I love my WF. It is by far my favorite purchase ever that I use for my kids. You can see the hacks I use <a href="https://thesmartmomma.blogspot.com/2020/05/wonderfold-wagon-w4-hacks.html" title="here">here</a>. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have heard a lot of complaints about the canopy that comes with the WF not being very big. I definitely agree with that. The first month I got my WF I made a full canopy but it still didn’t cover the front and back. I then purchased a custom canopy from someone who makes liners and I just didn’t prefer the design so I sold it and decided to make my own. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9QX80nmkJcoyWm9nAiFBT0IaCnnctwReqtZAtfgrGOUo00QlEsQ8Egdc3x16CBjBiHsXIaSg53thaSNo34fBJ11sroLM37s3Yty1XyW-Peo7ILEkRLSz9BdW9dQ7SuKz1iH4vSI5fLjOD/s2048/IMG_1856.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1647" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9QX80nmkJcoyWm9nAiFBT0IaCnnctwReqtZAtfgrGOUo00QlEsQ8Egdc3x16CBjBiHsXIaSg53thaSNo34fBJ11sroLM37s3Yty1XyW-Peo7ILEkRLSz9BdW9dQ7SuKz1iH4vSI5fLjOD/w514-h640/IMG_1856.jpg" width="514" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo Above: The first full canopy I made.</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqYea_wlGMqtCLqua8K2l30x0XHb4fRbyPJrDYbikLUbtFNTaC8yHf37S2JU5k-mGXrA6XDY2Xf6dh7cQP73444UXtRaFEYXC5UO8Okwcfjupi47chGO9oGU8L6I-qXXGacmJ9hhzwsC4/s1006/thumbnail_IMG_5977.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1006" data-original-width="828" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqYea_wlGMqtCLqua8K2l30x0XHb4fRbyPJrDYbikLUbtFNTaC8yHf37S2JU5k-mGXrA6XDY2Xf6dh7cQP73444UXtRaFEYXC5UO8Okwcfjupi47chGO9oGU8L6I-qXXGacmJ9hhzwsC4/w526-h640/thumbnail_IMG_5977.jpg" width="526" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo Above: The custom 4 sided canopy I purchased but didn't prefer.</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The original canopy I made had feathers on it to match the liner I had at the time.

I made a full canopy like I originally did however I added panels to the front and back that snap on. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am not very good at sewing nor do I know terms or tricks or even standard hem sizes or whatever.

I believe they purchased it online. It was SO CUTE! I wanted one however I told myself I was going to stop spending money on my WF. I have over $1000 invested in this bad boy and I have a problem buying more and more items for it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">So laying in bed last night I thought about how I could make my own personalized license plate without spending any money. Since I am a crafter, I tend to have lots of craft supplies on hand so I decided to make my very own personalized license plate for my WF without having to spend any money. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here’s how I did it:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I went to the website www.buildasign.com where you can personalize a license plate template. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1RNBVaEM8Xo5znIq_rwSEsXPL4OGK8qh1" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1RNBVaEM8Xo5znIq_rwSEsXPL4OGK8qh1" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">After customizing it you can click on a button that says “large proof”. I screenshot the screen of the proof. Then I opened Paint and pasted the screenshot into it. I then cropped the picture of the license plate proof and saved that image. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1vnibhwlBGu4qKnX45M65VcQw805jd4hn" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1vnibhwlBGu4qKnX45M65VcQw805jd4hn" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1or3iQptp3oQy8Ult_ShStVJAjrEqEJgF" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1or3iQptp3oQy8Ult_ShStVJAjrEqEJgF" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next, I opened Word and insert the image.

