DIY Travel Bags: To Wear & To Wash {Gift Idea!}

July 27, 2016 by Aliesha

DIY Gift Idea: Travel Bags - To Wash & To Wear! | Feathers in Our Nest
I’ve been eyeing these travel bags for a while and wanting to make some of my own!  Aren’t they perfect for travel?  You tuck your clean underthings in one, and then as the trip progresses, transfer them to the other one.  This makes it so easy to keep everything separated in your luggage.  This weekend, I took a few minutes to make a set of my own!

First I grabbed these bags (more than you need, so you can make extras to give as gifts!) and a fabric marker (from Target in the craft department, but this set is similar to the one I bought).DIY Gift Idea: Travel Bags - To Wash & To Wear! | Feathers in Our Nest

You can print out the text in a favorite font to use as inspiration.  (Left: Harlems Font. Right: Wanderlust.)  I used these for reference but put my own twist on the letters!

Place a small piece of cardboard inside the bag so the ink doesn’t bleed through to the other side.  Then write “to wear” on one and “to wash” on the other.DIY Gift Idea: Travel Bags - To Wash & To Wear! | Feathers in Our Nest

Tip: Use the bullet point end of the fabric marker to do faux calligraphy (as pictured). Write the words, then thicken each down stroke to give it that calligraphy or brush pen look.  DIY Gift Idea: Travel Bags - To Wash & To Wear! | Feathers in Our Nest

Other phrases to write on your bags: “bits and baubles,” “hair thingies,” “socks,” “chargers & earbuds,” and “this and that.”

Let me know if you make any!

Theodore turned eleven months old yesterday… for real!  It doesn’t seem like that long ago when my friends threw a baby shower for me and we were joyfully awaiting Baby Apricot’s arrival!

Some milestones:
-pulls up on furniture
-claps his hands
-waves
-babbles some (mostly “dadadada!” but some other sounds too)
-loves to eat!!
-enjoyed splashing in the pool last week
-nurses 5-6 times a day
-takes 2 naps a day
-has 1 tiny curl on the back of his headDSC_7381copysm

He’s such a happy boy and we’re thankful God put him in our family!

Caldrea + Grove Collaborative: Summer Cleaning Kit { F R E E }!

July 19, 2016 by Aliesha

Caldrea Grove Collaborative Summer Entertaining Kit {Free!}

I love sharing great deals with you (which I only do when they are really exceptional!), and this is certainly one I’m excited about!  I wouldn’t want you to miss out on this lovely set of cleaning supplies for your home!

While supplies last, you can score a Caldrea Summer Entertaining Kit that includes Caldrea Dish Soap (your choice of fragrance), Caldrea Countertop Spray (your choice of fragrance), and a Grove Be Good Dish Brush from Grove Collaborative (formerly ePantry).  This set is valued at over $30!

Before your friends arrive this summer, spray your countertops down with the Caldrea Countertop Spray, then set the Caldrea Dish Soap and Grove Dish Brush next to your sink to make clean-up a snap!Caldrea Grove Collaborative Summer Entertaining Kit {Free!}

I ordered the Ginger Pomelo fragrance, which smells AMAZING!  It’s light and sweet without being cloying. It’s fresh and clean and leaves just the right amount of fragrance in the kitchen after spraying the counters and doing the dishes.  The brush is pretty enough to leave out beside the sink and replace that old sponge or dish rag!Caldrea Offer with Image

If you’re new to Grove Collaborative, you’ll get this set FREE + free shipping when you order here and spend $20.

Two of my other favorite products from Grove Collaborative are the Grove kitchen towels and the Grove natural soy candles! I spend a lot of time in my kitchen, so I love having stylish, high-quality products around to make the room an inviting, happy place– for me and my family!  Not to mention, I love making my home smell & look nice when friends come over!
