Printable: Little Daily To Do List's

 While I have been doing a bit more reorganizing...I made some little Daily To Do printables.

*Update: I have received lots of emails through Google Documents requesting I "share" these.  They are "shared" and "editable" to everyone.  No request needed, but some of the confusion might be coming, because these are JPEGs.  I hope this helps clear up any questions.

Printable Love You Notes

My sweet husband sent me out for a Mother's Day manicure and pedicure and when I came home...

He had not only watched, fed, and put the kids down for naps.  But he did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and scrubbed it spotless...I was thrilled.

So, I just wanted to leave him a little treat with a few notes mentioning why I love and appreciate him.

And I figured I may as well share them.

Just print and fill in a short message...and a small treat is always nice too.

Spring Flower Sugar Cookies

These are my all time favorite cookies. 

They are easy and look cute.

Also, this recipe I always get compliments on.

Sugar Cookies

2 c sugar

1 c shortening

3 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

6 tbsp milk

5 c flour

1 tsp salt

3 tsp baking powder

Cream Sugar and Shortening. Then blend in eggs and vanilla. In separate bowl mix remaining dry ingredients. Then mix in the milk and dry ingredient combination, by alternating milk, then dry ingredients back and forth, ending on the dry. Chill for 1 hr minimum. Roll our 1/4 inch thick, cut, and cook on parchment paper lined cookie tray. 8-10 min. at 350 F, they should be light, if edges start to golden, then the cookies come out on the crisp side. (I find 10 min is perfect in my oven.)

Frosting

1/3 c soft butter

3-4 c powdered sugar

1 tbsp vanilla

1 tsp almond extract

3 tbsp milk

Food Coloring

Mix butter, vanilla, and almond extract together.

Add sugar and milk alternating...until desired consistency.

Separate and add food coloring to desired colors.

* The frosting is what makes this recipe. 

To Make Flowers:

Large Marshmallows

Scissors

Ziploc

Frosting

Frost cooled cookies, in desired color.

Cut off circles of Marshmallow with scissors. This will create a pinched petal.

Place 5-6 petals on frosted cookie.

Fill a small Ziploc bag with alternating color of frosting. Clip the corner to create a small hole

and pipe a large bead of frosting in the middle of the petals.

Kids Travel Car Mat

This Felt Car Mat is the simplest project I think I have done yet. 

You just need about ten minutes plus some:

Felt, Scissors, & Hot Glue.

Using a sheet of green felt as the mat.  I cut out some simple road, parking lot, dirt, and water pieces and hot glued them on. It was embarrassingly easy.  And no it is not the fanciest car track, but it has hands down been my son's favorite of all the projects I have made. 

So I got the basic idea from Serving Pink Lemonade.  But I made mine so it rolls or folds up easily.

I tuck it and a few cars in a small ziploc baggie or just in my purse for appointments and restaurants

and he loves it.

And I highly suggest looking over at Serving Pink Lemonade, the car mats she shows are so cute and sturdy.

DealNews.com

Dealnews.com has to be one of my, actually my husband's, favorite sites. 

And in many ways it is addicting.  It is a website that posts all the great deals all over the nation, online, in stores, restaurants, anything.  It is simple to use.  And they have this great feature, where you can submit what you are looking for and they email you when deals for that product come up.

Some of the amazing deals we have used it for:
- 2 boxes of printer paper (10 reams per box) for $8 with free shipping and delivered in 2 days!
- Men's tungsten wedding ring for $12.
- Drywall Hooks (As Seen on TV) 40 for $3.50. 
                    (these are amazing by the way.)
-$100 putter for free with any purchase.  So we bought a bag of tees. With shipping & tees it totalled $9.

I can't even think of all the things we've got, from free meals at restaurants, coupons, Las Vegas trips, camping equipment, diapers, cereal, computer equipment...and so much more!

Boys Tool Box

I loved this cute idea from Serving Pink Lemonade.

It was really simple to make, mine has a few minor changes...just out of convenience.

It is quiet and fun.  But also supper thin that you can take it along anywhere.

I am always looking for quiet activities for kids and things we can take along with us to keep them busy.

This little felt tool box works perfect.

And when my son tries "fixing" things I don't have to worry about the paint on my walls being chipped

nor my furniture scratched.

Creamy Fruit Dip

My all time favorite fruit dip.  And extremely simple.

Ingredients:

8oz. package of cream cheese

7 oz. jar of marshmallow cream

Directions:

Whip together.

Simple Burp Rags

Kid's Hot & Cold Pack

So I loved the Kids Cold Pack Idea from Just Another Hang Up. It is filled with rice, so it can be kept in the freezer until needed.  Or heat it in the microwave and it can be a little warming pad.

I just know, my son wont use an ice pack when he gets hurt.  They are too cold and hard.

So this was the perfect solution.

Although the chick cold packs @ Just Another Hang Up are much cuter in my opinion.  I just simplified it.  And used the scraps from our Halloween Monkey Costumes.  So it was basically free to make.

Below is the pattern I made. 

You can enlarge or shrink it to make any size.

And I suggest using flannel...soft on the skin.
