Organization: Bath Toy Storage

I have hated the lack of bath toy organization in our bathroom for a long time now. It always looks like a hot mess. I searched Pinterest for a reasonably cheap solution to this problem and came across what you see above, a shower rod with wire baskets. Let me show you my bathroom storage before so you get an idea of where I was coming from.

Quite a sad place.

This pin did not have a working link, so I do not have an original website for you guys.

Materials:

-Shower Rod  - Zenith Adjustable Tension Shower Rod, White, 72 Inches $13

-Shower Hooks - IKEA RINGSJON CLEAR SHOWER CURTAIN RINGS 12 PCS $6

-Wire Baskets - Organized Living Simple Basket, White $8 each

I bought this stuff on amazon, I've attached the link for anyone who is interested. All of these items were available for free super saver shipping.

Result:

All in all this was one of the easiest transformations that I have ever under took, taking a total of two minutes to put up. I love that the bath tub now looks and is more organized. The whole project cost me $35, which is more than I would usually spend, I'm sure if you shopped around you could find the items for cheaper.

Fun Food: Rainbow Cake

The rainbow cake recipe has been around Pinterest for a really long time, I've seen it in many different variations, rainbow cakes, cupcakes, pancakes, etc... I decided to make this for my daughter's birthday last year. It was really easy to make, it takes a little longer than making a plain cake, but so worth it.

Materials:

-White Cake Mix
-Food Coloring in various colors
-Cake Pan
-A few mixing bowls

Here is how I did made my cake.:
1. Mixed up a batch of white cake mix.
2. Separated the mixture into 6 different mixing bowls.
3. I added a different color food coloring to each bowl.
4. Poured each color into the cake pan one on top of each other.
5. Baked the cake.

Kid Craft: Marshmallow Structures

I sometimes need quick and easy crafts to do with my daughter, using items that I already have in my house. I have seen this craft using marshmallows and toothpicks to build structures and I thought it might be a fun and creative.

Original Website: http://daisyyellow.squarespace.com/vividlife/marshmallow-structures.html

Materials:

-Toothpicks

-Marshmallows

When we actually created these structures, I found out that maybe this is a craft for older kids. This is because all my daughter wanted to do was to eat the marshmallows, instead of building the structures.
