Easy Back Seat Bags for the Mini Van

Summer vacations are upon us...Aren't you glad!?  I know I sure am.  Even though it's a lot of work to go away and I'm more exhausted when I come home than when I left, I still absolutely LOVE to get away with my family.  I try to do whatever I can to make our trip more enjoyable for all...including me.  One thing that I enjoy is a neat mini van during our travels.

Things can already be chaotic enough with six of us in a mini van for 6 or more hours at a time so anything to calm the chaos is good.  In my 12 week organizing series I showed you some mini-van organizing ideas and have tweaked one of those to make our next trip better.
I showed you how I used a shoe bag to organize my kids "stuff" in the van.

This worked well but the kids needed their own storage space...more than just the one "shoe spot".  So, I looked for some material to make them each their own seat bag.

I had some fleece on hand so I just cut 4 rectangles, one for each bag.

I folded the fleece in half and sewed up each side.

Then I cut another piece for the strap that goes around the headrest and a strap to keep the bag closed.
I attached the straps and then sewed on a button to keep them closed.  By using the fleece, I didn't have to hem anything and don't have to worry about it unraveling.

 The kids are enjoying having their OWN bags and it's keeping the car  a little neater and I'm loving that!

Geocaching 101 - A Frugal Fun

Yesterday we spent the afternoon geocaching.  We have really enjoyed geocaching and seeing many new sights while doing it.  I shared with you last fall about the Wordless Bracelets we make for geocaching and thought I would try to answer a few questions about how we geocache.
What is geocaching?
     Geocaching is when you use coordinates on a GPS to find a hidden treasure (cache).  This is usually a bottle or box with a log book in it and possibly a trinket that you can exchange for one that you have brought with you.
What do you need for geocaching?
     The main item you need for geocaching is a GPS.  We have been blessed with a Garmin GPS that we use.  Many of the smart phones have a GPS app available.  As long as you are searching for geocaches in your phone's service area, your phone will work just fine. Some other items to take along with you are: a pen, trinkets to trade, and basic hiking and first aid supplies.
How to begin geocaching?
     Before we go geocaching, we visit geocaching.com . You will need to create an account.  A basic account is free.  If you want the extras...like hints to be downloaded to your GPS, you will want to get the Premium membership.  It's $30 for the year.  This website will give you a listing of the available geocaches in the area and from there you will be able to download the coordinates directly to your GPS.  

What do you do to prepare for a day of geocaching?
     As I said above, we go to geocaching.com.  We have already created an account so we signed into it.

geocaching.com

At the top of the page you will see a tab marked "play".  On the drop down menu click "Hide and Seek a Cache".
This will open the next page that asks you to enter the location you would like to geocache.  We were going to a park, so we entered the address of the park.

geocaching.com

After you enter your location, the website will pull up the geocaches and the distance from your location.  You can click on the ones you would like to download to your GPS device.  We choose ones within just a few miles. 

geocaching.com

Then we download each of them to our GPS device.  The website will tell you the size of a cache, how hard it is to find, the last time it was found, and so on.
What does a day of geocaching look like?
   Once you have the geocaches loaded to your device, you are ready to go on a treasure hunt.  We headed to the park and pulled out our GPS.  We directed it to show us the "closest" cache.

It told us it was 170 feet in this particular direction and so we headed in that direction.  The closer we got the less distance it was showing on the GPS until we got near a tree (this particular one was a tree...we have found them in trees, by grave stones, on guard rails, in electrical boxes...).

We looked around the tree for any rocks or bark or things that just shouldn't be there and...

...we found the cache.  This one was a "micro" cache and it only had a log book it in.

We signed our name and date and put the cache back exactly where we found it.  We marked that cache found on our GPS and headed to the next one.

This one was found just a little off a path at the park.

