Magic sand is the best sand

Who would have thought playing with sand could be this much fun. And as it turns out, it's not even sand! Flour and baby oil is all you need for your youngens (or young at heart) to have a ball for hours! Follow the simple steps below and your kids will prefer to play with sand over watching TV, hands down.

Instructions

Mix eight parts plain flour with one part baby oil. Mix together with your hands until combined. And that's it! 

Insert: smiley faced children :)

DIY your space for you!

When faced with the challenge to find a TV cabinet within a modest price range that looked good, I must say I couldn't accept cheap and ugly, so goodbye Ikea and SuperAmart. My hunt lead me to gumtree where I found this beautiful antique faux white timber laminex dresser for $30! 

Sourcing my "sweet pea" green paint for the main structure from my local hardware store and visiting the veneer guy down the road for all the timber trims, this one of a kind retro tv cabinet came in under $130! 

So be encouraged! Try some DIY furniture. There are so many local businesses around you that can offer their services. Enjoy the space you live in. Make it personal and pretty TO YOU. Go get 'em! 

Cute pillow beds

When life as a one and four year old gets tough and you need somewhere to rest your greasy fingers and sweaty head, where do you go? To the pillow beds! And they work a treat. Follow the steps below for this DIY.

Instructions

Collect four pillow slips and sew the lengths together. Insert pillows. Sleep :)

Have fun!
