Spice Labels free printable from rays of bliss

Now that I buy organic spices in bulk I bought myself a cute little spice rack and needed labels for it.  I created these pretty labels and I am sharing them with you!  Like most my DIY projects I try to make them as easy as possible, so this printable uses the Avery 5293 templatefor their 1 2/3” White Round Labels. If you have the Avery 5293 labels all you have to do is print, peel and stick on!  If you do not have the labels you can print on normal paper (or sticker paper), cut out and stick on to your spice jar. 

Spices Included on print out: Salt, Pepper, Allspice, Basil, Cayon Pepper, Chili, Cinnamon, Cloves, Coriander, Cream of Tarter, Cumin, Curry, Dill, Fennel, Garlic Powder, Garlic Salt, Ginger, Nutmeg, Onion Powder, Oregano, Parsley, Paprika, Red Pepper and Sage.

You can get your spices organized with this set of 24 labels!  I also included a blank sheet for you to hand write any spices not included in my free printable. 

If you are interested in buying organic spices in bulk, I purchase brand Frontier organic spices through Amazon.  I have been very pleased with this brand quality and price. 

Free for Personal Use Only: 

When printing be sure to UNSELECT “Fit to page”

Easy Minecraft Creeper Head Valentine’s Day Box and List of Free Valentines Printables

Blog, Craft Ideas, DIY, Holiday Printables, Kids Printables, Printables, School & Teacher Gifts Printables, Valentine's Day

This year my son wanted a Minecraft Creeper Valentine’s Day Box for his class party.  I did not want to paint or cut out hundreds of different colored squares.  I’m pretty sure painting or gluing that many squares would drive me crazy! So to save my sanity I made the box using a free printout for a DIY Minecraft Creeper costume along with free Minecraft Valentines printable.  It took me less than 30 minutes to make this box and it looks “AWESOME!!!” according to my boys.  If you want to make a Creeper Head box, this is the easy way.  If you really enjoy painting or cutting and gluing hundreds of little squares, then go right ahead but for me, I’m sticking with the printouts.

Supplies Needed:

  • Square or almost square box. (mine has squarish and about 10 inches tall)
  • Paper;
  • Printer
  • Tape (I used mailing tape)
  • Scissors

 

Directions:

  • Tape your box shut if needed and cut a nice size slot on the top. (I made mine large enough for my son’s arm to fit in.)
  • From STLMotherhood download and print the printable creeper mask in color.
    • Cut the white borders off the printout and taped them together like really expensive wrapping paper.
    • You’ll tape together the face and FOUR sides. (And overlap the paper–I overlapped by a full square.)
    • OR Cut the whtie borders and tape to each side of the box, one side at a time, overlap by a full square, then tape and repeat. 
    • For the top with the slot I had to cut and piece. But It still looked good because of the colored squares.
    • I printed 1 extra sheet (page 2) to cover the bottom.
  • From HaleGrafx download and print Free Printable Minecraft Valentines in color.
    • I used the Be MINECRAFT Valeninte on the top. I cut out the heart and words to fit.
    • I taped the 3 other Valentines on the non-Creeper Face sides.

I’m really happy with my son’s box and he is thrilled.  It was really easy to make (my favorite kind of craft) and my son will still want to play with it after Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day Kids Hand-print and Foot-print Free Printable

Blog, Craft Ideas, DIY, For Gifts Printables, Holiday Printables, Kids Printables, Printables, Valentine's Day

I LOVE using my kids hand-prints and foot-prints to make gifts and keepsakes.  They are really easy to make, the kids love to get paint on them and the receiver always loves the gift!  I have seen hand-print flowers and foot-print hearts before but I wanted to make a printout frame and stem for the flower.   I am sharing my printable with you to use and enjoy this Valentine’s Day! 

Here are the finished products.  I used regular printing paper but card stock paper would have been a better choose because it is thicker and sturdier.  I used regular kids washable paint and drew a heart around the heart feet with a black marker.

Essential Oils Diffuse Blends Guide with Free Printable

Blog, Essential Oils, Green Living, Home/ Beauty Printables, Printables

One of my favorite ways to use essential oils is aromatically to help my mood.  I am astonished how essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be very uplifting, while others can be calming and soothing.  You can print my essential oils diffuse blends guide and try out some of my favorite blends!

