Makeover Monday

I’ve been falling short on my Makeo­ver Mon­day items this month. Things here have been a bit crazy.

Before I get to my goals for this week I must report on last week’s progress:

Plan and exe­cute the per­fect three year old party.

Com­plete!

I went to our local Michael’s and bought large sand buc­kets for $1 each. What a deal! My mom wrote each child’s name on his/her buc­ket using foam let­ters.. It tur­ned out super adorable.

For the craft the kids deco­ra­ted foam visors, also a Michael’s find. This was a big­ger hit than I expected.

The pinata was a blast and adults and chil­dren alike had a great time. It was a fan­tas­tic day!

This week’s goals:

1.  Finan­ces, yuck.

2. I sig­ned up to be part of the Blog Exchange. Mea­ning I need to post another blogger’s post on my site Mon­day mor­ning. Unfor­tu­na­tely I am going cam­ping with the family from Fri­day mor­ning until Mon­day eve­ning.  See the pro­blem? I need to figure out a way to get my Blog Exchange partner’s post up on my site on Mon­day morning.

3. This is our first cam­ping trip as a family. Hubby has taken BC on an overnight-er, but eClaire and I did not join them. We will be gone for a few days and need to figure out a way to camp without brin­ging our whole house.

So there you have it.

Thanks to MoodS­win­ging­Mommy for crea­ting Makeo­ver Mon­day. If you’d like to par­ti­ci­pate, drop on over to her site and see what this is all about.

    Again, con­grats on the awe­some birth­day party. Good luck on the blog exchange. Can’t wait to see what you write on someone else’s blog… and I’m curious to see what someone wri­tes on yours. :)

    Way to go, Smi­ling Mom, for thro­wing a fan­tas­tic party! Good luck on your goals for the week. I’m espe­cially wai­ting to hear how you mana­ged to pack for cam­ping, since I’m such an over-packer! Any tips will be most wel­come! Have fun!