<span style="font-size: large;">Have you heard of or considered buying a Wonderfold Wagon?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me first start by saying I am not affiliated with Wonderfold in any way nor am I paid to endorse them. I simply just love this product!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Wonderfold Wagon W4 is the best stroller I have ever owned! I have owned just about every type of stroller out there. From the cheap umbrella stroller to VERY expensive strollers (Bugaboo Donkey Twin Stroller). Right before getting the Wonderfold W4 I was using a Baby Jogger City Select Double Stroller. I thought I had found the best stroller ever until I bought the W4. This blows the City Select out of the water by far!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not going to repeat information you can get on their website, like the dimensions or how many children each model can hold or weight limits. This post is all about how I use the Wonderfold W4, the accessories that I purchased and the hacks that have made it the best stroller I have ever owned; and I am confident it will be the last stroller I ever own.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Accessories I have purchased:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Liners</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first recommendation for someone who buys a WF is that you invest in a liner. These will protect your WF so that your children don't get it incredibly dirty. If you are going to pay this much money for a stroller you want to protect that investment and get the liners so that it lasts and stays looking nice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought my liners from Connie Colten. Her business page is linked <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wagonliners/" target="_blank">here</a>. She makes great liners and you get to pick from hundreds of patterns (I don't personally know her and I am not being paid to endorse her). What I like about her fabric is that she gets it from JoAnn Fabrics and I was able to purchase more of the same print and make my own matching blankets, boppy pillow cover and canopy. I can sew straight lines and simple patterns but there is no way I could have sewn the liners so I purchased them from her. Her liners are also AFFORDABLE! I paid $99 for both seat covers and the bottom liner. Regardless if you buy from her or someone else make sure you invest in the liners first before buying any other accessory.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Cargo Nets</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought cargo nets for the sides and bottom of the WF. These get used every single time I use the WF. I initially bought a pack of 2-15x15 cargo nets for the side but after a few weeks I wanted to repurchase the same ones and they were not available anymore so I purchased <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP6MP3M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">these</a>. The original ones I purchased were better but there is no link to them anymore. The original ones I bought that I liked were sold by Petsvv Direct so maybe if you check they might have them on Amazon but as of writing this post there is no link for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #007000; font-size: x-small;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new ones hold more because they are a bit bigger so they stretch out a little more but they had a chemically smell the first few weeks because I did not wash them first so be sure to wash them before putting them on your WF.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Mostly I store one of the seats under it when my daughter wants to lay down. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not attach the cargo nets to the WF with the hooks they came with. I used <u><span style="color: #000120;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TG9VMWY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">these</a></span></u> zip ties to attach the cargo nets. Keep the hooks from the larger cargo net because they are perfect for putting around the side to hang bags. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Every parent seems to like their own particular parent console but I actually use 2. I bought <a href="https://www.wonderfoldwagon.com/store/p10/parent-console.html#/" target="_blank">this</a> one from Wonderfold. I also bought <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079G4KB6X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">this</a> one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are 6 of us so the 4 cup holders are not enough. Also the second one I bought has a mesh bag that I flip over the back of the wagon and it holds an iPad so the kids can watch a show if they want. I also bought <span id="goog_1649208201"></span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079K5F7BV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">these<span id="goog_1649208202"></span></a> cup holders. I only use one on the handlebar. I use the other one in my house on the bassinet to hold my infant's bottle.</div>

I use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LCH21VW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">this</a> bath rug for the bottom of the WF. I put it in my liner so that the bottom is softer when my kiddos lay down. It came with 2 matts and I still haven't used the second one yet because I always have the liner on so it doesn't get dirty.</div>

<br />
I only used this a handful of times because I don't take my newborns out for at least 2 months after being born and by then they can be put on the bottom of the WF with a boppy pillow. I did use the Totes Baby anytime my infant was asleep in the car seat and I didn't want to wake her taking her out and putting her in the wagon. I never got a picture of using it so if you happen to have one please feel free to post it in the comments section below!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I purchased <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDMYDJO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">this</a> baby wipes holder. It was great until one time I was folding the WF up to put it in my car and the silicone strap got caught and completely ripped. I haven't purchased another since it broke because I just didn't use it that often. Be sure to place it somewhere that it won't get pinched when folding the WF up. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">When I first purchased my W4 there was no extended handlebar. When WF released the extended handlebar I purchased it right away. It is a must have for myself and my husband. I am 5'9 and my husband if 6'1. <a href="https://www.wonderfoldwagon.com/store/p23/extended-handlebar.html" target="_blank">This</a> is the extended handlebar.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">I ended up making the extended handlebar even longer. See that post on how I did it <a href="http://thesmartmomma.blogspot.com/2020/05/diy-extended-w4-handlebar.html?m=1" title="here">here</a>. </span><br />

