Recipe Binder

This has been successfully used for 2 yrs now. A thick wipable binder, card stock, and sleeve protectors. We used a photo binder and 3 types of card stock for ours. But you can use as many variations as you desire. 

The first type is for side dishes. I pulled out all recipes; from friends, internet, cookbooks, etc, that we use.

This color is for main dishes

And this is for drinks and desserts

Only tried and true recipes make the cut. We toss what we don't like. I can add more sections if I need to, but I haven't needed too yet. I do have a small collection of misc on white paper. You could use plain color card stock and make a rainbow with it. Just make it to suit your personality. :)

Also there is a section in the back for all recipes I want to try. 

This makes it easy to plan meals and throw in a new dish. 

Car mat

Was inspired by several beautiful car playmats found through Pinterest. Here is ours

Fort: ready for summer.

The fort is almost finished. With our surprise pregnancy last summer there are a few things to finish up. I went to check for wasp nest and snapped a few pictures of the things we did last year. They also have baskets of bowls and cups and garden stuff that comes out when they do. We have big winds here so it can't all stay out. Super excited how well it all held up in the harsh winter. The kids planted some flowers with me for the fort too. The last picture is crooked and I didn't have time to go back out, so just tilt your head a bit. ;)
