrapped in a basket in your linen closet. The aroma will surprise you each time you open the door and a fresh bar of soap is always ready!
If you have a larger family, one towel bar just doesn't cut it. Install wall hooks to hold extra towels.
Keep mom-approved snacks in your bottom produce drawer.
Kids can choose what they want when they're hungry!
I love baskets! Simply storing supplies in baskets inside a linen closet adds organization.

Pigeon Shirt (Mo Willems)
We love Mo Willems! My son has asked and asked for a "pigeon" shirt. Unable to find an official one anywhere, I grabbed some art supplies I had on hand, pulled out an undershirt from his drawer, and made my own!
It was so simple. First, I placed a magazine inside the shirt so that my marker/paint wouldn't bleed through. I then free handed the pigeon outline with a Sharpie, using the cover picture as reference. I filled in the color with the two paints shown. Done! And still looks great after washing!

Quick and Easy Appetizer
I really don't have a name for this appetizer. I got the recipe from a lady I worked with over a decade ago and have been making it since. It is my go-to easy appetizer for any function. Everyone loves it!
It's now ready to bake! However, you are still left with four crescent rolls (depending on the size you bought). You can buy just the two pack, but those are becoming harder and harder to find. So, I cut the remaining rolls in half, sprinkle them with dill weed, and bake them along with the cream cheese crescent.
Only three ingredients: crescent rolls, block of cream cheese, and dill weed (spice)
Preheat your oven to 375,
put a crescent layer on the bottom of an oven-safe dish,
place the cream cheese block on top of the crescent layer,
cover it in dill weed,
place the other crescent layer on top and pinch the crescent rolls together all around,
and top it off with another dash or two of dill weed.

So, I cut the remaining rolls in half, sprinkle them with dill weed, and bake them along with the cream cheese crescent.
Bake according to the directions on the crescent roll package (usually 10 minutes).
Once finished, slice with a knife and serve with crackers and your small crescents!
I promise it will be a hit!

Fall Wreath
So simple! I bought a foam wreath, cut small strips of burlap, wrapped the strips around the wreath a few times, secured the strips with wreath pins, added some "flair" (acorns, fall harvest sign, and burlap bow) that I picked up at a craft store, attached a ribbon, and wah-lah! An easy fall wreath!