I love how the seats can be faced in or out. It makes so many seat combinations. I especially used the seat recline where you face the seat outwards and use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075ZTLKJC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">this</a> strap to recline it how much you want it reclined. You also have to flip the front clip upside down when you clip it to the frame.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Zip Tied Harness</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">I like that there is a harness however it always takes me awhile to put them on so I used zip ties to hold the two piece on each side together so I’m not poking around looking for both pieces. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Snack Tray</span>
<br />
<br />
WF offers <a href="https://www.wonderfoldwagon.com/store/p12/snack-tray.html#/" target="_blank">this</a> snack tray. It is great! I would definitely recommend it.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Storage Cover</span><br />
<br />
There was a time when WF was offering a free accessory if you posted a few reviews for their wagon so I did the reviews and chose a storage cover. I use the storage cover anytime I put the WF in the shed. It works great. I wouldn't use it at an airport to gate check the WF but it serves it's purpose for what I need.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Canopy</span><br />
<br />
There is nothing wrong with the canopy that comes with the WF however I wanted a canopy that covered the wagon. You can purchase another canopy from WF but I decided to sew my own. I have little sewing skills but it turned out decent. I sewed one to match my liner and another to use at a few Comic Cons that we plan to go to this year.<br />
<br />
The first one I made with the feather fabric is the one I use the most however it annoys me that the feathers are upside down on one side. When I made the Star Wars one I put a seam down the middle so the pattern wasn't upside down on one side.<br />
<br />
Pictures Below: First canopy that matches my liner. Second canopy that is Star Wars themed and has a seam down the middle so pattern isn't upside down on one side.<br />

I purchased the extended handlebar however it was still not long enough for myself or my husband. We were hunching over while we pushed the wagon. So we took the extended handlebar and made it 6 inches even longer. Here’s how we did it. </span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1nadaVTyVZIFGMBXBEkOmg26gzIGJVyPT" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1nadaVTyVZIFGMBXBEkOmg26gzIGJVyPT" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is how the handlebar looked before we did anything to it. I didn’t have the canopy or the liner on the wagon in this picture but I wanted a before picture. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1vFBh5TEivYeVnx8EXBWDBNE_lsYRKjcl" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1vFBh5TEivYeVnx8EXBWDBNE_lsYRKjcl" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">We made a mark 8 inches from the tip of the handlebar on each side. That was the cut line for each side. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1kGLRZSae1Hyk2cdXeewvVeS-pNK1prz1" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1kGLRZSae1Hyk2cdXeewvVeS-pNK1prz1" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband used a cutter and cut the handlebar on the mark on each side. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1VHFfmMh-08Kqdgc7TD8fYAd2SrCB-ow-" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1VHFfmMh-08Kqdgc7TD8fYAd2SrCB-ow-" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">It cut in less than a minute and it was a nice clean cut. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1bjgbpfYYUDehEpUofdFj1ZXH2mdX79Yn" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1bjgbpfYYUDehEpUofdFj1ZXH2mdX79Yn" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now is the time to cut the 3/4 inch conduit with the same cutter. I added a 6 inch piece of conduit on each side. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1NF6CP-DqnX_v-G2r6IrP3H8hJQ9x-sm5" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1NF6CP-DqnX_v-G2r6IrP3H8hJQ9x-sm5" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">We used the following 3/4 inch couplers to attach the conduit to the handlebar. You will need 4 couplers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1mVtJZlGqpZtXej37wAQPgRtu5OSxVfE6" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1mVtJZlGqpZtXej37wAQPgRtu5OSxVfE6" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=19eTj5eZBezhUt49c3B4kf-3Yi3oVNnef" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=19eTj5eZBezhUt49c3B4kf-3Yi3oVNnef" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1w7GE1mnOFB4L5wHOazkiJhtVcwgtRv9w" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1w7GE1mnOFB4L5wHOazkiJhtVcwgtRv9w" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1YrGiKb5Ux1v65xge8_tWT5CtKP82RtL7" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1YrGiKb5Ux1v65xge8_tWT5CtKP82RtL7" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1cxdLr8dSOYXqvAxUFNRQC5uRR07WPqxG" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1cxdLr8dSOYXqvAxUFNRQC5uRR07WPqxG" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ZqRrKDPRQghHaznYkNSzMf1HzVpG66NB" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ZqRrKDPRQghHaznYkNSzMf1HzVpG66NB" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rather than taking the handlebar cover off I just covered it in a plastic grocery bag and used painters tape on the end to prep the added piece for a nice coat of black spray paint. I used Rustoleum semi-gloss spray paint. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1MCSbgka6H8NXEYfzS0od3sK02AukcuG_" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1MCSbgka6H8NXEYfzS0od3sK02AukcuG_" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love how much longer this handlebar is! The extended handlebar just wasn’t long enough so we just made it longer. The total cost for this was less than $25. I wish I had done this with the original handlebar rather than buying the extended handlebar but I think I have a good idea for the original handlebar and hope to post about that hack at a later date. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font size="5">Do you have a Wonderfold Wagon?

