Nerf Battle Blinds: How to Paint Camouflage

Nerf Battle Blinds: How to Paint Camouflage

These camouflage blinds were perfect for my son’s Nerf Battle birthday party. Use the easy spray painting technique to create camouflage designs on almost any surface.  It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year ago that we had Carter’s Nerf Battle birthday party, and at the time I promised a tutorial on how

My Friday Five – Hello, It’s Me

Long time no see! It’s been a busy few months and I had to check out of blogging for a while. I have a few new posts kicking around in my brain, but figured I’d do a quick update before jumping back in. 1 | Be Good. Do Good. Feel Good.  Since the beginning of the

My Friday Five – Catching Up!

Well Heeeellllllllooooooo! Long time no post. I’m sorry I’ve been MIA for a little while. I’ve got lots of posts in my head these days just other things preoccupying my time instead of getting them written. If you ever miss me, you can usually find some updates on Instagram. I thought I’d do a little catch up

My Friday Five – New Year, New Faves

Happy first Friday of 2017! Was this the longest short week ever or what?! While I enjoy my job, and I even worked a few days last week, it was a challenge to get back into the full routine of work and school again. Plus it was SO cold this week, making me want to

It’s hard to believe that 4 years ago today I started Sometimes Homemade as a place to document my craft projects and DIY adventures! It’s fun each year on my blogiversary to look back on what you deemed most popular for the year.

Happy Friday! Whooo… it’s been a week! Yesterday I thought it was Wednesday all day, and I could really use that extra day. I’ll still welcome the weekend with open arms.

My Friday Five – Fall Forward

Hello! It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a Friday Five post. The summer got away from me a bit, just as the weeks seem to do too. Work has been busy, but good. Carter is back in school and fall sports have started up again too, while it adds a little more to

Fall TV is Here! Better Things Giveaway

Fall is by far my favorite season. At least in the Midwest, it’s the best weather of the year, the re-introduction of cozy clothes, the start of college football season (Go Hawks!), time for pumpkin spice everything AND last but certainly not least, the start of the new TV season! While many of my favorite

Oh hey Friday, you creeped up on me this week, but I’m happy to see you! Even though summer only officially started this week, I can’t believe that we’re almost to the 4th of July. Slow down please! Here’s what we’ve been up to the last few weeks. 1 | Father’s Day – Todd’s dad

My Friday Five – School’s Out for Summer!

Lots of activity around here the last week! End of the school year, a work trip for me, a meeting with our realtor (it’s getting real people!) and as much outside time as we could manage in between everything else. 1 | School Days – Carter had his last day of school yesterday. 1st grade