It was a bigger cache and we were able to take a trinket and leave one of our wordless bracelets.
After that we found about 3 more caches.  We had to get in the car and travel up the road a bit to a cemetery.  Geocaches are often in cemeteries, ball fields, parking lots, and parks.
We have geocached in our town, all over our state, and in other states as well.  I bet there are some in your town!!  Its a great way to get the kids outside and is a really fun treasure hunt.  It can also be a very inexpensive hobby and enjoyable for the whole family!  Give it a try...I'm almost certain you will like it.  Don't be disappointed if you can't find the cache on your first try.  We have a few we can't seem to locate, but we keep going back to look from a different perspective!

Pink Lemonade Pound Cake

I needed a dessert for a picnic over the weekend and this delicious Pink Lemonade Cake was the perfect fit.  It was festive, cute, and yummy.

If you like sweet of cake and tangy of lemons, this will be right up your alley. I adapted the recipe below from Sugar Baby Aprons.

Printable Version

Pink Lemonade Pound Cake
1 package lemon cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix ( I used cook and serve because that's what I had...worked fine)
4 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate
4 drops pink or red food color, optional (I had to use way more coloring...like 20 drops to get the nice pink color)

1) Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour one 10-inch tube pan or
bundt pan.

2) Combine the cake mix, lemon pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/2
cup lemon concentrate and the milk. Mix until smooth. Pour the batter
into the prepared pan.

3) Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Remove from oven and prick cake all over with a fork. Immediately
pour lemonade glaze over top of cake.

LEMONADE Glaze Recipe: (that you pour over the cake when it comes out of the oven)

1 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup white sugar
Combine the remaining thawed frozen lemonade and the white sugar.

Mix thoroughly and pour over still warm cake.

 
Now, let cake stand in pan until almost cool then make this frosting for the top of the cake.
 

Pink Frosting/Glaze Recipe (for top of cake)

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan or microwave.

Sift 2 cups of powdered sugar into a medium size bowl. 

Add the melted butter to the powdered sugar. 

Add 2 tablespoons of cream.

If desired either add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract or 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla for flavor.

Beat until smooth and creamy adding a little more milk if necessary. 

Add Pink food coloring until you get your desired colored.
Drizzle over cooled cake. 

This is a super yummy, summery, fun cake.  We sure loved it...I hope you will too.

Blessings,

Rustic Chair Planter

A couple of weeks ago, I showed you my garage sale finds from the month of May.  Lots of good stuff last month.  I failed to show you this one little find because its makeover was already underway.

Ok, if you look closely, you will see that I paid $5 for this rickety, old, broken chair.  The lady overseeing the sale asked me several times what I was going to do with this chair and I was so ecstatic to find one, that I actually paid full price!!  What was I thinking!!??
Anyway, I did have a plan.  I milked painted this chair the same color as my Bed Frame Bench and then used the Jig Saw (all by myself) to cut a board to fit on the chair.  If you can believe it, I found this board in my garage with the hole already cut out; I just had to make it fit the chair.  It was meant. to. be.

Now I just had to put the flower pot right down in the hole.  The edges of the pot kept it from falling through the hole.

The flowers fit perfectly and will look great on my deck.  Not too shabby for $5, huh??

Patriotic Porch, Pinwheels, and Wreath

The flowers are a bloomin' at my house,

Bed Frame Bench

...a sure sign that Summer is near.  Last weekend, I got a chance to work on decorating my front porch for Summer.

I love pin wheels and found a great tutorial at Miss Mustard Seed to make some.

 Basically, you just cut a square of colorful paper.  I glued two together because I wanted both sides to be the different.

 Then just cut from the edge of each corner about halfway in to the center.

I put glue and glitter along the edges but obviously, that is not necessary.

 Finally, just hot glue every other cut edge into the center.  Be careful...that glue gun can be brutal!

I topped mine with a star to finish it up and clear coated it so it would hold up outdoors.

 Most all of these items for my porch decor were ReStore finds.
Chair - $1
Toolbox - about $3
Double Boiler - Free
Hand planer - $2
Straw Wreath - $.50

Have you gotten your porch decorated for Summer?  I bet it looks amazing!!

Blessings,
