• DIY Eye Glass Cleaner

    August 26, 2020

    DIY eye glass cleaner is incredibly easy to make. It requires a grand total of 3 ingredients and will make your glasses sparkle. One of my biggest pet peeves is dirty eye glasses. You know, the kind of dirt and grease that requires actual eye glass cleaner to fix and not a microfiber cloth or end of your shirt. With a baby who loves to grab the glasses off of my face and put her hands all over the lenses, I have had more than my fair share of dirty eye glasses this past year. And by dirty, I mean…

  • Homemade Ketchup (Low FODMAP)

    August 19, 2020

    Homemade ketchup is an easy way to keep your favorite condiment stocked while also being in full control of the ingredients. This version is low FODMAP, meaning it doesn’t contain any of the onion or garlic that other store bought brands contain. For the majority of my life, I have been a ketchup purist. Even when I couldn’t eat the darn stuff (thank you Nightshade intolerance), I was still adamant that the only thing that could be called ketchup was from Heinz. Everything else was subpar. So why the heck am I sharing a recipe for HOMEMADE ketchup? Because I’ve…

  • 5 easy sewing projects to make for little people

    July 7, 2020

    If you’re looking for projects to make FOR or WITH your littles, I’ve got you covered. Here are five kid-friendly sewing projects I’ve done and loved and would do again in a heart beat. I have always been enamored by sewing. When I was in high school, my favorite sewing projects included scouring the racks for jeans at the local thrift store and then sewing in patchwork panels down the side and turning every pair I could find into bell bottoms. I even went so far as to have my great aunt, who was a professional seamstress, teach me how…

  • Free Phone and Desktop Wallpaper Download!

    May 15, 2020

    Dress your tech with these free phone and desktop wallpaper designs inspired by the drawings and paintings of flowers that I’ve been doing for the 100 Day Project. I’ve long been a fan of D E S I G N L O V E F E S T and the Dress Your Tech section on the site. I’m pretty sure every single piece of tech I’ve ever owned has had a wallpaper that I’ve downloaded from there. That’s more than 10 years of downloading and loving the designs I’ve found. What can I say, it makes my heart happy. With…

  • Sweet Potato and Beef Hash

    April 20, 2020

    Delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this sweet potato and beef hash is always a hit in the House of Lev. And with a grand total of three ingredients (YEP, THREE) it truly couldn’t get any easier. Unless, of course, it cooked itself. As we enter into our sixth week of quarantine and six whole weeks of cooking 3 meals a day for 4 people, the only thing I want lately is EASY. And this sweet potato and beef hash fits that bill nicely. With a grand total of three ingredients (YEP, THREE) this couldn’t get any easier. Unless, of course, it…

  • Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

    April 16, 2020

    Want a kid-approved treat that’s as easy as it is delicious? These chocolate dipped marshmallows covered in rainbow sprinkles are just that. Kid-approved, easy, AND delicious. When I told Anna what we were making today, her eyes got really big and she couldn’t speak for a few beats. It helps that I combined all of her very favorite treats: chocolate, marshmallows, and rainbow sprinkles into one delicious project. (I’m pretty sure I win mom of the year award for that one.) This is a great activity for letting your little take the lead and have some fun. All you need…

  • Learn how to make big paper stars from lunch bags!

    April 15, 2020

    Anna and I made big paper stars from plain old lunch bags today. When we saw a video of this being done for the first time, we both let out a gasp of delight. We knew that this was on our must-do list and made sure it was in our rotation ASAP. We have a feeling it will be on yours, too. Why? Because it’s an easy craft, even for those who are self-described as craft-impaired. All you need is a handful of paper lunch bags, a glue stick, a pair of scissors, and your hands. But don’t let the…
