Ridiculously Easy No Sew Boot Cuff Tutorial
These boot cuffs are all the rage right now. You can buy a pair for $13 or more, OR you can make them yourself without needing to sew at all! Take an old sweater you don’t wear anymore (or buy one at a thrift store), cut the sleeves off, and put them on over your pants/socks. If you want to make sure it doesn’t unravel, use fabric glue to cuff the part where you cut. That’s it! SO CHEAP AND SO EASY!

Get Organized with Cereal Boxes
I have been on this big organizational kick lately. We have so much stuff and I want to “purge and organize” the house. Organizational tools can be expensive. I got a great deal on those large plastic tubs for some stuff but was so frustrated that the little drawer organizers were more than the cost of the big tubs!
Then I hit Pinterest and found this great idea for using cereal boxes (or the boxes from other things like crackers) to organize your drawers. All you need is a razor blade for cutting and you are set!
How To Cut Your Child’s Hair
Ok, so my lovely almost four year old daughter decided to take a pair of scissors to her hair. This is the second time in her life this has happened and both times were on Daddy’s watch! I came home from finding a great deal at the store for you guys only to open the closet door and find a long beautiful blond curl! Oh. No. I immediately looked for Launa. For those of you who don’t know her, she has had shoulder length curly blond hair. I find her all grins and she has no idea I know. After all who could notice the big gap around her right ear?
After examining her and the damage I realized it wasn’t that bad. Well, at least not as bad as the first time! Since she snipped a pretty big chunk I had no choice but to even it out. The first thing I did was gather the tools. I needed of course scissors, a comb, a hair clip, a razor, and since her hair is curly, a flat iron. The next thing I did was straighten it. I cut it even all the way across the back with the strand she initially cut herself. Then, to give it some style I choose to give her a small A line bob.
To give her the slight angle, I took all of her hair back and clipped it. Then I pulled a little on the left and right side at the same time to make sure it was even.
Then I took the razor and cut straight across while the clip held her hair together.
I just want to pause for a moment and have everybody take note that she is not happy about this hair cut so she is NOT cooperating at all! Which is why her arms are crossed and her head is on the counter! Anyways, after you use the clippers you will remove the hair clip and snip any strays.
*Still pouting*
Needless to say she woke up the next morning and was pretty upset that her hair had not yet grown back. I told her not to cut it again if she wanted it long!
So, if your child decides to take a pair of scissors to her hair like mine did, you don’t have to run out to the salon. You can grab your scissors and give her a cute new style yourself!
