DIY Stove Cover!

 Recently I posted about a stove cover I had made for my new glass top stove. I received a lot of comments and DMs asking how I made it, so this for blog post today I will be explaining how..


At Home Depot I picked up a 1x6 and a 1x4 board.

(Cut list)

With the 1x6 I cut 4 boards to 29 1/2 inch long each.

With the 1x4 board I cut 2 boards at 22inch each.

*Measure your stove to be sure of your exact cuts*

(Build)

  • With the 29 1/2inch boards for the length of my stove, I attached them all together using wood glue.
  • I then used the 1x4 boards for the sides. Used wood glue to attach the boards and wait for that to dry.
  • Once the glue was dry I went in with my Ryobi Brad Nailer to secure the 1x4 boards to the rest.
  • I left a few wood cracks as I love the imperfections of the wood look. You can feel free use culk to cover it all.
  • I then went in with my sander really thoroughly to get the edges and everything smooth.
(Decorate)
  • What happens next is up to you. Paint, sand.. whatever your preference. 
  • For my design, personally I stained mine with Varathane Stain in the shade Ebony.
  • I then screwed on both of the handles to the 1x4 side boards.
  • After, I used my cricut to add my design. I will add my "Be Our Guest" svg for those who wanted it.

  • I wanted to also make my stove multi-purpose, so I added a safe food seal so id be able to use it as a cutting board as well. 
  • I highly recommend a Polyurethane CLEAR coat when you are finished to keep your project protected, and easy to clean.

HAPE TOYS

Hey loves, welcome back to my blog. As you know I am such a fan of  HAPE  toys, and of course my children are obsessed with them. So for this blog post I wanted to show you a couple of their new toys out! First up is their new product  SILLY SPAGHETTI . Who really said you cant play with your food? With Silly Spaghetti kids can bend and twist the pasta in any way. The kit comes with "food" accessories to make crazy SILLY faces.    James really had a fun time decorating his noodles. He kept giggling while playing saying how funny it was that his "noodles" had eyeballs. Honestly taking photos of him playing was such a breeze because how much he really liked it.  It honestly reminds me of Mr. Potato Head in a way. A famous food you can decorate with silly faces. So I hope you check out  HAPE  new crazy and fun   Silly SPAGHETTI  . So if your kids were a fan of the potato head, they'll love this. Nextup was something...

Independence Hotel

 There's something so amazing about discovering gems in your hometown.  One of them being the wonderful Independence Hotel! We had a wonderful stay in the Junior Suite! Everything was so nice and updated in this room. With two very comfortable queen size beds, beautiful views of the river and downtown, and it was right across from a really nice playground for the kids.  Our room offered a full-size refrigerator, seating area, wet bar with sink, and wonderful robes to wear down to the hot tub . Yes, you read that right, a hot tub! There's  even a very nice gym and bike amenities. My favorite part of our stay at this hotel though? I will forever remember and love the spectacular views from the rooftop patio. It was nice to grab a coffee & some breakfast from their restaurant and head up to the rooftop deck to enjoy the breath-taking views of the Willamette River. The kids enjoyed relaxing at the huge firepit! (Pssssst. I have to tell you, if you plan...

Never Grow Up

  I constantly go between wanting my kids to be little forever, and being excited about all the things they’ll do in this life. When your kids are little, you are so loved—smothered, even. So much that sometimes you need to come up for air. But those little kids that need you so much end up pulling away completely left you wondering when they grew up so fast! When they sit on your lap or crawl in bed with you, you have no idea if it will be the last time. Today may be the last day your baby wants to nurse. It may be the last time they need you to lie down with them when they have a bad dream. It may be the last year they want you to hold their hand walking them to school. It's funny how the same moments that make us want our child to be a bit more independent can make us the most nostalgic when those moments are over. But...  There will come a day when they start thanking you for all you've done. There will come a day when they ask you for relationship advice. There will come ...
