LOUELA at home

As part of our "LOUELA at Home" series we played with some pillows, a clock, some prints, a mug and phone case from our Society6 shop. Below Elly is holding our TET pillow and Lucy is holding our "HeartHeartHeart" pillow. Our Floral Clock is on the wall. The pillows are printed on both sides which is really nice and you can choose the rim and hand colors for the clock to match the look of your personal space. It is really fun to see these items in person and come up with some different ideas of how to use them.

The wooden star below was handmade by Lucy with some wooden dowels and twine I purchased at Joann's Fabrics. She hot glued the dowels together and wrapped the twine around for extra reinforcement. I wrapped a small package of white christmas lights I purchased from Target.

Super fun and super easy!

Pictured is our TET and Kirk Floral pillows. Both designed by Elly:)

Find these items for purchase in our Society6 store

We made a cosy space with the girls plush chair from Pottery Barn Teen by pairing it with Lucy's SPLAT pillow and Kitty Kitty mug on the left. On the right Elly's Sea Glass pillow and Tet pillow with some handmade garland by Lucy and I decorating the wall.

Find the pillows, mug, clock and prints here.

DIY kids

My youngest daughter Lucy is not the only one who likes origami in this house. My eldest daughter's favorite is this origami balloon. She made a bunch or regular sized ones and then ventured to make a huge one with a piece of large paper. Here are some photos of her blowing it up before we headed to the pool:)

FAMILY and DIY

My youngest daughter Lucy is obsessed with Origami. We probably have about 100 Origami cranes. Plus 20-50 other types of Origami in our home.

We purchased this "laptop pillow" from IKEA and it has been PERFECT for her to do her origami on.

After only 2 or 3 days of purchasing some origami paper and her using other paper around our house we a huge accumulation of origami and we had to do something with it! I want to have Lucy send some to friends. But first we did a little GEORGE THE TROOPER scene and then.....

Can you see George down there?!

we made a little art installation in our family room:)

My eldest daughter Elly likes to do Origami as well. She has these balloons that she likes to make. Will share that in a post to come. She made the Panda and boat in the scene below.

Maybe you can have fun with some origami with your kids and share what you do with us!

DIY Homemade Popsicles

I have found a ton of yummy recipes for homemade popsicles on Pinterest. We had to try some and there are a few more we want to try! We made some with yogurt and berries the other day and they were super yummy. I didn't get photos of those, but we put greek yogurt, creamed honey, a bit of vanilla, strawberries and blueberries. Some of the recipes we have tried turned out great and some not so much. You can manipulate them pretty easy and it is fun to try different ingredients. Instead of grabbing a chocolate bar, cookie or other naughty sweet it is so nice to have a yummy, healthy, cool treat when you have that sweet craving!

Below is strawberry, lime, greek yogurt, cream and raw sugar. I really liked them! Elly my 10 year old said the lime was a bit much.

Before we started, we put the popsicle molds in the freezer to chill while we got the ingredients ready.

After cutting and prepping we put all the ingredients in the blender. Then poured it in the molds! After 2 to 3 hours we took the molds out of the freezer and ran warm water over the mold of each popsicle we wanted to eat. The rest can go back in the freezer for later.