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year my daughter wanted a Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) themed birthday party. The first thing I said was "huh?!?". I had no idea what FNAF even was let alone how I was going to make that happen. After my daughter gave me a short explanation of what FNAF was and I started thinking "I can't believe this is a game I actually had no idea my kids were playing", I went to work trying to figure out how I was going to pull it off...cheaply.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Obviously I could get online and just order a pack of the FNAF party supplies but that's pretty costly and I think those packs look pretty generic. So armed with a printer, cardstock and my experience over the course of 13 years of DIYing my kids birthday parties each year I went to work planning a FNAF birthday party. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Dollar Tree is always my first go to for party supplies. They don't always have everything I need but they are the place to start because what they do have is only $1 each! I picked up balloons, some tissue puff ball thingies (yes that is their official name...I think?), table confetti, popcorn bags, table clothes, paper plates, cups, utensils and napkins.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next I stopped at Party City. I know, I know...Party City doesn't scream DIY but...I wanted premade FNAF items that were just easier to buy than make, like the table centerpiece...I would have spent more money and time making one than just buying the $8 one they had. They also had a door cover and a window decoration. Total spend there...$18.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stopped at Walmart and ordered cupcakes. Of course they did not have FNAF themed ones even though they have every other theme ever. Oh well, it's not the first time I've made plain cupcakes fit the theme I wanted. I purchased cupcakes with a bright pink frosting. Then I bought mini Oreos and M&Ms and used them as eyes. Apparently one of the FNAF characters is a pink cupcake. I think total for the cupcakes, M&Ms and Oreos I spent $10. I could have made them myself and saved money but the cupcakes are like $7 for a dozen at Walmart so I saved myself the trouble of making them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Next is always my favorite part...using my printer. I printed off several pictures for the walls that I found on Google. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I created a popcorn station by covering a bookshelf with a table cloth. I then put popcorn containers and bags on it with several different popcorn seasonings that I already had. Since the party was in the media room in the basement we already had a popcorn machine next to that bookshelf. Some table confetti and the tissue puff thingies hanging completed the station.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Because we travel so much in our fifth wheel, in fact we used to live in a fifth wheel (take a look at that adventure <a href="http://lifewhereweparkit.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>), I made a cute sign to hang from the neck of the fifth wheel. It was pretty easy to make. I took some scrap plywood that I found in the barn and traced the state of Illinois on it. My other half cut it out for me and I spray painted the edges blue. Then I printed out the text I wanted to be on it in the correct size. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I used a pencil to shade the back of the paper then positioned it where I wanted on the sign and traced the text on the front of the paper. This left an imprint on the wood so that I could use a small paint brush and black paint to paint the letters. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our family loves going on bike rides together. When we lived in Indiana we would ride past an old graveyard in our neighborhood that was no longer being visited by relatives. Many of the headstones were unreadable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We decided to brighten the place up. Each time we went on a bike ride we stopped at the graveyard and each of us put fake flowers that I had purchased at the Dollar Tree on a gravesite. Over time the place started to have some color and life again. This was just a cheap way for our family to make the neighborhood graveyard look lively again.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been trying to motivate myself to memorize more Bible verses. I find it easier to memorize them if I see them printed out. Here is how I took some unused space in the kitchen and created a changeable Bible verse board.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is the unused space above the calendar:</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="" height="400" id="id_bba_891a_33e2_3491" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OEDvsIiCFtQ/Wo3hHRvefqI/AAAAAAAADxg/go5MZ8rLHsYlJi-9aWTQxTcLGyvCVeRlQCHMYCw/s400/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" width="299" /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First I printed out a cute image that I found by doing a search for Verse of the Week. I printed it on cardstock and cut it to size, then I laminated it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My daughter had a clipboard she wasn't using so I printed out the first verse I wanted to memorize and clipped it to the board.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="" id="id_4381_6709_dbc9_f83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDBjRKDApgj2vyu7rkOzpNjwPV6VXr5NzR-vSYgL-FgQmsU2nCJ5xSrcT3FFKtPAf6xtWQZzzJubuh-z8CUj1itOqWTisPww02gtOM5Og7jRmh-6jLVLkD5wldtfAIu5IcOEIw16krqR8Q/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I pulled out my small plastic tub full of various command hooks and hangers. I put the hook adhesive on the back of the sign and clipboard.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, I used the adhesive to stick them where I wanted to hang them.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I can just clip a new Bible verse that I print out each week to the clipboard. It is so easy to change out.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">I am so excited to write this post.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I had so much fun doing 32 Random Acts of