Beyond emotional benefits, diffusing essential oils can purify air of unwanted odors and some airborne pathogens.  In my home we use our diffussers in the living room and my bedroom.  Sometimes, I move the living room diffuser into my boys room at night if they need extra help going to sleep.

Here are 6 of my favorite diffuser blends that can be used for your emotional wellness. All of these blends are added to 80 ml of water.

My 4 year old son is obsessed with playing Tic-Tac-Toe right now.  We play everyday and several times, he can’t get enough of Tic-Tac-Toe!  His obsession gave me the idea to make him a Valentine he would love to receive and to give.   When I showed it to him he was so excited he plans on giving one to all his friends and cousins.  

Now I’m sharing it with you too!  It is blue and pink so it is gender neutral and there are 4 cards on each print out.  This will make avperfect class Valentine to pass out.  You can pair it with candy or a snack with multiple colors, we like YumEarth Organics Sour Beans or Fruit Snacks!  Also, you could attach to the back 2 different colored crayons or a pencil!  I’m going to get cute decorative washi tape and tape 2 crayons to the back of each Valentine!

My Cleaning Schedule & Free Printable

Cleaning Schedule Free Printable

Keep a Clean House and NOT hate Cleaning (so much)

When I became a stay at home mom just over a year ago I thought cleaning the house would be so easy, boy was I wrong.  I had no schedule or organization to the whole cleaning process so I was left with a untidy home and feeling like a failure. I would tell my family and friends,  “I thought my house was messy before because I worked close to 50 hours a week but I think I’m just a horrible housekeeper!”

I can’t tell you how many time I would get a phone call, “Hey were in the area and stopping by.” ME: “OH CRAP!”  Then you see me running around the house like a mad woman!

I had to put a stop to the madness and also the feeling like I was bad at keeping a clean home.  I came up with a Cleaning Schedule and it really helps me keep my house clean and bonus I do not totally hate cleaning now!  

After using this schedule it  turns out I actually clean quit well!  I just needed a little structure to keep me on track!

The minimum maintenance is the key.

In my attempt to be better at keeping a clean home I ran across this post, The Secret to Successful Home Management-“Minimum Maintenance” from Home Sanctuary.  

  • Do a quick pick up of each room.
  • This will take maybe 30 minutes. 
  • Includes picking up clothes/toys off the floor.
  • Putting dishes in the dishwasher or unloading the dishwasher. 
  • Quick cleaning of kitchen counters.
  • Quick Sweep if necessary. (I have a 4 year old and 1 year, both messy eaters so I have to everyday.)

 

1 load of Laundry a Day instead of “1 Whole Day of Laundry”.

I found that my frustration with laundry went down a notch when I started to do 1 load of laundry a day, opposed to doing it all on Saturday and Sunday.  My weekends were no fun!

On my schedule there is a line by laundry so you can write what load for that day. I do Monday: Jeans Tues: Clean Bedding Wed: Whites Thur: Lights Fri: Darks Sat: Towels. 

*If I have a lot of darks or towels then I will do 2  loads that day. 

Take a day off!

Now that my home stays pretty tidy and I am not buried in dirty laundry I take Sunday off from cleaning.  OK, I still take care of dirty dishes and make my boys pick up after themselves but for the most part there is no cleaning.  

FREE PRINTABLE FOR YOU : I made 3 options for you to print: My Actual Cleaning Schedule, Minimum Maintenance Only, and a Blank Schedule.

I always play upbeat music or my favorite songs while I’m cleaning. Music really helps me stay on task and not focus on the fact that I’m cleaning.  

 Monday- I clean all the floors in the house. This includes vacuuming all the rooms and hallways.  I DO NOT mop kitchen and restrooms this day. I do that on their detail clean day.

Tuesday- I change all the bedding in the house.  This is also my day of laundry for bedding so I do more than 1 load this day. =(  

Wednesday- Clean all the bedrooms this includes cleaning under beds and other crevices, organizing clutter from dresser and tables, dusting, picking up trash and taking glasses/dishes to kitchen and cleaning mirrors.

Thursday- Cleaning Restrooms this includes the restroom floors. 

Friday- Detail Clean the kitchen this includes a good cleaning of the floors, wipe down all appliances, sink and inside microwave. 

Saturday- Sweep front and back porch and yard work if needed.  Clean the doors glass if needed. My back porch is an outside playroom so I put away and organize their toys too.
