DIY String Art: Bright Red Balloon

Let It Go.

Those are three short words that make up a powerful phrase. There are so many different things that come to mind when we hear or say those words;

Disney’s Frozen
parenting
grieving a loved one
holding on to the past
living a life of fear
anger/resentment for a person (or people)
holding on to what could have been
expectations that others put on us
trying to control situations and outcomes
our plan for our lives (because God has a better one)

Oh my goodness, we could go on and on. One thing we know for sure is that it’s easier to say Let It Go than to actually do it, but we’re working on it. Now that we have our own DIY string art with a bright red balloon and those three little words under it, it’s top of mind. If we can practice letting go a little bit everyday, my will we soar!

DIY Watermelon Corkboard

We’re loving all our watermelon consumption these warm summer days. The kids are out of school, it’s time to shave our legs again, dust off the grill and eat watermelon. It’s not enough for us to just eat the juicy, pink fruit this summer – we want to hang it up on the wall too!

This DIY watermelon corkboard and pushpins makes for a lovely teacher and hostess gift, and it’s a great pop of color in one’s office space. Wayfair, one of the world’s largest online destination for all-things-home thinks so too, because they shared our tutorial with their readers.