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Five years ago, I did something similar for my birthday (see
that post <a href="http://thesmartmomma.blogspot.com/2013/01/27-acts-of-kindness-for-my-27th-birthday.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and it was such a rewarding feeling so I decided to do it again
this year.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">I loved getting my children involved in this because it is
another way of showing them that serving and doing things for others is such a
rewarding feeling.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As always, I love projects that turn out to be free yet add something extra to my home. I recently painted the front door of my house and I had a ton of paint left over. While I was painting my door I noticed how dirty the front steps were. For me it was easy to overlook this for so long because we do not use the front door often. When I really noticed how much TLC the front steps needed I decided to use the leftover paint to spruce them up a bit.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see the front of our 70 year old home had no wow factor. It was just boring and unassuming. Originally I just wanted to paint the door then that turned into painting the steps then that turned into hanging window boxes for flowers. Here is what the front looked like after the door was painted.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wish I had taken more pictures but I think I was just too excited to actually get this project done that I forgot. First I power washed the steps. Next I put on a coat of regular indoor white paint. Once that dried I used frog tape to tape off a couple lines. Then I painted inside the lines that were taped off with the leftover door paint.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I did not pay anything for this project unless you account for supplies I already had on hand but when I factor in the cost for a project I include supplies I buy in the initial project and any extras or leftovers I don't account for in other projects. So I would say that it cost me $50 to paint the door and the steps were free.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The steps look great and the front of the house has a little extra pizzazz. Below you can see I ended up adding window boxes to the front of the house.

<span style="font-size: large;">Aren’t these fall mason jars so cute?! I was at an estate auction and snagged a ton of mason jars for really cheap. These particular jars are not ones I wanted to put food in so I decided to use them as vases. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you a tall parent who struggles to use the diaper changing feature on your Pack ‘n Play? That’s the same problem my husband and I had. We love the fact that it has an area to change Mirabell’s diaper but we hated that it hurt our back to use it. I looked online to see what taller parents did to make it bearable but I didn’t find any ideas so I came up with my own hack. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Really the problem is that the entire Pack ‘n Play is too short but I didn’t have furniture risers nor did I want to spend $20 on them so I used what I already had. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My husband brought in cinder blocks that he wasn’t using and we put them under the Pack ‘n Play for the day to make sure the new height would work and boy did it! Changing diapers on it was no longer straining my back.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple days before this project I noticed that someone in my house got super glue on my dining room tablecloth and rather than throw it away I put it in my scrap fabric bin. Little did I know I would be using it just a few days later.</span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wrapped the cinder blocks in fabric so that they would look better. I used the same technique as I used when I made a door stopper (see that technique <a href="http://thesmartmomma.blogspot.com/2017/10/diy-door-stopper.html" target="_blank">here</a>). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall, this was a simple, quick and inexpensive DIY project that saved <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">my back from aching while changing diapers and it looks nicer than just using furniture risers.</span></span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We have a small storage room under the stairs that we did not know what to do with. Originally we put a small desk in there with a computer for the kids but they never really used the computer so the room pretty much went unused. Then we used it for storage for a few months but we have such a large storage room in the basement that we decided to give the small room under the stairs a makeover since we have baby #3 due in a few weeks.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We decided to create a playroom under the stairs for the kids! They picked the theme, which is Under the Sea, and they helped paint and decorate it. It was a fun family project that only took a couple days.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">First we cleared out the room.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Because the room was used for storage the paint was scratched off in many places but that wasn't a big deal because we were painting it anyways. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I used a darker color paint to touch up the bottom part of the room. Since the bottom will look like sand the different colors of tan and beige will look just fine after we use sponge brushes on it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I put Press n Seal on the carpet along the walls so that any paint drips wouldn't get on the carpet. Considering my kids were going to help paint I knew this was important and once the painting was done and I saw all the drips on the Press n Seal I was glad I didn't forget this step.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The kids used sponge brushes and a lighter paint color to make the bottom look like sand. They just dabbed the sponge brushes in the paint and then dabbed the wall. It was pretty easy for them.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The next step was to mix the same blue paint with white paint to paint the upper half of the wall a lighter color. This idea was my daughter's. She thought it would look better for the blue to be lighter as it went up. It really adds some depth to the room.