The post Cheap Polka Dot Room (Perfect for a Rental House!) + Silhouette Designer Studio Promo + A Silhouette Portrait Giveaway! appeared first on A Mouse In My Kitchen.
]]>Anyway. Enough complaining.
My kids share one of the bedrooms so that they can have a play room (best idea ever, by the way.) So, in their room, they have beds. and stuffed animals. and that’s it. It makes it much easier for them to sleep at night with absolutely no distractions. But, their room is super boring. So, I decided to jazz it up a bit with a polka dot wall.
I think it’s fun anyway.
So, how did I do it?
Easy. And cheap! I used my silhouette machine and some adhesive card stock I got from the silhouette store. It sells for just $12.99, and I didn’t even use a whole pack.
I just cut two different size circles and hung them on the wall. Easy peasy.
However… I would like to say that this stood up to the toddler test… it didn’t…
It took this little girl all of ten minutes to decide we didn’t really need the bottom two rows of polka dots. All the ones she couldn’t reach are holding strong though!
Would you like to be able to create fun projects like this? Right now is a GREAT time to buy your very own Silhouette Machine. Here are the awesome deals on their machines right now. The awesome thing is that these machines come with the Silhouette Studio Designer Addition Software.

]]>The post Monster Repellent (AKA Magic Sleep Spray) appeared first on A Mouse In My Kitchen.
]]>This Magic Spray is simple enough to make. I bought a squirt bottle from Spark Naturals and filled in almost all the way full of water, then I added about five drops of lavender essential oil and shook it up.
I shake it every time before I use it. When it’s bedtime, I spray that yummy smelling stuff on the pillows and blankets and where ever there might be monsters all while telling my son that the monster’s don’t like this stuff and they are all going to go away.
And guess what? Most of the time, it works. Like a charm.
I can’t say it’s 100% effective every night, but I do notice a difference when I use it. It calms my kids down and helps them fall asleep faster. It definitely doesn’t take place of the bedtime routine, but it sure helps!
If you’ve been wanting to get started with essential oils but haven’t because of the investment involved, right now is the PERFECT time! Spark Naturals is offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders! Combine the 10% off you get when you use the coupon code MOUSE and you have yourself a DEAL!
If you want to make your own Sleep Spray, be sure to use the code MOUSE when ordering your lavender from Spark Naturals to get 10% off your order. And if you want an awesome label for your bottle, feel free to use the one on this post! Just right click and save the image.
Be sure to enter the Share The Love giveaway going on right now! You could win a great bundle of oils for you AND a friend!
