Wrapping Up January

We’ve already completed a whole month of 2019!  Is it too much to hope that the rest of the year slows down just a bit?  I’ve already shared a couple of posts in February but before we jump in any further, let’s take a look back at January.  Around my house, it was a month full of reorganizing, planning for the year, and dreaming a bit big for 2019.  Here on the blog, I did some cooking for humans and dogs, shared some organization ideas, and jumped into Valentine’s Day mode.  If you missed any posts, I’ve rounded up the top five most popular posts of the month – the ones you read and shared the most {thank you!}.  Click on the links below for all the details of each project or idea and be sure to pin your favorites!

In January, I jumped on the llama trend {a super popular trend with the girls in my house} and created printable llama valentine tags that can be paired with any llama items for Valentine’s Day {pin it here} …

… shared a whole post all about the Cricut scoring wheel and how to use it along with some inspirational ideas of items other bloggers have made {pin it here} …

… used the scoring wheel to make a DIY storage box for kids that can be used to contain and corral all those teeny tiny items that kiddos love so much {pin it here} …

… tackled bath bombs again with some adorable DIY llama fizzing bath bombs that can be paired with the printable llama tags shared above for a really cute Valentine’s Day gift {pin it here} …

… and shared a buffalo chicken avocado toast bites recipe, a quick and easy twist on regular avocado toast that makes the perfect appetizer for game day or any regular day when you’re craving a little avocado and spice {pin it here}!