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The kids put books on the shelves and toys in the cabinets. I had some old throw pillows that I let them put on the floor so they can lay on them when they read or play.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Overall the whole remodel cost less than $150. I already had all the paint from other projects. The wall stickers cost about $60 and the IKEA shelves and cabinets cost about $80.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This was an easy family project and because the kids were involved in almost every step I think they appreciate it even more. They really enjoy the space and I know when baby #3 gets old enough it will be a great little play room she can enjoy as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">When we bought our home about a year ago we knew that we would be remodeling the bathroom upstairs at some point. When we found out I was pregnant we decided to get it done before baby #3 arrived. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The bathroom is mainly used by the kids so pardon how messy the before pictures are. Since it is their bathroom they are the ones who clean it and because they are only 12 and 8 years old their idea of clean is a bit different than mine.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There are so many things about the bathroom that I did not like but my least favorite thing was that because the toilet was across from the vanity whenever you sat on the toilet your knees pretty much touched the vanity. The vanity was just too big for the bathroom and it felt so cramped. My solution for this was to move the vanity to the other side of the wall, next to the toilet. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As you can see from the pictures the walls were tiled and the drywall above the tile was cracked in many places so we knew we needed to gut the room. We were originally going to gut the entire room however we realized the bathtub and surround were in great condition and we decided to keep them to save money. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After gutting most of the room my husband moved the vent from the wall to the floor and we had plumbers come in and move pipes so that we could put the vanity next to the toilet. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After that the drywall went up then the tile floors that look like wood planks. Paint, trim and lots of caulk later the bathroom was almost done. Light fixtures, outlets, switches and then decorations completed the bathroom remodel.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The bathroom looks so much better than it did before. The kids really like it and it was completed with only a $2000 budget. Luckily my other half was able to do much of the work himself so that saved us a ton of money. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am SO excited to share this product with you! It really is amazing!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just an FYI...I am not getting paid to sponsor this product and it was not sent to me for free to sample. I just so happened to see it while I was getting a gallon of paint mixed and thought to myself, "heck it's less than $5, I'll give it a try". Boy am I glad I did!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We recently gutted and remodeled the kids' bathroom upstairs (see that post here). While I was at Menards getting paint I saw a little rack with lots of these Glade Paint Additives on it. Since it takes about 10 minutes to mix paint my husband and I stood there smelling each one. Our favorite was the Crisp Waters. I didn't really think I as going to buy one but since it smelled so good I figured I would give it a chance. I am 8 months pregnant and knew I would be the one painting the bathroom so why not splurge a little and see if this product actually works.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And work it did! I spent several hours in the bathroom painting then putting on a second coat and then doing touch up paint and not once did I notice the paint smell. All I could smell was the Glade scent. Even the next day my husband walked in and said that it still smelled like the Glade additive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is so easy to use. All you do is pour it into a gallon of paint and mix it well. It completely masked the paint smell and just smelled so fresh!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM5dqEXAwMkbV4zHqePEReJEi105QAvdtGwN41Q-lVwGyovhttAvO_70fdKm694e5Ic8AsqHJM3Fjg3TXCih5k-tzKVFrTKE35NtOJaoWgvQcKvceAxwusJbWEEhBJ2rj1iezXUjjrl1E_/s1600/IMG_1263.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM5dqEXAwMkbV4zHqePEReJEi105QAvdtGwN41Q-lVwGyovhttAvO_70fdKm694e5Ic8AsqHJM3Fjg3TXCih5k-tzKVFrTKE35NtOJaoWgvQcKvceAxwusJbWEEhBJ2rj1iezXUjjrl1E_/s640/IMG_1263.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So this is the paint I bought and you can see the Glade Paint Additive isn't very big.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just poured the additive right on top of the paint then I mixed it for about a minute with a paint stirrer. It was really that easy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I cannot express to you enough how amazing this paint smelled.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a super easy DIY project for you today. I'm so excited to share it. As you all know I love saving money by DIYing everything so when it came to baby blankets I made no exception. I am due in just 6 weeks and I realized that I still needed baby blankets. Blankets at the store run at least $5 each and the nice soft ones can be as much as $20 even at Walmart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was able to make my own easy no-sew fleece baby blankets for only $2 each, Let me share how.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought the fleece from Joanne Fabrics at 70% off. Every year the Saturday after Thanksgiving they run the 70% off sale on anti-pill fleece so that is how I scored each yard of fleece for only $4! I was able to make two blankets out of each yard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First lay out a yard of fleece.