food: Cheesecake Brownies

This post is mostly for my sisters. Growing up my mom would make Black Bottom Cupcakes and it was a family favorite. I had some left over cream cheese and was craving BBCs. I modified the recipes to create THESE!

craft: Butterfly Mobile

We have adjusted to being parents of twins and now I'm back to crafting. I've wanted a mobile for the nursery FOREVER but with our family situation ALWAYS changing I couldn't bite the bullet and buy one. So, I MADE my own mobile using this:

It's perfect for us because I can make one for boy or girl. I don't have to find a one style fits all. Loving that I don't have to be gender neutral in everything! Here's my version:

(this of course is not our nursery. I don't have a hooks placed yet, but one will hang above each crib)

Tips and tricks:

I bought a butterfly punch from the local craft store using a 40% off coupon-making the punch 9 dollars

You will probably only need 3 12x12 pieces of paper and 4 pieces of velum

I used both the inside and the outside of a an embroidery ring to make 2

When hanging the butterfly's make sure you use the LIGHTEST weight fishing line you can find. I used 6LBS weight.

Have I said that I love KSL! Here's a link to the video and instructions.
