Happy New Year! What’s New for You?!

Jan 01, 2019

At the start of every New Year we make a list of goals to tackle for the next 365 days. So how do you keep the resolutions to save money, lose weight, or take the trip of a lifetime?

Check out the tips below on how to successfully stay on pace to reach your goals:

• Be realistic. Make your goal attainable
• Think ahead. Planning for the future instead of leaving things to chance will help put key pieces in place
• Design a reward system. Working toward a goal with mini celebrations along the way are ways to encourage yourself
• Have a goal buddy. Pick someone you can trust to confide in and help hold you accountable
• Make a pro and con list. Figure out what the good and bad of attaining your goal will be so you can adjust as needed in the process to success
• Track your progress. Seeing the little wins along the way will help keep your focus
• Be kind. Don’t beat yourself up if you fall short at times. It’s a process, and that’s why you have 365 days to reach the finish line

No matter your goal, be proud you are challenging yourself to something new. This time next year you’ll be happy you did!

Dec 01, 2018

What does every parent love to get during the holidays? Why, photos of their family of course! In a few easy steps, you can take a standard photograph and have a beautiful personalized drink coaster for every member of your family! This thoughtful, homemade gift can cost as little as $5 to make, so it certainly will not break the bank!

Materials:

• 4 small tiles (purchased at a home improvement store in the bath section)
• Modge Podge glue
• Small paintbrush
• Scissors
• Printed photos (on copy paper from your home printer)

Instructions:

1. Measure your tile and print the photographs so that they are only slightly larger than the tile. Print.
2. Cut the photo out and coat the back of the photo with Modge Podge using the paintbrush
3. Place the photo on the tile and weigh it down with a large book to set. Leave until the Modge Podge has dried. Preferably overnight.
4. Trim the edges (sand if needed) and brush the while tile with another coat of Modge Podge. Allow to dry and voila!