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut the two ends off that have the words and the odd stitching.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then cut the fabric in half.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it! No sewing and no tying. Just make sure you cut straight lines. There is no need to stitch it and it will not fray or unravel.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Any outdoor wedding and reception that lasts into the evening needs lights so why not create a magical ambiance with Christmas lights? It is an affordable and easy do it yourself option.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We hosted a wedding of one of our relatives at our farm this past summer and the lights created such an amazing effect after the sun set. To see all the amazing ideas used at that wedding click <a href="http://thesmartmomma.blogspot.com/2017/09/totally-doable-backyard-wedding-ideas.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The lighting is everything when it starts to get dark out. String lights are simple to hang and are budget friendly. You may have enough Christmas lights in your attic so that you don't have to buy any. If you don't already have some try borrowing them from friends and relatives but make sure they label them with their names. If you are planning long enough in advance you may even be able to buy them right after Christmas when they are significantly discounted.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Day 1</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We ordered 50 day old quail chicks for a total of $115, which was $1.50 for each chick plus $40 shipping. We ordered them from <a href="http://loudounberryfarm.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. It took 2 days to receive the chicks at our local post office after they were shipped. Upon opening the box there was one chick that was dead and 4 others that were barely hanging on to life. Those 4 died within an hour or so of getting home.</span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The brooder box was ready to go when we got them home. We just used an old plastic tub with wood shavings at the bottom. We also had a heat lamp with a red bulb in it. I chose the red bulb because I read somewhere that they preferred red bulbs. I don't now if that's true but it works and was the same price. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For the water dishes I just used some old small tupperware that I had. I put little glass stones in the bottom of the water dishes so that the chicks wouldn't drown. Apparently quail chicks are not very bright and will drown in even a little bit of water.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For food I just put chicken starter in a blender to make it very fine and put it in another small tupperware.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I filled the water 3 times a day and the food once a day. After losing 5 chicks within the first hour, 5 more died throughout the day. I was consistently checking on them so I could see them as they started to get weak. I would dip their beaks in water and show them the food but for some reason they just wouldn't move much. It didn't help that the other chicks seemed to like to stand right on top of the weak ones. Because of this I put the weak ones in a tupperware so that the healthy ones couldn't trample them. It did not help. So by the end of the day we lost 10 of them out of the 50.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 2</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">By the morning 3 more chicks had died. I don't know if I had done something wrong but they seemed fine the day before and then they were just dead. All the others looked fine. I kept their water and food filled.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 3</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">By the end of the day, 3 more chicks died so out of 50 chicks we have 34 left. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 7</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today we decided that the chicks were big enough to handle a bigger feeder and waterer. They are doing just fine with it and none have drowned in the waterer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Day 9</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I noticed that the quail started to fly up enough to get out of the plastic tubs they were in so my husband put chicken wire over the boxes so that they wouldn't fly out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 12</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was so excited today because we finally were able to transfer the quail from their plastic tub brooder boxes to their permanent coop. My husband made their permanent coop out of extra wood, tin and chicken wire we had laying around the farm, so although it is not the most beautiful coop it sure does provide them with a lot more room. We did not open the doors for them to use the run yet because we want them to get just a bit bigger before they are able to go outside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 17</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today we were able to open one of the runs for the quail. They seemed very excited to go outside. They had never been in the grass before or outside for that matter. They did not rush outside but slowly we saw a few at a time go outside and explore. We will leave the run open even at night because the weather is decent but when it starts to get cold we will close the run at night so that the quail can stay warm.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our free range chickens were curious and went up to the run. The quail could stick their head out through the chicken wire but they couldn't actually get through it. I was worried the chickens might hurt them but there were no problems.</span> <br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 25</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We now have both doors open to each run. The quail are using both runs and they all look healthy. Sometimes when we open the lid for the coop a quail will fly out. This hasn't been too much of a problem yet because when they fly out they just stand by the run where the other quail are so we are able to catch them right away. I'm hoping they continue to do that when they get out otherwise they would not survive on their own if they fly away. We are trying to be more careful when we open the lid. