Living in Florida we spend a lot of time on our patio. We have a seating area with two chairs and a loveseat out there. It is very comfy but with two boys it seemed like the cushions were always slipping off and I was constantly fixing them. Here is an easy way to keep them in place.
Supplies Needed:
1 roll of rubbery shelf liner (from Walmart)
Scissors
First, remove the cushions leaving just the chair base. Next, measure and cut a piece of liner to fit the bottom of the chair. I ended up having to cut two separate pieces to fit my base seat.
Next, repeat for all chairs and loveseats. Then, replace the cushions.
Now relax and spend less time fixing slipping and sliding cushions!
My boys love bread and this recipe is one of their favorites. It is a super easy recipe from Bisquick and reminds us of the biscuits from a local chain restaurant.
Ingredients Needed:
2 Cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. margarine
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. First, stir the Bisquick, milk, and cheese in a bowl until a soft dough forms. My boys like a lot of cheese so I usually increase the cheese to 3/4 cup.
Next, drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. You should have 8 or 9 mounds of dough.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until a golden brown and not doughy looking.
Melt the butter in a microwaveable bowl and add the garlic powder. Then, brush the mixture over the rolls.
Finally, ENJOY!!! These biscuits are so cheesy and buttery and delicious!
After taking down my 4th of July decorations I needed a wreath for my front door and was tired of the everyday one I had already. I knew I wanted to stick with purple colors to complement my door and match my welcome flag. After walking around the Dollar Store I decided on a Hawaiian Lei Wreath.
Supplies Needed:
12" Wreath Form (I used a 40% off coupon at local craft store)
5 Leis (from Dollar Store--they had a ton of colors)
Green Floral Wire
Straight Pin
Scissors
First, I took a lei and cut the string right near the knotted end.
Then I removed 4 flowers and the plastic spacers between them and retied a knot on the loose end. Repeat this for all five leis. Next, take a straight pin and pin the knot to the wreath and start wrapping one of the leis. When you get to the end, take another lei and tie that string to the string on the first lei.
Then, continue wrapping the leis and tying them together until all five are wrapped on the wreath form. You can fluff and space them to fill in any bare spots. Next, take green floral wire and cut a piece of it to wrap around a section of the lei in the back and knot into a loop. This forms a loop to hang the wreath from.
That's all there is to it - and supplies were under $10 - even better!
Finally, hang on your door.
