Hello there!  How has your summer been?!  I know we've been busy here! We have two weeks left until school starts, so we're trying to pack in as much fun as we can.  So forgive us for our lack of posts lately!

Unfortunately I  don't have a craft to share with you today because I seem to have lost my camera.  I know it's in the house somewhere, but my 1 year old took it and hid it!! So hopefully we'll find it soon!  I might be crawling around on my hands and knees for the next couple days in hopes of finding it.

So today I wanted to share some amazing posts I've found lately.  Click on the pictures to find out more!

This first one is from Brandy over at Gluesticks. Did you know you can make your own foaming handsoap?!?
Seriously?!  Why did I never know this?  You just use a little bit of regular soap, and add water.  What?!?  I'm super excited about this!

I found this next amazing idea over at MaryJanes and Galoshes.
I need to try this one!  No heat curls?  Who could ask for anything more!  I'm going to try this on myself, but I'm not sure if my hair's too short, so I'll let you know.  This would be perfect for my daughter though!

I saw this next one a while ago on Eighteen25, and every time I see it, it makes me laugh!  And then I start humming the song...
I think it's hilarious! We could make it for our kids, and they would have no idea where the phrase came from.  But us "old-timers" would get a little chuckle! :)

I love this next one.  I don't know about you, but I suffer from severe mommy guilt.  No matter what I do during the day, I always feel guilty about something.  If I clean my house, I feel guilty that I didn't spend enough time with my kids.  If I take my kids out, I feel guilty that my house is a wreck.  I love this list from IMOM
I'm going to print this and put it on my fridge!  What a great reminder to work on being the best mom you can be, every day.  Knowing I worked on that one thing will help me feel accomplished, even if I don't clean my house!

This last blog has been one of my favorites this summer.  Toni over at Design Dazzle has an amazing blog!  Right now she has Summer Camp going on, where she has various guest bloggers, or 'camp counselors', post about different crafts you can do with your kids.  Here are just a few of the amazing ideas.  You should definitely go check it out for yourself!

Well, there you have it.  Hopefully I'll find my camera and be back to crafting by next week!!  
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Thanks for reading!