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We haven't had any problems with the chickens, ducks or even the dog going up to the run. They still poke their heads out of the chicken wire but luckily our dog doesn't bother them. In fact our dog doesn't even bother the chickens and ducks, both of which are free range.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Although our quail are still too young to be laying eggs I look forward to when they do. I plan to sell them at The Egg Shack (read about that <a href="http://thesmartmomma.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-egg-shack.html" target="_blank">here</a>). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I do not know how to tell if they are male or female so I guess I will get a better idea of their sex when they start laying and I count the number of eggs we get each day.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall, the first few weeks have been great. I must admit I was very worried at first because so many of the chicks had died but after the first several days they all seemed healthy and caring for them is pretty easy. Just feed and water them each day and make sure they have an adequate living space with plenty of room and a heat lamp. They are such a nice addition to our growing farm!</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">I started seeing a trend in wood flooring being installed on
walls.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I knew that I wanted to try this
but on a much smaller scale and much cheaper than some people were doing it
for.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I started to think about how I
could get the same look without it costing a ton.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>That is when it came to me that I should use
vinyl flooring that looks like wood.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It
is an inexpensive alternative yet it still gives the appearance of wood.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">There was a small wall in my bathroom behind the toilet that
was a perfect place for this project.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As
you can see the wall is kind of boring and there isn’t much personality to the
area.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I know, I know…it’s just behind
the toilet but it just needed something extra.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"><div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: center;">
Now I hope you are actually reading this post instead of
just looking at the pictures because at first this project was a major fail!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>My initial thought was that since vinyl
flooring is so light I could just use liquid nails to glue the pieces to the
wall.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>At first that seemed like no
problem.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So I measured and cut the
flooring to size then I put the glue on it and then used painters tape to hold
it thinking that once it dried I could peel the tape off and it would adhere to
the wall with no problems. Boy was I wrong.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Almost immediately the vinyl flooring did not want to stay
on the wall.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I thought oh let’s just add
more tape to keep it in place.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I did
that and it held for the most part but when I started to take the tape off I
noticed that although the vinyl flooring was sticking it was not flush with the
wall.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was bowing out in several
places.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Each piece had some bowing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Now at this point I couldn’t just peel the flooring off the
wall and say never mind to the whole project.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>The vinyl was connected to the wall with liquid nails.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This is when my project turned from a “DIY”
to a “DIY + ask my husband for help”.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>He
suggested that we use a finishing nail gun to help correct the bowing and to
ensure that the pieces would not fall off over time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Thankfully he saved this project.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It went from a total fail to wow I love how
the wall looks.</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The door to the office at my house never seemed to stay open. Of course I could have bought a door stopper at the store but why buy one when I could make one for free?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">All I needed was three things, which I already had. A brick, some fabric and some glue. I used liquid stitch because that's what I grabbed from my craft room first but you could use super glue or even a hot glue gun.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took my scrap fabric and laid it with the finished side down. Then I put the brick on it and folded each side to get an idea of where to cut the extra fabric. (See the pictures below).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am very happy with this door stopper! Not only does it work better than a cheap rubber one you buy at the store, it looks much nicer and because I used leftover fabric from the valances I made it matches the home décor perfectly. Best of all...it was free!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We stuck the bottom portion of the PVC in the concrete and used scrap wood to stabilize it while the concrete dried. After it dried we connected the rest of the PVC.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This project took two days to complete because we had to wait for paint and concrete to dry. Overall it was fairly simple and it made a big impact in terms of the decorations.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Below are a couple other items I made for the sports camp. A scoreboard to be used as a decoration and clipboards for parents to use to fill out the forms.</span><br />
